An entertainment column by Scott Eyman in The Miami News discussing television movie reviewers. The column identifies Henry Tenenbaum as the "former host of P.M. Magazine" and notes that his movie reviews are syndicated out of Washington to viewers in other markets (such as Tennessee). Eyman's tone is highly critical, comparing Henry to Gene Shalit in a disparaging manner.
| Fact | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Role | Syndicated television movie reviewer |
| Base of Operations | Washington D.C. |
| Prior Role Acknowledged | "former host of P.M. Magazine" |
| Syndication Reach | Reaching viewers in Tennessee and Miami |
"Henry Tenenbaum, former host of P.M. Magazine... syndicated out of Washington to Tennessee viewers at least as much as local movie reviewers."
Mentions he has an "aspiring-to-the-throne-of-Gene-Shalit sort of itself a ghastly threat to the gene pool."
Despite the critical tone of the columnist, this document is historically valuable because it confirms the national syndication of Henry's movie reviews from Washington. It demonstrates that his work was being broadcast in markets as diverse as Tennessee and Miami, and that out-of-market critics recognized his background as the former host of PM Magazine.
