Just realised that I've heard nothing about this year's telethon. Jerry Lewis is still doing it, right?

9pm

I haven't seen it since i was a kid. At the time, it seemed like it was on every channel.

Had less channels then and that was the prime channel for cartoons and re-runs of Diffrent Strokes and shows like that

Now it doesn't even register on my radar

There was an article in the local paper yesterday. Someone said Jerry is asking $20K per interview. The article interviewed the show's producer.

It really isn't the community event that it used to be. When I was a kid we went door to door collecting money for Jerry's kids, my kids don't have any idea that the telethon exists.

I ran into a producer from the local TV station that carries it in our area, he said they don't even deal with it anymore, they just farm it out to a local freelance prodcution company.

Used to be every local and state politician wanted to be on this show, now I doubt if they'll get the mayor out there.

Yeah, it used to be a huge deal! Plus it was rare for TV to go on all night back in the dark ages.

There had been some rather big advances in MDA research, but as was pointed out earlier, with 100+ other channels on TV, it's nowhere near the big event it was when I was growing up.

Will you guys be watching the telethon on Sunday/Monday? Something compels me to keep checking in every year to The Jerry Lewis Telethon and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve ... a curiosity that becomes a little more morbid each time around, sadly.

It ended badly though. :twisted:

Haven't watched in years. I always mean to, but by the time I remember to tune in, it's usually Monday evening when it's over.

I still remember coming home from the beach on a particularly warm Labor Day in 1972, just in time to catch John Lennon's impromptu appearance. That's when it was a NYC-only event. John's performance has been perserved for the ages on the Lennon Anthology box set.

Something struck me as odd this morning. The PARADE suppliment that runs in newspapers across the country has for as long as I can remember, run a picture of Jerry (or Jann Carl, or Bergeron) and that year's poster child on the Labor Day weekend issue, along with a nice article. This year, it wasn't there....no picture, no article. This morning I was greeted by Jay Leno and his chin.
