I'd like to start off this introduction by saying, right up front, that I would like to be an Imagineer. Seriously. Those are the folks that make all the coolest stuff at Disney. This is not just a momentary whim, but a life-long wish. I know, now you're wondering why I'd bring this up; well, you'll just have to read on and find out (enticing, isn't it?).

Nature - “Wisdom of the Wild”. I think that they’re referring to the animated film, because goodness knows that the wild as a real life thing just isn’t that smart. I mean, there’s no ice cream, no air conditioning, and no television. It has to be about the animated movie.
9:00 - 11:00PM
Mystery! “Jericho, Series II”. I must remind you that this Jericho is not the same as the CBS show, Jericho. I understand, it can be very confusing to have two shows with similar names, but they are not the same show. Please do try and remember that.
Monday, June 4:
8:00 - 9:00PM
Antiques Roadshow - “Memphis (Hour One)”. First up in Memphis: a 35-year-old peanut butter and banana sandwich, stolen from Graceland. Second up: a TCB thunderbolt, stolen from Graceland. Third up: a velvet Elvis, that’s right, stolen from Graceland.
9:00 - 11:000PM
Six Days in June. Actually, there are 30 days in June. I know because I remember that little rhyme about 30 days have September, yada, yada, yada. The six days in question here of course are about the Six Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
Tuesday, June 5:
8:00 - 9:00PM
Nova - “Great Escape”. Like Steve McQueen, all I need’s a fast machine, so I can hop fences while riding atop it. Nova is going to take a look the real story upon which the movie is based. In real life, Steve McQueen wasn’t there; the character may have been, but not Steve himself, and that’s a darned shame.
9:00 - 10:00PM
Frontline - “The Tank Man”. Now this is something I’m truly interested in, no joke. This episode goes in search of the Chinese man who stood in front of the tanks in Tianenmen Square back in 1989. I’ll give you that we’re years later at this point, but I’m still intrigued.
