It is October.  Well and truly October.  Not only does that mean that we're that much closer to the Winter – a time of year I truly despise – it also means that I'm heading to New York for my annual pilgrimage.  I'm not going to be there until the fifth, but I think it's okay for me to let the cat out of the bag at this point.

Nature - “Supersize Crocs.” I can only hope that these are the kind that you flush down the sewers if you live in New York City and have them grow up to be huge man-eating things. Or was that an alligator? Is there really a difference? Does it matter?

9:00 – 10:30PM

Masterpiece Mystery! – "Inspector Lewis, Series II – The Allegory of Love."  For those of you not steeped in British police drama culture, "Inspector Lewis" is a spinoff off of "Inspector Morse."  For his series, Lewis heads to Oxford to solve crimes (this week there's a Czech barmaid whose death needs investigating).  I'll certainly be watching (or will have watched it already depending on how things work out).

 10:30 – 11:00PM

Ribbon of Sand. Things change. It's the way of the world. It just happens. Things change. Get used to it. In this documentary Meryl Streep tells us all about how things change off the coast of North Carolina, in North Carolina's Outer Banks, to be specific. The sand shifts, the beautiful islands that exist now may not exist in the future. Things change.

Antiques Roadshow – "Spokane (Hour One)". 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 – 11:00PM

Inventing LA:  The Chandlers and their Times.  No, not Chandler Bing and his lovely wife Monica Geller, this isn't about them.  Plus, those two folks, as great as they were, lived in New York.  It was Joey who unsuccessfully moved to Los Angeles.  This is instead about the family that ran a newspaper called the Los Angeles Times.  You may have heard of it.
