The more I work on The Sword in the Stone ride (the ride I would create were I an Imagineer and given the chance), the more I think about it, the more I think that it is, unquestionably, a ride that should be built. It could be fun in a way that those classic Disney rides are fun, it could be magic. Seriously, done correctly, the ride could be Disney-style magic. Read below to see a little bit more of what I would do with it given the chance.

Nature – "Oceans in Glass: Behind the Scenes of the Monterey Bay Aquarium." Listen, I love the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I do. I've been there a half-dozen times and will probably be going again within the next few months. It's utterly fantastic, but, the most impressive thing, it's the fact that they filmed Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home there.
9:00PM – 10:30PM
Masterpiece Mystery! – "Foyle's War, Series V – All Clear". This is it for our good friend Christopher Foyle, at least the bits that relate to World War II. Series V of Foyle's War feature the end of the war and, only very briefly, the start of the peace. But, will Foyle finally find piece? Watch and see.
10:30 – 11:00PM
Remembered Earth: New Mexico's High Desert. Filmmaker John Grabowska and author N. Scott Momaday "present a vision of hope for humankind's relationship to the natural world by interpreting the myth, beauty and power of a scarred but sacred landscape of the American West." Wow, that's quite the mouthful.

Antiques Roadshow – "Bismarck (Hour Three)". I'm going to level with you, I know very little about Bismarck, North Dakota. I know very little about the Dakotas in general. I've driven across the country twice, once down south and once more middle/northish, but I never made it to either Dakota. I wanted to, what with Mt. Rushmore being in one of the Dakotas, but I never got there. The Antiques Roadshow, however, did.
9:00 – 10:00PM
History Detectives. This show may be the most fascinating show ever, it really may, but its title leaves a lot to be desired. Seriously, aren't all historians more or less detectives? The title simply isn't descriptive or exciting enough; I much prefer a title like Josh Lasser, You’ve Been Hired as an Imagineer.
