Marc Levy @mhlevy.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I've been watching "E.R.," which I mostly missed when it was on broadcast television. I'm midseries at "A Walk in the Woods," Season 7, Episode 14, and let me tell you, when this aired Feb. 15, 2001, measles was a shocking diagnosis. Twenty-five years ago, It may as well have been ebola. 030
Marc Levy @mhlevy.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Sounds like a barn burner. What's the topic? National relevance? 030
Marc Levy @mhlevy.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Shrugging off a 52-year-old TV news show topping itself with 5 percent growth is a thing, I guess. But if Weiss changes "60 Minutes" and it loses viewers when it's still scheduled after football, what will the narrative be then? Anyway, this was a peculiar story. 11/11 051
Marc Levy @mhlevy.bsky.social · 20/08/2026The article also questions whether it's meaningful that this 52-year top-rated news program has viewership "up 9 percent from the prior year" to 9.1 million people, since its lead-in is football. Maybe last season's growth is only an adjusted 5 percent, Klein says. 10/11 121
Marc Levy @mhlevy.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It's also funny that one of Bilton's hype modern new-generation brainstorms to refresh that tired old "60 Minutes" despite its aging viewership is to "bring back Andy Rooney-style closing commentaries," maybe with Stephen A. Smith (age 58) and John McEnroe (age 67). 9/11 131
Marc Levy @mhlevy.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Bilton is also "building an Al platform to better organize legitimate story ideas." I'm super curious how that word "legitimate" made its way into this sentence and what it's doing there. 8/11 151
Marc Levy @mhlevy.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Which is why Bilton is "building his own investigations unit" within a show already known for its investigations. Okay. 7/11 131
