Another week is upon us and I’m staying strong in my quest to become a Disney Imagineer. This, if you read last week’s listings, is something I’ve wanted for a long time, and it’s something I’m going to redouble my efforts in order to achieve. Maybe I’ll even retriple them. Why would I be a good Imagineer, you ask? Well, that’s a fair question. Outside of an undying love for Disney, it’s parks, hotels, and all the ancillary material, I have experience in the realm of film and television, and, tend to think that have the ability to write. Here, see how good I use my words:
Sunday, June 10th:
8:00 - 9:00PM
Nature - “Pale Male”. Nerds. This show is all about nerds. Yeah, if nerds were red-tailing hawks. One specific red-tail hawk actually that lived in Manhattan. He mated and there were then baby hawks (kind of like baby nerds).
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. That and CBS cancelled the other Jericho.
Monday, June 11th:
8:00 - 9:00PM
Antiques Roadshow - “Memphis (Hour Two)”. 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 - 10:30PM
America at a Crossroads - “Kansas to Kandahar”. Because this country has a short memory, I will remind you that Kandahar is in Afghanistan. We invaded Afghanistan a few years ago. Viewers here will follow the experiences of a Chinook helicopter pilot from… Kansas. You know, when he goes to Kandahar.
10:30 - 11:00PM
Encore! With James Conlon - “Being it or Playing It?”. Actually I think that is most easily answered by going back to an old favorite of mine, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Therein they argued that you shouldn’t dream it, you should be it.
Tuesday, June 12th:
8:00 - 9:00PM
Nova - “Jewel of the Earth”. A look at Dino DNA with the brother of the guy that played the head of the Dino-cloning people in Jurassic Park who apparently looks into these sorts of things for a living. Nice.
