Programming Choices

My local version of the History Channel, 5/14/05:

4:00 pm to 8:00 pm EST
---Wyatt Earp, starring Kevin Costner

8:00 pm to 12:00 am EST:
---Dances with Wolves, starring Kevin Costner

12:00 am to 4:00 am EST:
---Dances with Wolves, starring Kevin Costner

We were innocent and carefree, weren't we, in the 90s that seemed like they'd never end, when Kevin Costner had enough pull to get studios to sign off on 4 hour long ego-trips.

But seriously, what gives? Considering the nightlife options in Bergen County, NJ, what am I supposed to do without the History Channel's unending feed of biographical minutiae about Hitler?

Speaking of whom, was he really all that bad? (Patrick Buchanan sets the record straight?)

This reminds me of a Nostradaman dramatic fragment... It opened with the holy tetrode of Cosner, Selleck, Swayze, and Reynolds dancing in a ring, wearing only robes, and loudly beating their chests and bemoaning their mid-nineties declines... Particularly poignant was Burt Reynolds's speech on "Evening Shade", though Cosner's "Waterworld" aria was a real show stopper too...
