Chat With Larry King, Susan 'Cindy Brady' Olsen

Also Monday: Lil' Bow Wow, Richard North Patterson, Filter

Larry KingThe election so nice they staged it twice. Thrice, even. Held over by popular demand! Bravo, bravo, more, more! Never in all my years of following politics (it's up to two now) have I seen anything as nutty as this past presidential election. And as is the trend nowadays, the news reporters are itching to make their own role in it all a story in itself. To that end, Larry King will be online to talk about the media's role in the election on cnn.com at 1 p.m. EST, 12 noon MST, 10 a.m. MST, 9 a.m. PST.

Everybody needs a David Cassidy in their lives, even rap fans. Lil' Bow Wow is the cute-as-beans lil' 13-year-old whose "Bounce With Me" and surprisingly good rhyming skills are tearing up the charts. The Snoop Dogg prodigy will be chatting today on bet.com at 5 p.m. EST, 4 p.m. CST, 3 p.m. MST, 2 p.m. PST.

If you're like me, you're really, really, hungry. I think I'm going to go get a sandwich. Mmm, that was a good sandwich. So anyway, if you're like me, you're hoping to see a live Webcast of a Filter concert. The underground rockers broke into the big time with "Hey Man, Nice Shot" and their album, "Short Bus," in 1995. And they'll be performing on the Web today, lucky for us, on hob.com in a 24-hour Webcast beginning at 3 p.m. EST, 2 p.m. CST, 1 p.m. MST, 12 noon PST.

Espionage And Crime Fiction (a.k.a. Man Lit) is a separate subsection at the big bookstores, and Richard North Patterson is the Toni Morrison of this testosteronal writing genre. His latest, , is the story of an assistant county prosecutor trapped in a web of murder and intrigue. Patterson will be chatting on usatoday.com at 2 p.m. EST, 1 p.m. CST, 12 noon MST, 11 a.m. PST.

Susan OlsenLet's set aside the camp appeal and the nostalgia appeal of "The Brady Bunch" and look at it objectively. It really isn't any good, is it? What does it have over, say, "Full House"? Oh well, I guess that in some sense, 50 million fans can't be wrong. Susan Olsen's main claim to fame is playing the youngest, Cindy, on the show, and she'll be chatting about her recent documentary production, "The Brady Home Movies," on yahoo.com at 7 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. CST, 5 p.m. MST, 4 p.m. PST.
