Post by: storch on September 14, 2007, 08:05:25 AM: ken burns bores me to tears. ken burns belongs on PBS. if ken burns played AH his teeth would be gnashing and he'd be whining over the demise of the H2H room.

ken burns, PBS and the liberal public trough sloppers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lySLsc-ALL4)

Post by: lazs2 on September 14, 2007, 09:20:07 AM: I have watched PBS from time to time... Why not? I buy cable and I pay taxes and once in a hundred times they have something worth seeing.

I listen to npr too... mostly to see what the enemy is up to.

Beyond my taxes tho... I don't contribute.. I would vote in an instant to have all tax payer money removed from them. me watching or listening to them doesn't mean that they are any less leftwing.

It is disgusting that the government takes our money and gives it to a radio and tv station.

Post by: rabbidrabbit on September 14, 2007, 10:16:22 AM: Actually, Nova and Wide Angle are pretty good. There are quite a few good science based show that may bore some but contain plenty of quality info. I have not seen anything too politically charged in either direction but then again I don't watch much beyond the above.

Post by: rpm on September 14, 2007, 12:43:06 PM: I watched Sesame Street. But I was a bigger fan of Big Blue Marble and The Electric Company.

Now I tend to watch The McLaughlin Report, POV, Scientific American Frontiers and Nova.

lol, that clip alone would get me to watch the show. I've always said, "If you get the chance to talk to a vet, sit down, shut up and prepare to be amazed." Stories like that are why.

I must confess, I'm not really familiar with Burns' work. I guess I could tune out any spin that might be there. Is he that bad?

Post by: Nefarious on September 14, 2007, 03:15:59 PM: Ken Burns "Civil War" is an excellent documentary. Didn't see his baseball doc. I'm definitely watching the War.

Post by: rabbidrabbit on September 14, 2007, 04:03:04 PM: By most any account War was the best civil war work done. I'll be watching this one too... Already have Tivo grabbing it.

Post by: Charon on September 14, 2007, 04:15:48 PM: His Civil War was good, but for one indirect irritation.

Without fail, at least once a year I receive an email that starts off:

"I hope this finds you well... "

Post by: 1cajun on September 14, 2007, 04:27:05 PM: I like all of Ken Burns work. The Civil War series was great as was the Baseball series. He also did one on Mark Twain that was excellent.

Post by: Dago on September 14, 2007, 04:30:52 PM: I rarely see anything worth watching on PBS except during fund raising events. If they showed good stuff like that all the time, I would watch and support PBS. Since almost the only thing worth a dang is shown only at fund raising time, no thanks.

Post by: Nefarious on September 14, 2007, 05:11:35 PM: Buy there programs on DVD (http://www.shoppbs.org/home/index.jsp), makes it a little bit more bearable.

Post by: nirvana on September 14, 2007, 05:56:31 PM: If you listened to or saw Dave Chappelle's stand up "Killin' 'em Softly" you'd know that Sesame Street is indeed a terrible place. They judge people right to their face "Hey Oscar, you're a GROUCH!", 6 foot pigeons walking around, an elephant that's a junkie, and a pimp who they call "The Count".

I wouldn't go to Sesame Street if I knew the way.
