    While the nation continues to wrestle with illegal immigration, its major newspapers are solving the problem of "illegal immigrant." The term is widely — though not universally — considered offensive. "'Illegal' should describe only an...

  5. Hit show 'Wild Chicago' may be heading to DVD

    In January 1989, entertainer Ben Hollis and WTTW-Ch. 11 producer Jon Davies created a television show that they called "Wild Chicago." The reason they did this, said Hollis at the time, "was because there was nothing like it on TV."

  6. The 'Check, Please!' effect

    Popular WTTW-Ch. 11 restaurant show "Check, Please!" is among the most successful locally produced series in Chicago television and an oasis of public television reasonableness in an otherwise frenetic restaurant scene. The series begins its 12th season next month. In the meantime, it will be reruns up the wazoo. Once a season is finished, its episodes are replayed Friday nights (the show's traditional time slot), then again Saturday and Sunday afternoons. It's rerun often, said V.J. McAleer, WTTW's vice president of production, for the obvious reason that it is among the highest-rated shows on WTTW, occasionally <em>the</em> highest rated, with 150,000 weekly viewers. Somehow, though, if you have a DVR set for "Check, Please!" three airings a week seems wrong.

  7. Crafting gun laws without the likes of …

    "This is a serious time," said the fundamentally unserious former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh during an interview on WTTW-Ch. 11's "Chicago Tonight" program last week. "My side &mdash; the side that believes in freedom and limited government; the Republican Party &mdash; doesn't sufficiently see that we're at war. Thomas Jefferson ... not that long ago ... said that the tree of liberty may need to be fertilized with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

  8. This side of 'Paradise,' with Echols, Davis

    "I really do believe these people would have gotten away with murdering me if it would not have been for what you guys did &mdash; for being there in the beginning and getting this whole thing on tape so the rest of the world sees what's happening." That's Damien Echols, talking to filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky a couple of years ago when they visited him in prison for the most recent installment of "Paradise Lost," their HBO documentary series about the West Memphis Three that aired last year.
