Is it over yet?

The only channel I can get in the guest room is WOSU--and it seems they've been running their funds drive for about 6 weeks. The same thing is on every night, all night! We've had some colds here in the Bruce house, so I've had about 2 weeks of sleeping in that really nice room with some really boring TV.



Celtic Woman. Do-Wap. Great Performances with people I've never heard of in front of wildly enthusiastic audiences. And some dopey people riding around Europe in a convertible stopping to eat. What's so bizarre, is that they try to act as though this is what public TV is about. But the rest of the year they show such slanted, leftist drivel to keep some Hollywood unemployed marxist film maker busy that it is ridiculous. At least during funds drive they should show the really ugly, anti-American stuff so people can make a reasonable choice whether to support them.

Antiques Road Show. Now that's worth watching.

There is much to watch on PBS..."Ask this Old House' keeps this old house together!! for one...Last night we taped the Pete Seeger program(for those that get up early to go to work still and again in the household)...Public broadcasting's Mr. Rogers and Big Bird have helped a lot of children with their self esteem,my own son was enchanted with those two...we have one TV set in this house and watch way less than you do and almost always it is PBS...surely e,I admit the old Lawrence Welk shows we turn off...we turn off the bubble machine,as it were.Read more, watch less...we do and we still manage to stay informed..Hope the colds are all better before Christmas...P.S. Bob's painting photo was wonderful,he deserves his awards...Gotta run...got a date!! Wooo Wooo...Lynne

They must not be doing the funds drive in Illinos. I'm sure there are interesting programs--somewhere. Even Lawrence Welk would be a joy at this point.
