Have you ever been to a luau? I myself, I must confess, have not. I'm quite excited by the prospect of going to one, however. I fully intend, come four weeks from now, to be able to tell you that I have attended one. I hope to be able to tell you just how lovely and beautiful and delicious the entire thing was. It, most definitely, is my goal. That way, if you have not yet had the opportunity to attend one, you might gain a Quantum of Solace from my recollections.

Sunday, April 6:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Nature – "What Females Want and Males Will Do (Part One)”. Do males in the animal world pick the females or do the females pick the males? Perhaps, just perhaps, it's a mite more complex than that. I don't know, but there are tons of scientists out there that are desperately trying to find out. It seems as though the females pick, but it's not quite as simple as all that. Watch and find out.

9:00 – 10:30PM

Masterpiece - "The Complete Jane Austen". Holy macaroni! They're going to show pretty much every Jane Austen work they can get their hands on (plus they made a ton of new versions). That's actually why they call it "The Complete Jane Austen," they're going to show all of it. Up this week, part two of "Sense and Sensibility."

10:30 – 11:00PM

PBS Previews – "Carrier". PBS isn't going to show you "Carrier", they're just going to show you a preview of it (it airs at the end of April and beginning of May). They're going to tantalize you. They're going to intrigue you. They're going to tell you about some of the people on the USS Nimitz.

Monday, April 7:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Antiques Roadshow – "Spokane (Hour Two)". 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.

9:00 – 10:00PM

American Experience – "Amelia Earhart". We all know the story already, and this look at Amelia will bring absolutely nothing new to the table as it originally aired over ten years ago. That doesn't make it bad, just no longer groundbreaking. But, if you haven't seen it, it's new to you (thanks, NBC, for that swell slogan).

10:00 – 11:00PM

Retirement Revolution – "On Our Own". Over the past several decades retirement has changed. Over the past several decades the notion has changed. It has. We don't need to deny it. As this episode will explain, baby boomers will pretty much have to work out their retirement plans all on their own. Paula Zahn hosts.
