The week after this week is Halloween. Well, the very tail end of the week after this week anyway, and because of that I'd like to tell you something that has been bothering me greatly as of late. I know that I've complained about things before, but seriously, this one is a doozy and it's about time that you and I had a serious conversation about it.
Sunday, October 18:
8:00 - 9:00PM Nature – "Rhinoceros”. A wise man once said, "The rhino and I know the pain of back bustin' like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin'." No, that's not right, that was the wino, not the rhino. Like the wino, the rhino drinks, but the rhino mainly drinks water, and, three rhino species on the brink of extinction.
9:00 – 10:30PM Masterpiece Mystery! – "Inspector Lewis, Series II – The Point of Vanishing." 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 (a small-time criminal ends up going down this week and a celebrity atheist is involved). I'll certainly be watching (or will have watched it already depending on how things work out). 10:30 – 11:00PMTuba U: Basso Profundo. All about the tuba. You've got your tuba players. You've got your tuba builders. You've got your tuba rebuilders. You've got your tuba rerebuilders. You've got your 22-piece musical ensemble. You've got you 100-member tuba group. Tuba? Tuba.
Monday, October 19:
8:00 - 9:00PM Antiques Roadshow – "San Antonio (Hour Two)". Ah, Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas. Is it better in Texas though? Is it older in Texas? Has It been kept in better condition in Texas? My understanding is that it's pretty dry in Texas, maybe that has helped preserve the various items that the antiquers bring in.
9:00 – 11:00PM
Latin Music USA – "The Chicano Wave/Divas and Superstars." Jimmy Smits takes on the role of narrator in this series about the influence of Latin music on jazz, hip hop, rhythm and blues, and rock 'n' roll. Tonight we're actually getting two episodes, the first on Mexican Americans in Texas and California and the second on latin pop stars like Mr. Ricky Martin and Ms. Gloria Estefan.
