Has anyone been watching William Shatner's talk show Raw Nerve? I swore to myself that I would watch it when it premiered, but it's on The Biography Channel, and sometimes when we're talking about those channels that get up to 105 or 144 or 170 on your cable system, you forget that the show is on. Heck, I'm not even sure I even get The Biography Channel on my cable system since they started taking away and adding channels in my package last year. But if I do have it I'm going to check out tomorrow's episode for sure.On the January 6 episode, Shatner is going to interview good friend and Star Trek buddy Leonard Nimoy.
I'm sure they'll talk about their early acting days and their days working together on the TV show and the Trek movies. Though I wonder if they'll talk about the new JJ Abrams' big screen Star Trek movie. As you may know, Nimoy is in it but Shatner isn't, for reasons that get more convoluted every month (did Abrams ask him? Did Shatner hold out for more money? Was there a communication problem somewhere along the line?). That would be interesting. The episode airs at 10pm ET.
The other celebrities that Shatner has interviewed so far aren't too shabby either: Jimmy Kimmel, Tim Allen, Judge Judy, Valerie Bertinelli, Kelsey Grammar. Some of the interviews can be seen at the link above.

I never heard of this show but it sounds interesting. It's amazing how Shatner just keeps going and I am sure the Loenard Nimoy interview will be a good one. The are respondsible for one of my favorite tv series and some pretty good movies as well. http://thetvseriesdvd.com

C'mon Bob, you are a blogger for a TV website and you don't get every single channel available? If Fios is available in your area get it at once.

About a month ago he had Jenna Jameson the porn star on. It was very interesting to say the least

I've seen him interview Kelsey Grammar, Tim Allen and Jimmy Kimmell, and each time he pulls something from the interviewee that is new and interesting to me.
Plus, it's freakin' Shatner, man! He's awesome!
