Yes, it is. I just tested it again myself on a different browser. You may have to create a free NYT account to read, but you don't need a subscription.

The NBA is no NFL... I think it's worth a shot, especially given the increasing percentage of the audience that comes from streaming.
Interesting: ABC will air the first episode of Hulu's new Alex Cooper-produced dating show LOVE OVERBOARD on Sunday, March 22 at 10 p.m.-- right after the season premiere of THE BACHELORETTE. The full nine-episode season then premieres on Hulu Thursday, March 26th
I'm on Jeopardy!
Another unexpected opportunity 2026 threw my way: I got the call to be on Jeopardy! Tune in next Thursday, March 19 (or March 20 on Hulu or Peacock), to watch me on the Alex Trebek Stage!

This is when it all went wrong for America.

No 1994 fall preview would be complete without some input from the critics, including BlueSky’s own @jeffjarvis.bsky.social, in his past life as TV Guide’s reviewer. His pick for best of the season: MY SO-CALLED LIFE
Amy Madigan turns 44…in 1994

ET’s Faces to Watch on TV didn’t include any of the stars of Friends or ER, but they did predict big things for this young woman.
Here’s a time capsule: Entertainment Tonight’s fall preview 1994, when FRIENDS was called a Seinfeld copycat and a star of WILD OATS was introduced as. “Paul Stephen Rudd.” Plus pint-sized Lacey Chabert, baby-faced Steve Harvey and Ellen D, and the ER docs do a photo shoot. youtu.be/mBYhIjLccHc?...
No, I would not. (Seriously, why do the Penske sites all have to be so…spammy? Can I just pay a small fee to have a normal reading experience? They’ve got great journalists who deserve better.)
What’s great about this intro is, the hosts basically mock the film and call it the pinnacle of his career. Gotta love MN, the one state that never gave Reagan its electoral votes.
It’s January 16, 1981, and Ronald Reagan is four days away from being sworn in as president. So Channel 5 in Minneapolis has decided to honor him by airing…BEDTIME FOR BONZO as its late night movie. Enjoy the telecast as it aired, complete with live ads and intros: youtu.be/30P7Ij0jkI4?...

Tonight’s SHRINKING was so, so good (including the guest turns by not one, but two comedy icons)

A comment on this video calls it "state-run media," and to be honest, hard to disagree. This is how Sinclair is telling to the story of the war via its widely-distributed National Desk team: "Trump DESTROYS Iranian Ships." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kZr...
JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.
This sadly seems lost to time, but could I interest y'all in HBO's "Dolly Parton Meets the Kids"? www.youtube.com/watch?v=S72R...
apparently, it's completely lost to time! But yes, amazing/scary

The HBO and Showtime Guides were so amazing. Obviously much smaller and less entertaining than TV Guide, but it was so exciting to see what big movies and specials would be on TV.

But it was a poolside TV! LOL
That's because they kept trying different theatrical versions of it, even after that pay cable debut. October 3 1980 was the wide theatrical release under the title THE GREAT SANTINI.
What’s interesting, too, is how short the window was between theaters and HBO. I think it was usually close to a year, or at least 10 months back then. This was more like 7 or 8…
