I am not sure, but I think it will be like a "life and times" type show.  A biography of the family during its heyday.  There is so much history with this family, not only the paper, but the shaping of Los Angeles itself.

HELP!  I'm talking and I can't shut up!

I came...  I saw...  I had NO idea what was going on...

My wife and I usually watch TV in separate rooms, but we do join together to watch LOST, Desperate Housewives, Flash Forward and a few others. I'm a news, history and documentary junkie, so I love PBS, the History Channel, etc.
It truly is "a wonderful life."

Parker's "Jesse Stone" series of movies.   Netflix is a goldmine for entertainment... have 140 movies in my queue, will probably be dead before I get through them all.... have stopped going to the local theatre, just wait until it comes on Netflix. .... watch college football on Saturdays (Go UGA) and Pro football on Sundays.  Watch very few american series shows.... most seem pretty quirky.

I LOVE college  basketball (esp. KU), NFL football, Dancing w/the stars, game shows, How it's made, Antique Roadshow, America's Got talent, Pro Bowling, Pro golf, and FOX news.  And a good book close by, when all of the above are not too "whoopy".

Don't watch alot of tv, but when I do its History Channel, espcially their "what if" type of shows,  Nat. Geographic, Animal Planet, Outdoor Channel.  I cannot stand sitcoms or the Dancing w/ the Stars, American Idol type of programs.  Man vs. Wild, Survivorman, Surviving Disaster, are some of my favorites.
It is high time we eased the drought suffered by the Tree of Liberty. Let us not stand and suffer the bonds of tyranny, nor ignorance, laziness, cowardice. It is better that we die in our cause then to say that we took counsel among these.

Anybody been watching the Ken Burns "National Park" series on PBS this week??  What great history on our 58 national parks.

I'm not watching it, however here's an editorial by Gary North about the natioal parks.
By the way, the states ought to own the national parks and public lands too.  Other than post offices
and military posts, the feds should not own lands.

Isn't Ken Burns the guy who did not get the history of the Civil War right either?

Ghost Whisperer, Army Wives, Secret Life of the American Teenager, Lincoln Heights, I love watching the Dancing shows, So you think you can dance and theres some other ones. Not really into survivor or that much reality tv
