Entertainment News for Early April 2004

The Sports Page
The bidding process for the NHL's TV rights is now complete. The new TV contract will run from 2004-05 thru 2009-10.
- NBC (Peacock) will a carry a slate of regular season games on weekend afternoons. In addition, NBC will have the rights to the Clarence Campbell Conference finals and become exclusive home to the Stanley Cup Finals.
- For at least the next six years, SBC (Saban) will retain Wednesday Night Hockey, a staple of that network since the early Eighties.
- ESPN (Henson) will retain National Hockey Night for Tuesday, Thursday and Friday Nights. Monday nights will be added after the conclusion of the NFL's regular season. ESPN will also be the home for the Prince of Wales Conference Finals.
- For the next six years, SBC and NBC will rotate coverage of the NHL's All Star Weekend with NBC carrying the event in odd-numbered years (2004-05, 2006-07, 2008-09).
- Current NHL on Fox personnel will likely move to NBC next season.
- Mike "Doc" Emrick, longtime voice of SBC's Wednesday Night Hockey will likely stay put.

Over in football, the first two are in.
- SBC (Saban) will retain the AFC, which they have held since 1998. SBC had previously outbid NBC for the AFC in 1987, only for NBC to regain the rights to that same conference from 1990 thru '97.
- ABC (Henson) will retain Monday Night Football, which they have held since 1970.
- As for Sunday nights, Thursday nights and the NFC afternoon rights, a deadlock has prompted NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue to conduct runoff bidding, the poll for which you can vote on here: https://forms.gle/oSzyBWzJmDt35Fao9

Time yet again for another Logo History post. This time, it's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV series.

Season 1 (December 1987; Syndicated)
Season 2 (September 1988-May 1989; SBC)

In April of 1989, Disney acquired a majority stake in the TMNT franchise but allowed Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird to retain final say in Turtle projects going forward.

Seasons 3 thru 5 (September 1989 thru February 1992; Fox)

The MWS logo above is accompanied by two new partners:

Seasons 6 thru 10 (September 1992 thru November 1996; Fox)
Disney takes over production from MWS with Tad Stones supervising.

This just in...

Excerpt from the May 23, 2004 evening edition of SportsCenter.

Stuart Scott: "While we have a break in NBA and NHL playoff action, we have some football to talk about. The NFL has settled on its TV partners for a new contract slated to take effect in 2006. Earlier this month, the league extended its deal with SBC for the AFC while Monday Night Football will stay at ABC. Today, Commissioner Paul Tagliabue announced at an owners' meeting in Los Angeles that the NFC will stay at CBS for the next six years. Disney Enterprises, Inc., parent company of Fox, confirmed to us that they will retain Sunday Night rights, also for the next six years."

Steve Levy: "While none of the current broadcasting partners fumbled, the league now has a new partner for Thursday Night games in November and December. MCA Holdings, which owns the USA Network, paid $2.5 billion for USA to carry the Thursday Night package from 2006 thru at least 2011. A spokesperson for USA says they will likely bring the HelmetCam - normally used on World League telecasts in the spring - to Thursday Night Football in the fall."

Stuart Scott: "So to recap; SBC keeps the AFC, CBS keeps the NFC, Fox keeps Sunday Nights, ABC keeps Monday Nights and Thursday Nights will debut on USA. Once again, this new TV deal takes effect in '06."​

Entertainment News for Memorial Day Weekend 2004

Universal's new president Gale Anne Hurd on additional details concerning the T2 disaster in New Orleans:
"After Bridgette dragged Gus out of the Holiday Inn, Arnold ran after her but was wrestled by New Orleans' finest. The NOPD tazed Arnie and tried to nail him for disorderly conduct. While Arnie was still being processed at the Central Lockup, Jim disappeared from the hotel. I went down to the front desk and had to ask the bellboy for a phone book. I called every French Quarter business that was listed in the yellow pages and learned Jim had snuck out to Pat O'Brien's. By the time I rushed to the bar, Jim was already on his eighth or ninth Molson. He said to the bartender 'That lil' swamp rat is gonna be dead or in jail if he doesn't get away from that crazy bitch,' to which the bartender nodded his head in agreement. I tried to summon Jim out of the bar, but he fell face first on the floor. Then, I had to physically carry his drunk ass across Bourbon Street to our rent-a-car on the way back to the hotel. The rest of the money New Line gave us for the table reading wound up going towards Jim's tab and Arnie's bail. When we returned to Los Angeles, you could fry an egg on Bob Shaye's forehead because he was so pissed over what happened."
- Interview with The Hollywood Reporter

"I saw Terminator 2 with Gus and Howie at the AMC that had opened a short time earlier at Hyperion Wharf [Known IOTL as Pleasure Island/Disney Springs]. When we got to the flood canal chase, Gus whispered to me and said 'That should've been me up there.'"
- AJ McLean in an interview with Kelly Ripa on SBC's Sunrise.

Former New Orleans Police Superintendent Warren Woodfork:
"The actions of our agency 14 years ago were unacceptable. Officer Robbins had no probable cause to deploy a tazer to subdue Mr. Schwarzenegger while Ms. St. Pierre was the real suspect who unlawfully disrupted her son's Terminator audition."
- Press conference shown on all major news platforms.

Ivy Boudreaux (Gus St. Pierre's aunt, now 53): "Gus was very hurt when he explained to me and Andre what happened. Later that night Andre openly wished Arnold had 'smoked' the officer that tazed him like some of his characters would've done."
- Interview with KCOP (Fox O&O in Los Angeles) Local News

Gus St. Pierre visits two graves; one epitaph reads "Andre Boudreax, beloved husband, father and uncle, March 15, 1951 - September 16, 2000," the other reads "In loving memory, Colette St. Pierre, January 10, 1970 - June 17, 1994." Gus places flowers on each grave as a tear slides down his cheek.

Gus: "Uncle Andre, Colette, I really wish y'all was here to meet Archie..."

This multi-disc box set will include not only the classic Warner Bros. and MGM shorts that Tex directed in the late 1930's and early Forties, but also, Avery's postwar cartoons with 20th Century-Fox and Famous Studios. In addition, The Wacky World of Tex Avery, his 1970's anthology series, will be included as well."
