Well, the quality is up to the viewer, but here’s my take on the Sunday morning TV shows.
I’m not a huge TV guy at all. But I’m a big fan of Sunday morning TV and news reading via internet. I usually drink half a pot of coffee while doing this. Back in my single days it was a bigger event where I had the luxury of investing even more time.
Meet the press with Tim Russert – MUST SEE. This show is a great way to start of the week. Tim usually has extremely knowledgeable guests and interesting questions to ask him. This morning Hillary Clinton has bombarded with questions regarding her flip-flopping on the Iraq war. Tim pwned her with a few video clips and quotes showing her change in stance. Not 5 minutes after Hillary was off the show, Alan Greenspan was talking about his new book “The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World”. A co-worker of mine is having issues getting through this book because it was “boring”. I guess thinking about Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, it does seem like that book would be a snooze-fest, but after his interview I might pick up a copy. Russert pointed to a recent quote of Greenspan: “I think Bill Clinton was the best Republican president we’ve had in a while.” Greenspan responded by saying many of his stances on free trade, globalization, welfare reform and fiscal restraint coincided with Republican values versus Democratic. On a side note, Greenspan is married to Adrian Mitchell, a NBC reporter. They joked about the first date in which Greenspan brought Mitchell back to his apartment to read an essay he wrote about monopolies. Not a move i’ve ever heard about….
C-SPAN – Washington Journal. this show is too cool to miss out on. Always interesting debates, add live callers with stupid or smart comments, you have an entertaining show. Pretty much anything C-SPAN rocks though, not just WJ. Steve, you’ll understand some day.
Evangelical Religious Shows. How does this carry the quality theme? Entertainment, not content. I can’t help NOT to watch these shows. Today I was lucky enough to catch a local ministry hosted by Mac Hammond. This was spectacular. Mac and his wife Lynne seem to be 2 down to earth faithful folks trying to guide people in the right direction. While watching the show I googled “Mac Hammond” to find many, many accusations of IRS related issues. According to City Page the Living Word Christian Center’s annual report states the church collected $24,047,130 in contributions in 2005. I can’t seem to find the report anywhere on the internets. But, WOW, I’m in the wrong industry. This horse’s ass babbles on for an hour on Sundays and brings in $450,000. Dang G.
So morale of the story…check out TV on Sunday mornings next week with a tall cup of coffee and a computer. You’re missing out on some good stuff.
