Re: Letterman now in HD

It will take more than HD to get folks to watch Letterman. Last night's
broadcast was a disgrace (content-wise) and they continue to struggle for
semi-decent material. A stunning picture and great sound just make the sad
situation a lot worse. His shtick is getting very tired.

I have been watching Letterman since he had a mid-day TV show (way back in
the late 70's), and I appreciate his talent. But these past few years have
not been his finest. At this point in the race, Leno is miles ahead in the
"entertainment" department.

Regarding Dave's comments, most people watching the show in SD probably
don't know what HD really is, or even care. Those folks watching in HD (like
us) just wound up shaking our heads...and changing the channel.
