My goodness, people, Thanksgiving is upon us.  The year is almost over.  It's all gone by so quickly.  Do you realize I've been writing up these things for over a year now.  It seems like an awfully long time.  I know that at least a handful of people have, on occasion, read these things, there have been comments and the success of Imagineer Quest 2007. I'm going to keep bringing that up because it was a crashing success and, just may, eventually, change the course of my life.  Nothing definite, but fingers crossed. 

Sunday, November 18:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Nature - “The Beauty of Ugly.”   I tend to think it's wrong of Nature to do a special on Ugly Betty.  I understand that this is the November Sweep and all, but still.  Fine, fine, this episode isn't on an ABC show, it's un hagfish, naked mole rats, warthogs, proboscis monkeys, and the like. 

9:00 - 10:00PM

Masterpiece Theatre - “The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard – Episode 5”.  I must tell you, I'm quite excited for this.  This show is all about Ros Pritchard (Jane Horrocks), some how or other this fine woman ends up running for Parliament and ends up winning.  What's more though is that her party ends up with a majority, and she becomes Prime Minister.  Oh yes, it's true (in a fictionalized sense).

10:00 - 11:00PM

Art in the Twenty-First Century - “Paradox.”  In the season's final episode (wow, four episodes people, way to go all out) the show explores five artists who look at contradiction, ambiguity, conflict, and that sort of thing.  I just wish it had been about time travel television series and the problems with reality they create. 

Monday, November 19:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Antiques Roadshow - “Unique Antiques.” Rather than focusing on a single city, this week the show looks at some of the most ridiculous things they have ever seen.  You know, the biggest, baddest, best things they have had on in the past decade. 

9:00 – 11:00PM

Athens:  The Dawn of Democracy.  People think that our democracy is dirty.  Ha.  Go and check out ancient Athens, because 2,500 years ago they had one heck of a bloody democracy on their hands.  One in three Athenians was a slave (I'm quite sure they didn't vote on that), they went to war all the time, and couldn't take criticism.  Sounds a little like our country, doesn't it?

Tuesday, November 20:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Nova - “Master of the Killer Ants.”   This sounds like one great science fiction movie waiting to happen.  It isn't, it's all about the Mofu, a tribe that lives in the Mandras Mountains in northern Cameroon.  A shaman of the tribe summons ants to fight off termites that have begun eating the tribes huts and granaries due to a drought that has caused the termites to leave the fields.
