And fuck Leno for not doing this; Both shows are NBC owned, and Letterman is supporting Battlestar?? At least Dave's writers know good TV, and Leno's shill writers can go fuck themselves.

I thought NBC owned Sci-Fi and was backing Battlestar Galactica, including airing the miniseries premiere and putting reruns in HD on UHD. Does Letterman and/or CBS have any involvement at all with BSG ? If not, it's even cooler of Dave. If so, oh well - it's still cool he's promoting them.

Did you see this? From the SCI FI Wire:

SCI FI Channel's Emmy and Peabody Award-winning original series Battlestar Galactica kicks off its fourth and final season on March 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT with two back-to-back half-hour specials, with the first new episode premiering the following week, April 4, 10 p.m.

Beginning at 10 on March 28, Battlestar Galactica: Revisited will serve up the essential information on the series' past three seasons, providing the uninitiated with an introduction to the characters, relationships and backstory. Executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick serve as guides and hosts.

Battlestar Galactica: The Phenomenon follows at 10:30 and is a celebrity-studded celebration of the show's effect on pop culture. Interviewees include Seth Green, country music star Brad Paisley and Talk Soup's Joel McHale talking about why Battlestar Galactica is one of the best shows on television.

In the season-four premiere, the last remnants of humanity continue their search for a new home as the thin line that separates them from the rapidly evolving Cylons is redrawn.

Galactica's crew is rocked by Starbuck's (Katee Sackhoff) sudden and mysterious return from the dead, bringing claims that she has been to Earth and can lead them there. Meanwhile, four members of the fleet are still reeling from the revelation that they are Cylons.

Okay, so it is a combination of three words, but I couldn't help myself. There's no doubt Letterman is the cream of the latenight crop. When news came that Carson had been secretly passing Dave jokes for years before the former late-night great's passing, that spoke more volumes than had been previously or said of Johnny's distaste at the network for not allowing him to choose his own successor. To me, his legacy lives on through Dave. Just incredible. THANK YOU DAVID LETTERMAN! And to the powers that be, if you want your Globes to remain Golden, BSG needs to the the Return of the King treatment this final time out!

Letterman sucks
by expert40
Mar 18th, 2008
11:20:49 PM
And that's not to say that Leno is better, because he's not, he's just different.

But Letterman is overrated, so overrated. His humor is no longer ironic or satiric. He's a pale imitation of what older people tell me Letterman was in the 80's.

All of his gesticulating and Hee-Hee's are just retarded, and his banter with his castrated bandleader is boring.

At least Leno's bandleader is perpetually stoned, so he's funny in that point and laugh, "Hey, look at that stoned bass player," way.

But as far as who's funny on late night now, I'd go O'Brien and Ferguson tied (which sucks, cause they're on at the same time) and followed really closely (I almost made this a three-way tie) by Kimmel, who is hilarious and unafraid to tell the truth about his ass-kissing job.

And Caprica, yay!

...that's simply not an option for Moore / Eick / Sci Fi / NBC Universal, as they don't own the feature film rights - original series creator Glen Larson does. (Hence, 'Razor' had to air on Sci Fi before they could release it on DVD.) Oh, and as much as I love Letterman, asserting he's > Carson is just blasphemy (and Letterman'd be the first to say so).

11:57:18 AM
Seriously Herc, I challenge you to defend the Carson thing. I can see Letterman being better than Leno, although most of America (by ratings) would probably deny you that. But Carson? Carson is and always will be the gold standard for late night hosts. He brought in audience numbers Letterman can't even dream of, and was genuinely funny.
(And that, my friends, is why David Letterman > Johnny Carson.)
by jimmy rabbitte

I'm glad to see how many people are calling Herc out on that statement.

While Dave is far better than Leno has ever been; nobody will ever approach the level of Johnny Carson, in the world of late night talk shows.

by mbeemer

"I was'nt alive when Carson was on...... did i miss something?"

Johnny Carson defined the late night talk show, and his comic delivery was outstanding! He could shrug off a bombed joke and make his audience laugh at his *reaction* to their silence.

P.S. Yeah Herc, you really bit it on that one.

Let's get something fucking straight. There would probably have not been a Johnny Carson without Steve Allen. Wikipedia him if you're not busy crapping your diapers.

Carson was the King as Letterman would be the FIRST person to tell you.

Letterman was outstanding and amazing for a very long time and has earned the right to coast a little now, he's still light years ahead of that foul hack Leno.

And Conan and his ticks and mannerisms are TIRED. I like Ferguson a lot, but he is in danger of becoming locked in to the same thing over and over again like Conan.

And now, back to work.

I watched Carson and Letterman through the 80s and 90s and Letterman was consistently funnier. Is that better? In my case it is. Carson MAY have been a better interviewer, but who gives a fuck about some celebrity shilling their next piece of work.

Does that stand for Hunter S Thompson by the way? Also, I do agree that you could argue that Letterman brought the funny more often than Carson.

But Carson was a better host and that's no small thing. He made everyone around him funnier, and that made the show better.

The Galactica crew arrives at Earth way, way back in earth's past, co-habitate with the cylons and the mixture of the two races produces the humans that we are today. I could be wrong, but this was strongly, but subtly implied in a previous episode.
Letterman's show may have been funnier in the 80s
by smackfu
Mar 19th, 2008
04:51:26 PM
But Carson was generally just a cooler, fun guy to watch. He was clever as shit, the stuff that spontaneously rolled out of him was way funnier than his scripted monologues. Take the script away from Letterman, and what do you get? "Buttafucco....Buttafucco...Bu tta....foooo....co" The man literally, from month to month, and sometimes year to year...would just randomly repeat a punchline or random phrase from an earlier monologue, over, and over again whenever he had nothing clever to say. Which was often. He stopped being remotely funny about a year after he moved to CBS, now watching his show is like watching someone with tourettes or Autism, where his primary form of communication is a series of repeating tics and memes.
Does anyone still watch Letterman?

Mar 19th, 2008
