PBS - Not Just for Kids
Most folks think of PBS as daytime viewing for kids (mine did enjoy their share of Barney and Clifford the Big Red Dog). If you haven't taken a look at the adult offerings PBS has (no, not those), you're really missing some quality television.
Last year, Madalyn and I had so much fun watching their Masterpiece Classics series of movies about the Jane Austen classics, Pride & Prejudice, Emma and Sense & Sensibility, on Sunday nights.
Because I've been so busy and forgot to check the listings at the first of the year, we've already missed Wuthering Heights and Oliver Twist. But we'll get to see Dickens' David Copperfield and The Old Curiosity Shop.
They have great programming on other nights, too, like a peek inside the British royal family and a show that follows three Native American teens through their struggles on the reservation and how they get an opportunity to document the effects of oil refineries on their land as part of rehab.
If you haven't watched PBS in a while, or you just can't take another room redo or any more housewives from you-name-the-place, give it a try. And consider making a contribution to keep it on the air...my daughter and I would kindly thank you!

For Real?
Ahhh, the reality TV season is in full swing. I know some of you don't get it, but I love it. Here are my favorites this year:
Amazing Race: Margie and Luke
American Idol: Adam and Danny
Survivor: J.T.
Hell's Kitchen: Ji -- but she hurt her foot and left the show
