At Blue Mass. Group, David Kravits makes the case. At issue: What Coakley said in response to some question by Janet Wu on Channel 5's new political show. Speaking of which, KennedySeat.com wonders when the adults will show up on the show:

... In the three episodes of this show I have watched (I skipped Christy), I have continually been struck by how the guests just run circles around the hosts, who are clearly overmatched. Even Pagliuca, who is a neophyte in the political world, handled the Channel 5 team easily. ...

John Carroll sat amazed last night as he watched Rhondella Richardson narrate a report on swine flu with a face mask on - because she was standing outside the house of somebody who apparently had it. Or as he puts it:

A surgical mask?

Really?

When Richardson was nowhere near the maybe-infected family?

Really really pathetic.

Ross Levanto watches it this morning, gives it high marks, except for the Andy Hilleresque pop quiz.

Is it sweeps week? Do they even have that anymore?

The Globe reports that Price, mutual agreemented from Channel 7, is being considered for an anchor job at Channel 5.

A 30-minute special every three months.

Does anybody in Boston TV actually take the T?

In a story about the alleged grampa groper, Channel 4 said he was caught on the MBTA commuter train. In its story, Channel 5 said he was caught on an Orange Line trolley.

Surprisingly, the Pervo Post, um, the Herald, has yet to report on the arrest.

A 30-minute ad for ABC shows that uses those pop-up bubbles that were old on VH1 five years ago? ABC shows that, except for "Dancing with the Stars" and "Lost," will all be cancelled within two months? Really, ABC?

Dave Alpert doesn't mind that the WCVB weatherman boasts of meeting Jewel. What frosts him is how Wankum says he met Jewel:

... Mike Wankum explained that he met Jewel because at a KISS Concert they invited "my daughter and I back there" [to meet her]. That is retard English, ENTIRELY unbecoming of a TV celebrity with an advanced degree (and from a man that innocent, grammar loving children look up to). Shouldn’t he be punished like Phelps???? ...

Would it be obnoxious to point out that Alpert made a grammatical mistake in complaining about Wankum's grammatical mistake?
