American Experience: Space Men. About project Manheigh. Amazing what they accomplished with so little money! I did not know, that until Sputnik it was career suicide to talk about manned space flight. Von Braun was brought here to make weapons of war, not play with space rockets, and non of the brass wanted to hear different! I still can't believe what it must have been like, to be at over 100,000 feet above the earth, and see the edge of space?

Actually, if you look at Jamie right at the end, and the way he turned his body, I think he was about to cry.
I'll have to look for that the next time I watch it. My wife and I were watching it last night because she hasn't seen it yet, but she nodded off about 15 minutes in so we'll have to try again when she's feeling more...awake. ;)

I'd love to find out for myself first-hand one of these days. :D

Finally got around to episode three of season ten of The X-Files; I am not feeling it. Acting, storyline: subpar.
Vikings was okay although the bear scene was weak. The Walking Dead, not the last one, but the one before. Another episode of foolish and out of character decisions. I don't want to spoil things so I will leave the complaining to a minimum and generalities. :D

I couldn't even bring myself to watch season 10 of X-Files. The show was such a classic (up to a point), that I just couldn't see it. You're not the first person I've heard say they weren't feeling it.

I have so wanted and tried to with each episode. I loved the first incarnation, but this is so badly lacking the energy, the fun, the quality, that it is pretty sad. I will most likely try to slog through the last three episodes, but I have very little hope.
:D

You've suffered through three episodes, what's three more? :)

Series finale of Downton Abbey. No spoilers, but it was perfection. Utter perfection. I couldn't be happier with it!
I set out to tape it. Unfortunately my 1998 VCR does not play well with the new minibox from the cable company; I have to set the TV to the channel I want it to record on . . . and I forgot to do it. Twice, because I missed the first half of the early Tuesday morning rerun. So if anyone would like to PM me with details of what happened in the first hour, I'd appreciate it.

Just a suggestion, but keep your eye on your PBS schedule - they usually replay it several times for the next week or so. In NYC, it will be on again on Saturday at 4pm, but of course, every PBS station has its own schedule. Good luck - hopefully, you'll get to see it.

The current "Guide" available on my economy cable only shows stuff 24 hours ahead, so I don't get anything from that. I'll have a look online.

You should be able to watch it on PBS's website.

www.pbs.org and then go to Masterpiece Theater. That's how my mom watched it - she had to wait until the next day before they put up the video, but not too big of a deal.

Your PBS station should have a schedule grid for all their HD and secondary SD channels. We get two PBS stations, and both websites have different, yet both with great, grids. Options by the day or the entire week. I wish every station made it as easy as they do to scan the week of programming.

Better Call Saul and Forged in Fire.

I think Forged has about run out for me. How many times can we watch these guys pound out knives and then see if they hold up to attacking coconuts and steel barrels, etc. It was interesting for about two episodes. I hung on a bit longer because the last part of the show, when they made historical weapons, remaining intriguing ...but that's worn pretty thin now, as well. 'Reality' TV can get quite tedious.

On the other hand, loved Better Call Saul.
