Ascent of Money - "Bonds of War." Songs have been written. Movies made. Stars signed on with the sheer promise of. Okay, this doesn't have—directly—to do with that. No, instead, this is all about how the system of global finance has evolved. This is episode two of four. Seriously? Only four episodes? Don't people go to school for years to figure this out?
10:00 – 11:00PM
Wide Angle – "TBA."

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 - “Philadelphia (Hour Two).” I am hoping someone brings in the Liberty Bell — that, or the Rocky Balboa statue. Seriously, how much fun would that be, watching the appraisers take a look at the Liberty Bell, see the huge crack in it and deem it worth about $100? Good times.
10:00 – 11:00PM
Soundstage – "Billy Idol." He's vital... Idol. As an old professor of mine said "that's right, I said it, he he." I don't know if Idol is doing new stuff here, but I do know that he's going to be doing old favorites, you know, stuff like "White Wedding" and "Rebel Yell." Is Idol still a rebel or is he old enough to be establishment now?

Washington Week with Gwen Ifill and National Journal #4903. 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 on PBS #529. It’s the Emmy award-winning weekly news magazine. 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, you guys are awesome!
