Barry on the CBS Evening News… Finally

10.31.05


Yes, it actually happened!

Just when I thought my segment's final resting place was the bottom of the trash heap, the CBS Evening News finally aired the story in which I'm featured.

As I previously reported, I was interviewed a few weeks back about my thoughts on the new planet, whether Pluto should still be considered a planet, and what a planet is. Then I was rescheduled, and rescheduled again… until it became doubtful that rescheduling would ever amount to a slot on a real schedule.

Don't worry if you missed my appearance—I missed it too! Luckily, the segment is available for online viewing, so you needn't remain deprived of your Barry.

I must warn you, though, that my contribution to the televisual knowledge-stream, at least in this segment, is minimal at best. Blink and you'll miss me.

If I've (re-)learned one thing here, it's to never lose the faith. After all, don't we all know that TV just can't live without astrobarry?
