I’m guessing Disney must own The Sound of Music. So far, about half of Good Morning America has been devoted to “the 40th anniversary” of it. They had Julie Andrews and all of the kids reunited and they sang a song together. The outside Times Square audience is packed full of people in costume. I can’t imagine any network giving this kind of promotion time to something they don’t own.
Man, morning TV is kind of strange. I normally get maybe 10-15 minutes of The Today Show in the morning. I just watched a brief segment with an 11 year old girl who paints kind of odd, tacky paintings, but with really marvelous skill, who writes poetry, plays a couple of instruments and speaks 4 languages. And now I’m watching an interview with Ellen Pompeo who is the title character in Grey’s Anatomy. They’re bringing her chocolate cake at 8:30 in the morning because yesterday was her birthday. All so odd.
