If only we had a Slingbox, from the pool in Florida we could instruct our TiVo back home in New York to record Friday's brand new episode of Dateline's "To Catch a Predator." But alas, we'll have to catch it during what we expect to be one of dozens of repeats. The show – which was put on indefinite hold after 56-year-old Texas prosecutor Louis "Bill" Conradt killed himself while Dateline's cameras rolled outside his home, and then snagged NBC a $100 million wrongful death lawsuit – remains a major draw for young viewers, which keeps them ad dollars rolling in. So despite continuing allegations of journalistic wrongdoings and constant battering from the press, the sordid lives of Dateline-watching child predators will commence.

There is a Santa.
