PBS Primetime Programming for The Week of August 19
Published August 17, 2007
I believe that last week I promised to tell you what it meant that we were now in the middle of August, didn't I? See, my short-term memory is just fine. I have no idea whatsoever what it means that we're now in the middle of August, but I really don't think it's relevant to any sort of discussion about my short-term memory, do you? I remember Imagineer Quest 2007 and the rousing success that was. Do you? Do you remember me talking about wanting to be an Imagineer for weeks on end? Well, do you?
Sunday, August 19:
8:00 - 9:00PM
Nature - “Katrina's Animal Rescue.” Despite what this sounds like, Katrina is not actually someone that is rescuing animals. Just the opposite in fact, Katrina is actually hurting animals and people as Katrina is a hurricane. But, I think you can still probably figure out that the episode covers the animal rescuing that came about as a result of Katrina.
9:00 - 10:30PM
Mystery! - “Miss Marple Series III: Ordeal By Innocence”. Is it just me or is Miss Marple kind of feisty? I know that I have said in the past that I have had my problems with the lady, but I think I was just trying to deny what we all know is really there. I love that feisty thing she has going on.
10:30 - 11:00PM
Anatomy of a Hurricane. This program ventures inside the National Hurricane Center in Miami during the 2004 Hurricane season. It gives an "inside look" at how the NHC works and what exactly it does.
Monday, August 20:
8:00 - 9:00PM
Antiques Roadshow - “Charlotte (Hour Two).” Honestly, I never saw myself as a Charlotte. I always thought I was more of a Miranda. Other people have said that I'm far more Carrie than Miranda or Charlotte. One thing I'm certainly not however is a Samantha. Nope, that's just not me.
9:00 – 10:00PM
History Detectives. This show may be the most fascinating show ever, it really may, but its title leaves a lot to be desired. Now I'm just spitballing here, so this many not be quite what they're looking for, but if they want a ratings boost how about something like CSI: History or Law & Order: Old School.

I really can't imagine that you have watched Gold Futures; the film is riddled with factual errors, and well, lies. Please take a look at this preview of the film

Nice wrapup: yep, guess pledge week is over, and the pickings are hit and miss. But Labor Day usually has some interesting surprises on all the channels, so I'm hopeful.
