Eye on L.A. - The LA Times rewards us with a rich history on the classic local television program designed around ratings stunts, Eye on LA. A precursor to Hard Copy and its ilk, Eye on LA was the non-thinking man's Evening Magazine (or PM Magazine depending upon your local market designation). And, in the second Simpsons reference from me in as many days, Eye on LA was the inspiration for the hilarious Kent Brockman knockoff, Eye on Springfield.
