You may have read his posts here as Cranky Media Guy, but in real life he's also known as Bob Pagani, and he's going to be on TV in a few days. Here's the info, straight from the horse's mouth:
I just got information about when the TV show I taped back in November in L.A. will air. The show is Lie Detector and it will air on March 8th at 9 PM on the Pax network.
They put me through a lie detector test (as the show's name implies) and you'll see my reaction as I'm told the results of the test on the air. I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement so I can't tell you how the test comes out; you'll just have to watch to see, I guess.
It wasn't the first episode they taped but it's going to be the first one aired for this series. That's usually a sign that the producers think that it's a good show; they want to air one they think is strong first so that viewers will come back next week.
Congratulations, Bob. Unfortunately I don't seem to get Pax TV on my cable network here in San Diego. So you'll have to let me know what happened with the lie detector test after the show airs.

As for the Lie Detector thing, yeah, it's a reality show. I'm told I'm sharing the episode with Paula Jones. I guess that makes it two of us who got screwed during the Clinton administration. (You'll have to watch the show to see what I'm referring to in regards to myself.)
"Uh, no, even according to Paula C. Jones's own story, she notably DIDN'T get screwed during the Clinton administration."
Oh sure, ruin a perfectly good jokes with your damn FACTS! Actually, of course, you're right; she did claim that she never had sex with Clinton despite his (according to her) repeated hitting on her. Grrrr. I'm still mad that you ruined my joke.
"Oh, I want to get Pax now! If it was a week later I'd be home for Spring Break and could watch it then."
Oh, I can't imagine that they won't re-run the thing. I mean, it IS PAX, after all. It's not like they have something else wonderful on that they're reluctant to pre-empt.
"Who is this luchador hooked up to a lie detector and why is he preempting my Touched by an Angel?!"
Funny! That actually IS a lucha libre mask (as you probably realize).
I'm sincerely sorry if I'm cutting into your Recommended Daily Dose of Della Reese.
Well, at least now the world knows I wasn't lying when I said that Bill Clinton exposed himself to me. Wait, wrong story! OK, so I made a few bucks selling my kidney. Ooops, wrong again. Well, you get the idea.
Seriously, that was one of my more pleasant TV experiences. Rolonda Watts is a little "show bizzy" but she's very pleasant to talk to. The crew wasn't a bunch of jerks, which is nice (and somewhat unusual.)
There's a chance that, if this thing goes to series, they may fly me back to L.A. later this year for a "reunion" show. Maybe by then I'll have that Federal pardon (although I'm not holding my breath waiting for that to happen.)
By the way, I had no idea they were going to send a copy of the tape to the White House; I found that out as I watched the show tonight. Hey, who knows? Maybe I'll get an apology from Bill Clinton and my kidney back. D'oh!
P.S. In case you didn't see the show, I passed the lie detector test confirming my story that I didn't knowingly take stolen property across state lines (specifically, a bust of Mickey Mantle missing from Yankee Stadium).
I don't really get nervous when doing TV. Hell, I used to be a professional wrestling manager and I would have to do "promos" off the top of my head at times. Once you've mastered THAT, you can do pretty much anything on camera, I think.
Please thank your husband for me. It's nice to know that some people related to my story and were pulling for me.
