Dear Chicago: Please Identify This Bromonster And Shame Him Mercilessly
Let Us Make An Example Of Him
News organizations who send reporters to do stand-ups at bars or other locations where fans drunken or not are celebrating a sports victory tend to get what they deserve, which is ridiculous nonsense that is in no way news. But that doesn’t exonerate douchebaggery, no matter how enabled it is. So let’s identify the dude with the tongue and submit him to all form of interrogation in the public square. Perhaps if we learn more, we can stomp out his kind and make the world just a little bit of a better place.

Intervention Goes Where Time Magazine Fears To Tread
By Steve Rhodes
The final season of Intervention opened on Thursday night with a typically gripping and difficult tale straight out of the West Side of Chicago.
“Jessica is smart as tack with a lust for life. Unfortunately, it’s the life of a heroin addict, living in an abandoned building, being shot up by a boyfriend, that she is committed to. Having spent her youth yearning for an absent, alcoholic father, Jessica followed the footprint of addiction left to her by her father, and now her own children are at risk of loosing their mother.”
You can only catch glimpses in this preview, but Chicago gets something of a close-up in this episode. Future airings are guaranteed, but not yet scheduled.

Local TV Notes: Hollywood Plants Its Flag
Plus: Blackhawks vs. Dateline; Ralph Covert vs. Time
1. This Guitar Kills Time.
“Chicago musician Ralph Covert is into puppets,” Chloe Riley writes for DNAinfo Chicago. “Especially ones down with time travel.
“You find yourself talking to the puppets. I’m putting my arms around them and I’m like, ‘They are my friends,'” said the Grammy-nominated musician.
“Covert, the leader of the kids-music group Ralph’s World, recently shot a TV pilot with some animal puppets for what he hopes will become his first television series, Time Machine Guitar, in which he travels back in time, meets historical figures and rocks his socks off. He calls it a ‘rock ‘n’ roll Mister Roger’s Neighborhood.’
“And if PBS picks up the pilot – which aired last weekend on WTTW Channel 11 – the show could begin shooting as early as fall.”
