The only problem was ... there are some continuity issues that weren't really clear because the episode was skipped. (Like why Betty took back her cheating boyfriend and what her father's medical problems are.)

And the way that new scene was slapped on the show to make it look like it was a flashback was embarrassingly amateurish.

HE'S BEEN ON TV for thousands and thousands of hours, but what does Larry King watch when he sits down in front of the TV?

"I'm a sports nut. ... I watch sports in the main," King said before quickly adding, "I watch CNN a lot. I do. I watch CNN a lot.

"I watch 'Boston Legal,' which is my favorite show on television other than what we do on CNN and other than sporting events."

Hmmmmm. ... "Boston Legal" is the ABC show that viciously lampoons CNN's Nancy Grace, isn't it? Probably just a coincidence.
