TV Junkie: Thursday

Baseball was fun last night since there wasn't much else on. Tonight we have more choices, except for late night which only offers us Kimmel. If you have the Sundance Channel you really ought to check out the series Iconoclasts, which pairs up incongruous individuals from sometimes completely disciplines to see what kinds of discussions result. Weird and fascinating.

5:00pm World Series: Game Deux FOX - For all you non-Francophiles or non-Naked Gun fans, Deux = Two

5:00pm The Candidates 2008 PBS - A whole mess o' Republicans. Hmmm, let's see, watch the World Series or watch a bunch of Republicans.... hmmm
