I know that Balgavy has got the DVR talk monopolized but I've got something to say. And that something is that PBS is incredible! For years, I would check the listings, think something sounded interesting on PBS, and then not tape it or watch it. Through the magic of DVR, I've been watching a lot of amazing documentaries and new shows. In particular, I can't get enough of "American Experience" and "Frontline."
Recently, I have watched amazing shows on these varied topics:
- The Joe Louis- Max Schmeling fights in the 30's
- The Stock Market crash of 1929
- Third party candidates in this year's election (thanks Marc for the tip).
- Donald Rumsfeld and the Iraq War
- A fascinating documentary about Bush and Kerry.
If you didn't see it the first time, you have another chance. The Choice: 2004 is on again tomorrow night (at least in New York) so make sure you watch it. I know that most of you who read this blog haven't decided yet whether to vote for Bush or Kerry so maybe this show will help you decide.
Oh yeah, I also have a 90 minute documentary that I haven't watched yet about the politics of Dr. Seuss. All hail PBS.

i saw some of the dr. seuss thing and was amazed at what a bad ass he was. very outspoken and political. easy to get all "rah rah dr. seuss" until you see his japanese internment cartoons and then you feel all wrong inside.
pbs is amazing, especially if you only have 7 other channels to choose from.
there was a fun episode of "nature" on last night that showed how a lot of animals adapt to the encroachment of humans. the wife got her quota of cute animal footage and it was pretty interesting at the same time.
