AHHHHHH….Baseball! Murphy Klasing’s Conservative Blog

Then in college I really became more and more of a sports enthusiast while living with a roommate who was and to some degree still is “all sports, all the time.” But my real passion for the game came in 1990. It was that year (my senior year at the University of Texas) that I assisted in coaching the Austin, Westlake Hills Little League Minor League Red Sox.

I am top left next to Benjamin Schenkkan–you might know him as Ben McKenzie But I digress…(seriously though–watch SouthLAnd–he is awesome)

Networks start marketing fall early
Summer-long ad campaigns get creative
The focus at NBC is squarely "The Jay Leno Show" given that it reps five hours of primetime for the Peacock.
"We have to love all of our children, but Jay is a particularly big child, as he occupies five nights a week," Stotsky says.
NBC has already been airing special promos for the Leno gabber every night at 10 o'clock in order to get viewers used to the host's new timeslot. Leno promotions outside of the network will find their way into elevators, taxis and grocery store lines -- mundane locations, Stotsky says, "that could use a bit more laughs."
Given the scope of the "Leno" show, the weeknight strip may get a bigger marketing push than your average new series. But at the same time, NBC won't be spending the equivalent of promoting five new shows.
"It's one franchise, so it doesn't demand five times the marketing budget," Stotsky says. "But it creates an opportunity for us to focus on some of the other new product."

That includes freeing up some dollars up to promote frosh entries "Community," "Trauma" and "Parenthood." NBC will also focus some efforts on relaunching midseason entries "Southland" and "Parks and Recreation."

"Southland" in Australia?
Nine, Warners renew pact

Nine, Warners renew pact

$500 mil deal brings content to Australia through 2015

In what is being billed as the largest single TV deal ever inked in Australia, Network Nine finally has locked up a renewal of its long-standing output pact with Warner Bros. for series and movies.

The total price tag for five more years of content through 2015 is almost $500 million if all escalators kick in and the studio's slate continues as hefty as it is today.

Competition for Warners' upcoming product was heated because Nine rival the Seven Network, the top-rated player Down Under, had made an aggressive counter-offer.

The Aussie arrangement essentially secures for Nine ongoing access to upcoming series from such Warners-based TV producers as Jerry Bruckheimer, John Wells, J.J. Abrams, Josh Schwartz, Kevin Williamson and Chuck Lorre as well as the studio's entire slate -- think three more "Harry Potter" installments, Christopher Nolan's "Inception" with Leonardo DiCaprio and more "Happy Feet."

*Ben McKenzie- I actually got him confused with someone else but he was cool about it and said his name was "Dave." Best known from the show "The O.C."
*Adam Brody- Nice guy and best known from the show "The O.C."

Oh and Amanda Rigetti was also there

Thanks, Hanna!

That guy confused Ben with somebody... well at least Ben was cool about it. It's awesome when Ben and Adam hang out together.

And the title's fine imo.

You welcome guys

This guy from Sweden interviewed Ben!

Quote:

Intervjuade just Ben "Ryan i The OC" McKenzie om rollen i Southland. Sympatisk karl. Och som ett stort OC-fan var det så klart tufft

Just interviewed Ben " Ryan from the OC" Mckenzie about his part in Southland. Pleasant/ sympathetic man. And as a hard-core OC fan of course it was tough

Daniel Åberg (dannyboysthlm) on Twitter

I´m gonna ask if it will be on tv or in a magazine.

Old pic of Ben. also taken in Mansion South Beach Miami when OC was filming there.

**LoveBEN** · 06-25-2009, 02:13 PM

Thanks Hanna

I love how everyone says he's a nice guy when interviewing him.

**swedish_girl80** · 06-25-2009, 03:31 PM

No problem

I love it too

Hey guys, I don't mean to hijack this thread -- and moderators, feel free to delete this post if you feel I'm violating the rules -- but I have HUGE news. No, it's not Ben-related, but trust me, it's earth-shattering.

Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett both DIED today! I can't believe it -- both legends and big stars, both gone! I grew up listening to Michael's music, and of course I was always aware of Farrah's sexy reputation, so this news hit me kind of hard. I feel like a small part of my childhood died with them, silly as that may sound.

What's REALLY tragic is that Michael was preparing for his "comeback", he was trying very hard to put his life back together. He was rehearsing for a concert tour when he succumbed unexpectedly to a heart attack.

I know... we were posting about it in the OT thread. So sad! I loved Michael Jackson. He is and will forever be the King of Pop.

Farrah I knew was dying, so although it's sad, it's not as bit of a shock. I literally started crying when I found out about Mike.

Ohhh I didn't realize there was an OT thread! I'll direct all future posts about Michael Jackson or Farrah Fawcett on that thread. I assume it is identified as being an OT thread in the main forum? Thanks, TC!
