The Heart of Gold is off to its first stop on the fabulous, fun, freewheeling Hitchhiker's ride, and as the ship approaches its destination, I think we probably have time to discuss our (the audience) part in the ride. If you haven't figured it out by now, the audience has a very special part to play.

Nature - “Eagles of Mull.” Don't worry, you don't have to think about it for a while, you don't have to spend all your time contemplating it, you don't have to ruminate on your questions. In short, you don't have to mull it over. Mull is in Scotland and there's a ton of wildlife there, wildlife including eagles.

Masterpiece Classic – "The Old Curiosity Shop." The Dickens' classic is brought to life. Little Nell and good old gramps are here as is the less than amiable Daniel Quilp.

From the Top at Carnegie Hall: Special Edition – "Music is Where the Heart is." Well, I guess if the heart is the drum then that's very true. Then music wouldn't only be where the heart is, it would be the heart. I guess if your heart were on a stage where songs are playing the saying would be true again. Thank goodness all musicians have hearts (literally speaking, of course).

Antiques Roadshow “Grand Rapids (Hour Three).” I have to imagine Grand Rapids has a ton of flotsam and jetsam floating through it. I honestly believe tons of older items will be surfing on through the stop. Without a doubt there will be water damage from the rapids, but the stuff will be there. Who cares if the oil painting has run a little.
9:00 – 10:30PM
