Peter Carlin…once more…with feeling.

As you may or may not be aware, last Sunday’s installment of Outlook Portland suffered what we’ve charitably classified as “a bit of a glitch”. As a result, last Sunday’s episode will air this weekend, after which, we will all go on with our lives and pretend that this little debacle never took place. Agreed? Excellent.

Here’s the blurb for this weekend’s exciting program:
If you haven’t already done so, take a moment and set your TiVo/DVR to record this Sunday’s episode of Outlook Portland (Sunday at 6:30am, only on NW32 TV).

My guest will be none other than The Oregonian’s Peter Carlin, whose new book, Paul McCartney: A Life, arrived in stores Tuesday, November 3. (In addition to his writings for The Oregonian, People Magazine, and other fine publications, Peter is known to music fans everywhere as the author of Catch a Wave: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson.)

I’ll be talking with Peter about music, journalism, and how a freshfaced young lad such as himself came to be the author of some of rock’s most definitive biographies.

So, if you’re needing your Rick Emerson fix, a fan of Peter Carlin/Paul McCartney, or you’re just drunk on a Sunday morning, fixing your umpteenth Bloody Mary and wondering what the hell is on TV…there’s one show that fits all your needs: Outlook Portland, Sunday at 6:30am, only on NW32 TV…the home of Gossip Girl, Melrose, and Rick Emerson!

Our bad.

NW32 aired a repeat instead of the Peter Carlin interview. Please check back for the airdate of Peter’s episode and we sincerely apologize for the error.

Happy Halloween.

Halloween is my favorite holiday…so naturally I would get the flu right? Here are a few Halloween links just in case you are stuck indoors too.

Thank you Portland!

So I’m sure you’ve all heard by now that our host, Rick Emerson, can no longer be heard mornings on KUFO. That’s the (very)bad news, the (very very)good news is you can still find Rick, every Sunday at 6:30am, on an all new Outlook Portland.

We will keep working hard to highlight all the reasons we love Portland and the people who live here. We ask that you please continue to spread the word and should you find a KUFO advertiser wandering around, send them our way. You will find the contact number for the sales department at the top of the page.

Thank you for watching, for your continued support and for being the best viewers EVER.

All new episode of Outlook Portland this Sunday.

Jobs, and stability, and quirky, underappreciated sitcoms about alcoholic, Californian families may come and go, but some things are eternal…and by “some things”, I mean, of course, zombies.

Be sure to join me for this Sunday’s installment of Outlook Portland: Sunday at 6:30am, only on NW32 TV.

My guests will be John Monteverde and Tim Dudley of Portland’s Blue Monkey Theater Group. This year, they return to the stage with one of the most original productions I’ve ever seen: a live-action, black-and-white performance of George Romero’s classic, Night of the Living Dead. That’s right: a black-and-white stage play of the iconic, 1968 masterwork.

How can a stage play be black and white? You’ll understand once you’ve seen their production…and once you’ve seen them talk about it on Outlook Portland.

So… join me Sunday morning on NW 32 TV, as another exciting episode of Outlook Portland graces the airwaves of our fair city. (And try to overlook the awkward moment at the end of the program wherein I encourage you to “listen to me mornings five ’til nine on Rock 101 KUFO.”)

Do make a note to catch it — you won’t regret it. Outlook Portland: Sunday at 6:30am, only on NW32 TV.

Dawn Taylor + Mike Russell = Ensuing Hilarity.

This week on Outlook Portland (Sunday at 6:30am, only on NW32 TV):

You are undoubtedly familiar with Dawn Taylor; she’s a longtime friend of the Rick Emerson Show, and is, truly, one of the funniest people on God’s green earth. She’s written for such publications as The Portland Tribune and The DVD Journal, and can currently be read at Cinematical.com and Movies.com.

Mike Russell is a writer, film critic, essayist, cartoonist, renaissance man, and scarily-smart collector/user of intimidatingly-large words. His writing appears in The Oregonian, as well as online at CulturePulp.com.

This weekend, Dawn and Mike are my guests on Outlook Portland. They’ll discuss writing, writers, the evolution of journalism, and the myriad pros and cons of being a professional film critic. They’ll also fight a near-constant battle to retain their composure in the face of ever escalating dorkdom — most notably when Mike Russell lists off a series of minor Star Wars characters…all of whom have names that sound like gastrointestinal ailments.

Do make a note to catch it — you won’t regret it. Outlook Portland: Sunday at 6:30am, only on NW32 TV.

Dove Lewis Animal Hospital

Owning a pet can be a rewarding experience, it can also be terrifying when you realize they just ate a Christmas ornament, a ballpoint pen or some other odd object not meant to be ingested. I’m not saying that this scenario applies to anyone’s dog in particular(ok it was Rick’s). When an emergency happens, there is relief in knowing that Dove Lewis Animal Hospital exists.  Learn about the history of Dove Lewis, the emergency services they provide and hear the cutest baby duck story ever. Watch it all this Sunday, 6:30am on NW32 TV…home of Vampire Diaries…I admit I watch it…at least their Vampires don’t sparkle.

So wrong.

Since this week’s show is all about animals and we are getting closer to Halloween, I thought I would share this post from SciFi Wire on “20 Great Costumes to Dress Up Your Pet”.  I’m not too sure about the great part.
