Hawaiian Monk Seals: Surviving Paradise. Ummm… uhhhh… ah, the Hawaiian monk seal is the oldest living seal and is on the brink of extinction fro a reason not at all stated in the description, which seems like it might not be humans because it does say that they live almost 1,000 kilometers from civilization. Could the problem be Al Gore?

The Sixties: The Years that Shaped a Generation. I like to think of the 1960s as a decade of absolutely fantastic music and ideals that completely and utterly failed. This two hour extravaganza will go through not only the music but the activism that took place as well. I hope they reach my conclusions on the whole thing. Let's face it, the counter-culture failed.

Live From Lincoln Center - "Mozart Dances". Now that would be awesome. Frankly it's something I'd pay to see. I think this calls for a revival of that Austrian pop icon, Falco. You know the one I'm talking about. That's right, if he dances, I'll be yelling "Rock Me Amadeus!"
10:00 - 11:00PM
Adventure Lodges of North America - "Canadian Adventure Lodges". And the summer doldrums clearly have set in over at PBS. Pledge Week is clearly over. The boss is almost certainly out of town. I kid, I kid, just because I would associate this with the travel channel and not PBS, that doesn't mean that looking at a bunch of historic inns and chalets across North America will be less exciting than seeing a dead composer dance.

Washington Week with Gwen Ifill and National Journal #4707. 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.
