Time Out On KRON; Ishimaru/KGO Reality Bite; Greg Papa Never Looks at Kelli Johnson on 'Happy Hour'; Ray Ratto and Dave Feldman are Utterly Boring; Hey, I Met The One Guy Who Listens To The 'Shower Hour'; Butcher Boy More Compelling Than AM Morning 'Dudes' on Knibber; Ronn Owens' 'Sloppy Seconds'; Friday 415 Media Deli

  TIME OUT on KRON --let's wait until the real dust settles --eventually it will--and then make a rational thought as to its future. We know its a lot more valued even if its content is a cross between melba toast and a year-old can of tuna fish.

*I'm not a lawyer; I know about the Disney history of success in bottling up little inconveniences like Heather Ishimaru-type issues but I'll bet anyone a turkey sandwich at Grumpy's that the KGO reporter will receive justice in some form or another; financially and otherwise; not that any of that matters in a woman who is still suffering mightily these days. How the creature at 900 Front can still be employed is either proof positive she has something on the company or her lack of people skills is quietly applauded by her boss. By the way, he too has no clue as to how to run a TV station. Good grief. This is what we're reduced to.

*Hey Trixie: seriously, you detested by, I'd say, 90% of the circle7 staff; that's a raw estimate. Your supporters consist of a few interns, the janitor and the bar at Grumpy's.

*Oh, Trix? Wayne Freedman doesn't count. He was on, off, on and now, who the hell knows. Wait a minute. Who cares.

*Greg Papa doesn't ever really look at Kelli Johnson on the Comcast dog-dodo known as "The Happy Hour."  If you can stomach it, watch. Papa also routinely talks over Johnson, not that she ever says anything worth hearing mind you but it doesn't look good on a show that doesn't look good but Pop's misogyny is glaring and ugly.

*Hey Comcast NBC this -whatever-the-hell your name is today, could you have spent more than the ten bucks it cost for that stupidly short fakacta thing you call a bar. If you were smart, you could have called KRON and picked up one of their furniture trade-outs gratis.

*"The Happy Hour?" Really now. Yeah, the happy hour at the Marriott Salt Lake City would be more like it.



Fareed and Feldy

*Enough about Ray Ratto's weight. It's a non-issue. I'm a little zaftig too. Let me give you the shit on Ray; he's simply not interesting anymore. He acts as if he's got an eternal stick up his ass and he doesn't say anything --he lectures. It's painful and pedantic, tedious really. He and Papa should lighten up and quit pretending they're God's gift to the world. Nobody would watch this crap if it weren't lapped together with the Warriors and Giants --that's a fact.

*It could be worse: you could picked up by kidnappers and forced to watch "Feldy and Fareed."

*Dave Feldman: couldn't cut it in the men's shoe department at Ross so Comcast is a natural hire. Feldman is about as genuine as a Fremont Arby's.

*Let's put it this way: Feldman makes Damon Bruce look like Dick Schaap.

*DO THIS KNBR (but they won't) Hire the guy that calls in from the city known as "Butcher Boy" who rants hysterically and funny about the Giants and is one entertaining caller. He has pretty good shtick and he makes YOU LAUGH. You DO NOT LAUGH at the miscreants on the "Morning Show" who has a guy with a fake Jersey accent who thinks people get a kick out of his moronic song parodies. He's a no-talent fraud that sucked enough Tony Salvatore that he got a gig with the Marin-UCLA asshole who couldn't spin an interesting tale if his life depended on it. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Go shine Larry Baer's hush puppies, dude!



Greg Papa

*Greg Papa 2: Greg, you're big here and relatively worthy but your arrogance isn't sitting well with the public and internal staff at Comcast. Get off your high horse, Pop, and pretend you're auditioning for an infomercial at KRON.

*Hey, I was talking to some waspy truck driver outside a Hayward mini-mart; the guy had sideburns and a motorcycle tattoo on his neck no less: Hey, I just found the one guy that listens to "The Shower Hour!" --Dude!

*Yeah, I got your mail and everything is OK now: George Noory's "Coast-to-Coast" debuts this Monday (1-5 AM Tuesday, technically) on KGO Radio --Noory got the schedule wrong but it's corrected now and Big Foot is happy.

*KTVU's extended "10 O'clock News" debuts Monday from 10 to 11: 30 --just in time for Sweeps and sending chills up  the spine of KPIX and KNTV.

*Then again the new News Director (who used to be the assistant ND) has a shitload of more work with less staff which always works well, right? Uh, sure.

*The Chinese doctor that was dragged down the aisle of the United plane --I knew it would be radio talk-show orgasm central but at KGO since they don't know how to talk about REAL news, the United fiasco was a savior for idiots like Chip Franklin and Ronn Owens who MILKED it to death--SOP for both.

*Chip was so consumed with the United deal he accidently used his MyPillow pillow as a whoopee cushion.


*That MyPillow owner has more baggage than the Southwest terminal at SFO.



Dr. Tara Fields

*Ronn Owens' sloppy seconds: Dr. Tara Fields.

*I'm not an angry man. I just don't have patience. And all of you drive me nuts minus the few who actually know what I'm talking about and why I'm so gosh-darn bitter.

But deep down in the bitterness lays a man deep and sensitive; full of love and sanguine symmetry --another words I could be a future foodie chap and coach anyone of Ryan Scott's bitches.

*Hey, I'm having Korean food on Saturday night just in time for ...

No, please now.

*Mike Nicco: more cologne.

*Mickey Luckoff and Jim Gabbert: El Cheapo Guapo meets El Cheapo Dog-O.
