I'll be watching the Bears game and after that the Entourage marathon. I can't stand Carson Daily, Ryan Seacrest, and watching Dick Clark at this point is painful.

That "Cat" chick on FOX is sooo annoying.

Well, you gotta love ABC, they showed the entire thing in HD, and they let a few raunchy lyrics slip by the censor. And they didn't go over kill with the quick A.D.D cutting style. It was also nice to see female pop singers who can actually sing and carry a tune, and not lip synch it or just sing along to a background track.
Also, who was the female singer that sang with Meat Loaf for the second song he did.(or I think that was him, somewhat overweight guy with a high pitch voice?)

Watched Dick Clark for the first time in years. Looked and sounded like a corpse with a microphone. Not a pretty sight. Ryan Seacrest gets on my nerves but he was surprisingly reserved...making him *gasp* tolerable. No doubt, vying for the New Years gig full time once Dick checks out.

Saw a little bit of Dick and thought he sounded essentially the same as last year. I think if Dick were 20 years younger, he would stand a better chance of regaining his speech.

Oh god, they have to stop rolling Dick Clark out. He will always be the best but it's time.
I remember last year he was off while counting down, and a similar thing happened this year. It's just sad to see him struggling.

I realize Dick Clark may feel like he has something to prove with the stroke and all; but after hearing him last night, after not having heard him for years, I felt really bad for him. I mean this guy had a very long extremely successful career so he has nothing to prove.
It's too bad no one around him will tell him that it's ok to take it easy at this point in his life.

Very, very sad and embarrassing. It's New Years Eve, for crying out loud. Depressing your viewers should not be on the schedule. Why not throw in some "Save the Children" ads and photos of gaunt and dying Africans while you're at it?
