Washington Week with Gwen Ifill and National Journal #4638. Another whole week has gone by and good old Gwen Ifill and National Journal are here to fill us in. For the record, I like to pretend the National Journal is a sidekick, like Robin to Batman, Starsky to Hutch, or chocolate sauce to chocolate ice cream.
8:30 - 9:00PM
NOW #312. It’s the Emmy award-winning weekly newsmagazine. It looks at issues facing our democracy. The show is hosted by David Brancaccio. And, even better, they still send me e-mails (I think that makes me cool and them nice). Thanks, Now!
9:00 - 10:00PM
National Geographic Specials - “Lost Treasures of Afghanistan”. Please see description above, cause it’s awesome.
10:00PM - Lengths Vary
Monty Python’s Flying Circus - #104. It’s the Python boys again. They’re still funny. Funny, wacky, zany, other things. They are the Pythons after all.

Austin City Limits - “Coldplay”. I started this thing confused and I’m going to end confused. They’re playing in Austin, why are they still cold? And, even if Austin is a little chilly, surely they’ve warmed up in their playing in general so as not to be cold anymore.
PBS doing regularly scheduled programming, it’s a wonderful thing. Seriously. No more “you have to lose weight” shows or Lawrence Welk specials. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. This, though, is better. Trust me. This is definitely better.
