ABC Folds

It actually happened.

ABC and Disney caved - not to Trump, but to public pressure.  After people started canceling subscriptions to Disney+ and Disney-owned Hulu or stopped watching the network's programs, the alphabet network allowed Jimmy Kimmel to return to work as the host of its late-night talk show.  He returns tomorrow night.

So the people do have the power, after all.

This is a great victory for Kimmel, his fans, and free speech in general, but it's a personal loss for me - I already deleted recorded but unwatched first-season episodes of Tim Allen's sitcom "Shifting Gears," and now if I tune into his show at the start of the second season, I won't know what's going on unless I seek out the first-season episodes I haven't seen - i.e., most of them - and pay to binge-watch them.  Ahh, I was never a fan of Kat Dennings anyway.
