Happy Freakin' New Years

Ok I'm back Happy New Year.

I left TiVo recording two different New Years specials.

Dick Clark's New Year Rockin' Eve 2006
Bad singers, Ryan Seascrest and a very healthy Mariah Carey was no distraction for a sad Dick Clark. After a stroke that nearly killed Clark he had to relearn speech, walking and basically everything we take for granted.
Clark was there for on and a half hours. He slurred his L words and moved one side of his body easier them the other yet still sounded better then Hillary Duff.

NY1's Times Square Coverage
NY1 is a 24 hour news cable station famous in New York. They cover the Times Square ball drop live with only a few interviews and the crowd speaking to the camera. It is nicer and more genuine then the other specials.
What was truly funny is that a group of Mexicans, one in a wheel chair, were yelling Happy New Years to the camera and let out a happy "Shit Yeah".

NBC had Wanda Sykes and Carson Daly being tools on TV.

CBS had nothing but a repeat of CSI.
