Last night, I recorded Blog Wars on the Sundance Channel. Tonight, I am recording 20/20 because Jeff Jarvis says he was interviewed for two-and-a-half-hours for it, so I figure he’ll be on for at least 30 or so seconds.
Update: A shout-out to Jeff Jarvis, who actually had lots of air time and did a great job, however, about 90 minutes into the show, real-news broke in with the announcement of Saddam Hussein being executed. That is not a small TV story — unless, that is, the government decides to post video of the execution on YouTube.
Sidenote: ABC should immediately post the unaired portions 20/20 episode on their website and on YouTube. Indeed, it would be ironic if they don’t.

[...] About 40 minutes of the two-hour 20/20 special on small TV was preempted last night by the Saddam execution. Oh, well. But as Rex Hammock suggests, ABC should put the show — especially the preempted parts — up online. Better yet, for this show of all shows, they should take each segment and put it up on YouTube: turn the big TV about small tv into small tv. [...]
