We decided to usher in 2006 in a low-key style, catching up on recorded TV and taking it easy. Even so, we avoided pretty much all of the New Year's Eve specials, save for two or three minutes to see the ball drop. This was long enough for me to make two comments:
1. Stuart Scott got in that final pointless comment of 2005 when he asked that viewers make a New Year's resolution not to boo athletes because they do things we can't do.
So please, people, don't boo the millionaires.
2. I didn't get to see much of Dick Clark on ABC, but I did get to hear him. As you'd expect from someone who'd had a stroke, his speech was slurred. But from the short bit I caught he was intelligible, and will hopefully make further progress in the new year. Signing Ryan Seacrest to co-host (and eventually take over) seems about right.
