Tuesday, April 1:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Nova – “Voyage to the Mystery Moon”. Titan — it's not just the name of an American Gladiator. Titan is also the name of one of Saturn's moons. Oh yes, it is. It also, some scientists believe, holds a multitude of secrets. One of those may just be the origin of life. That's right, the origin of life. Watch and find out.

9:00 – 10:00PM

Frontline – "Bad Voodoo's War". There is a group of people in the National Guard that refer to themselves as "The Bad Voodoo Platoon." I'm not saying they are a platoon, just that they refer to themselves as one. However, that's neither here nor there. This film follows them and their work in Iraq during last summer's surge.

10:00 – 11:00PM

Independent Lens – "Compañeras". Most mariachis are men. It's just the way it is. I'm not saying it's good, I'm just saying it is. Well, this film looks at the world of female mariachis. It examines them, their work, and their attitude. I'm sure it'll even go into how they cope with being in such a small minority.

 
Wednesday, April 2:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Jean-Michel Cousteau: Ocean Adventures – "Return to the Amazon (Part One)". Did you know that the Amazon has one-fifth of the world's river water? It does. 25 years ago, Jean-Michel took a little visit there with his father. Well, now he's going back. He's going to explore it. He's going to see how it's changed. He's going to rock its world.

9:00 – 11:00PM

Caring for your Parents. There are two things you should know. First, the population in this country is aging. Second, people get weird when they get old. They do. It's not a bad thing, it's just a thing. Sometimes, not always, but sometimes, they need help. How can we do that? How can you do that? What can you do to help your parents?

 
Thursday, April 3:

8:00 - 9:00PM

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. Seriously, The This Old House Hour is one of the finest home improvement hours on PBS. No joke.

9:00 - 10:00PM

Antiques Roadshow – "Spokane (Hour One)". Wow. I am amazed. This week the Roadshow is in Spokane. Spokane! Washington! Spokane, Washington! Say it with me one time: Spokane, Washington! Spokane, the town that can! Spokane, the town with a plan! Spokane, where a man can be a man! Spokane, where they have lots of old stuff for the Roadshow.

PLEASE HELP. However do I find out what is on daily? You did not deliver my monthly magazine for April, and I want to know what Rick Steves is showing on Thursday, April 3 - and I cannot find out how to see this anywhere. Also, it is impossible to give my postal code in B.C. as it only wants a U.S. zip code. I can't even find out how to "contact you". Perhaps this message will get to the wrong place.
