PBS Primetime Programming for the Week of April 5 - Page 4

Part of: PBS in Primetime

9:00 - 10:00PM

Bill Moyers Journal #1253. It’s Bill Moyers. It’s his 1,253rd journal (not really, but I’m not going to explain to you the way in which TV shows are numbered at this point in time, maybe later if you’re nice). He’s a good journalist so I assume this will be good journalism (at least the odds are it will).

10:00 – 11:00PM

400 Years of the Telescope. Normally I'd probably complain about how I don't like starting the name of a title with the number not written out as words. I won't do that here though because it's hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, the guy who hosts Nova scienceNOW, and I like Neil deGrasse Tyson. I'm letting it slide this time PBS, but don't let it happen again.

 

Saturday, April 11:

9:00 – 10:00PM

Austin City Limits - "Femi Kuti." Femi Kuti is a Nigerian bandleader and political activist all wrapped up into one. He plays music on this show. So, if you watch the show you are more than likely going to see this guy play music. It's that sort of a program.

 

You're in a room, it's dark. The lights turn on, blazingly bright, almost bright enough to cause a hangover-like headache. Sure, that's all well and good right up until there's a knock at the door. From the other side comes a voice, a voice explaining all about the bypass and how the house is going to be knocked down by a bulldozer. Sure enough, at that point a bulldozer-type noise rumbles to life and looking through the window in the room everyone will note that there is a bulldozer, a bulldozer poised to go straight through the tiny little house you're currently standing in. Time for the next pre-show room.
