Visibility is viability, and wouldn't it be great to have Meet the Press, the most prestigious and hard hitting show on the Sunday circuit, feature a woman host?

Danica Patrick has revived a debate as old as Sonia Henie skating figure eights at the 1926 Olympics: Does sex sell -- or perhaps more aptly phrased, does sexism sell -- women's sports?

Call Sea World: Sex and the City has jumped the shark. Since the HBO series exited with tears and orgasms in 2004, we've all moved on even if Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte haven't.
