"60 Minutes" Ted Turner
No...if you were left wondering overnight whether there were any surprises in yesterday's Morley Safer profile of Ted Turner, whose memoir, "Call Me Ted," comes out this morning.
None that I could see over twelve minutes (which makes me wonder - how forthcoming is Ted in the autobio?) The group interview with his children was interesting, but still offered nothing that no longtime Turner watchers didn't know or suspect. Nevertheless...it was all well worth watching, and if you haven't already, all you have to do is click below.
Ted: The biggest question right now, a day after another "60" treatment (I think there have been at least three over the years) is, what's left to say about him? There is no more influential a television figure in the last quarter century, although as convergence has now begun to invade (and pervade) the "TV space," the boys from Google (and of course others) may soon assume that role.
