Pavlov Scope

For years, my wife and I watched Wall $treet Week on Friday evenings. Although that sounds like a laughably dry way to spend Friday nights with a loved one, for those that don’t know he was a very entertaining fellow. We looked forward to the 30 uninterrupted minutes of his wit and subtle puns on the weekly PBS show and he always put us in a good mood. Being that we often do the bills on the weekend (as I imagine millions of other Americans do too), he would make it less of a chore and more of an opportunity through his light-hearted framing of money matters.

When PBS gave him a very bitter pill to swallow, we applauded his move to CNBC and followed him over. And, we applauded CNBC for retaining that no interruption, low key format with which fans and viewers fell in love.

We mourn the loss of a straight-shooter  who was out to make sense of big economic ideas for the lamen. I, for one, will miss him.
