9:00 - 10:00PM

Frontline - “Hot Politics”. Speaking of global warming, that’s what this episode of the public affairs series, Frontline, is all about. Seems as though there may be a bi-partisan effort to try and prevent the government from confronting the issue.   

10:00 - 12:00AM

Independent Lens - “Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room”. The Academy Award-nominated film is now on Independent Lens. It takes a look at how executives at the seventh-largest U.S. company rob, stole, and cheated their employees and the rest of the nation. Gordon Gecko would be so proud.

Secrets of the Dead - “Battle for the Bible”. Awesome. Again, I use the word: awesome. This episode looks at the “faith, flames, and martyrdom that led to the Bible’s translation into English.” And, in my opinion, as long as there is blood and flames that makes for a pretty good show.

9:00 - 10:30PM

Bill Moyers Journal - “Buying the War”. You know what it cost him? $1.50. No joke, Bill Moyers bought the war in Iraq for $1.50. They initially wanted $2.50, but much like Sam Malone getting the bar back from the corporation for helping put Robin Colcord behind bars, he low-balled them. Sammy’s got the bar back!

10:30 - 11:00PM

Rosevelt’s America. This is apparently a “cinéma vérité” piece profiling a Liberian refugee in America. For those of you reading quickly, it’s Rosevelt, not Roosevelt. Rosevelt, not Roosevelt. Rosevelt. Got it?

The This Old House Hour - Episode TBA. It’s This Old House and Ask This Old House. It’s like maintenance… for your home. Wait, no, that’s exactly what it is. That doesn’t mean it’s not awesome though.

9:00 - 10:00PM

Antiques Roadshow - Big Love is coming back though, and I really enjoy that show, so go Antiques Roadshow!

10:00 - 11:00PM

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Buffalo. Apparently Wright had a 30-year relationship with Buffalo. Then Buffalo went out and cheated on him with another architect. It sent Wright into a downhill spiral of drinking and drugs only to be fixed in the third act, when Schenectady decided to go on a mercy date with the architect. Needless to say, Wright wasn’t with Schenectady for long before Hohokus came a-calling.
