This is it folks, the time has arrived. The sugar has reached my eyeballs and I'm ready to rock and roll. Maybe this year will finally be the year I see the Great Pumpkin. I've always wanted to try sitting in a pumpkin patch and waiting for the Great Pumpkin. I would do it, except when I try and sit somewhere for an extended period of time I end up with some serious back pain and get awfully grumpy. Maybe I should do it this year, bringing a lamp, a chair, a heater, and some food. I'm not the outdoorsy type, you see.

Nature - “Silence of the Bees.” By "silence" the show means that honeybees are disappearing from North America. No one is quite sure why, but gosh darn it, they're going to try and find out. Seriously folks, this could be a real problem, due to the whole pollination thing that honeybees do.
9:00 - 10:00PM
Masterpiece Theatre - “The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard – Episode 2”. I must tell you, I'm quite excited for this. This show is all about Ros Pritchard (Jane Horrocks); somehow or other this fine woman ends up running for Parliament and ends up winning. What's more, though, is that her party ends up with a plurality (possibly a majority, I couldn't say), and she becomes Prime Minister. Oh yes, it's true (in a fictionalized sense).
10:00 - 11:00PM
Art in the Twenty-First Century - “Romance”. This is the first episode of the fourth season of a show about art in the 21st century. The episode will focus on four different artists, including one who stages scenes with dummies. There are so many jokes here, but I'll forego all of them and let you know that they're ventriloquist dummies.

Antiques Roadshow - “Milwaukee (Hour One).” Wow, Milwaukee. This brand-spanking new episode has the show going to the land of beer. I imagine that's what people bring in too, old beer that no one really wants to drink. I promise you people, in at least one of these three episodes beer will come up. Wanna bet?
