Taking Aim At Manhunt

The 1865 assassination of Abraham Lincoln was not a moment most Americans feel great about, but…did it merit a whole series treatment?

Your latest Ask EHG queries have us pondering shows that need characters on roller skates, and the David Duchovny roles that would have been better played by TV robots. Then, after naming the week’s Not Quite Winners And Losers, it’s on to an Extra Credit that takes the concept Deal Or No Deal Island pioneers and applies it to all kinds of other shows. Settle into a comfortable seat — whether it’s at Ford’s Theatre is up to you — and listen!
