A .comprehensive site dedicated to television’s variety show genre

Listen to KSAV’s “TV Confidential with Ed Robertson and Frankie Montiforte” every other Tuesday @ 10:30 PM EST

Talking Television With Dave White was “the best 90 minutes of television on the radio.”  I first found this program when the Official Gilligan’s Island Site owner was a guest. I listened to the entire show and was impressed with the high quality of it.  Each week consisted of an opener, a run down of the latest television on DVD, a report or two about television then the guest is interviewed.  Did I say it was great?  It was.

On the 24th of June, this site, and its owner were on the show. Were you listening?
