As long as I can remember there has been Public Television. Whatever State in the U.S. I lived in I…read morealways found excellent educational programs on my TV. These programs educated me as well as my class in the days I taught Head Start. Educational Supplies were not always available but children watched TV at home. I tried to steer families in the direction of beneficial programs. Now flash forward. I'm living on retirement funds that are not allowing me the luxury of hundreds of cable channels. I signed up for our NYC public television emails. WNET Channel 13. There's such a variety of excellent shows on. I've done some screenshots from my emails of the current shows on in October. I can't say enough about this Network and the benefits of public broadcasting. I wish I could afford to donate. I also wish I wouldn't fall asleep during the shows. Oh well! I highly recommend you tune in. Look up the network in your area. Let's all support public television and put the cable and Internet TV out of business. Or at least give them serious competition and drive their prices down. The haves can pay and the have nots remain in the dark.......

PBS just recently ran the Metallica S & M 2 concert with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra which…read moreimpressed The F'k Outta Me to the point of writing this Review. I've always been a fan of their broadcasting especially the arts and entertainment stuff they've always provided throughout the years. I will say that I used to be a member and always donated to the cause but admittedly a few years back they did lose Me. This latest move however shows that PBS has grown a set of balls and is willing to take risks which are in My opinion worth while. Consider Me back on board; go online thirteen.org or call 1.800.468.9913 This concert which was originally filmed in 2019 was supposed to be released to indoor IMAX theaters and like everything else it took a back seat to Covid. In August it was released to pop up outdoor drive in theaters where each car was charged a fee for access. This type of venue did not do this show any justice and it was not appreciated by anyone but true hardcore Metallica fans. Much like the first S & M offering it is an incredible melding of two entirely different styles of music but somehow it works and in a Huge Killer way. I got a text the night of the PBS show from My fellow Music Lover and Yelp Sister Mercedes C. who told Me about it, and again the following morning She said "Man that Shiit was Fire"!! and I couldn't have said it any better Myself. Come And Get Your Music Munch On!!

Did a boatload of solid advertising business with Hearst and have no complaints but my enduring…read morememory is of several things mostly gleaned from the experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute where they certify products for inclusion in the magazine. First, Suave or any bargain Conditioner, is an excellent low cost dry hair volumizer for men. Second, dry your razor blades after each use and they last four times as long. Oh and there's an unspoken third -- never joke about Patty Hearst (or "government cheese") on a crowded elevator -- or for that matter, proclaim the greatness of the thinly veiled William Randolph Hearst biopic, Citizen Kane around the water cooler. Considering that they publish Cosmo, Esquire and shovel out a metric ton of bad reality programming on A+E and the Lifetime Network, they can be remarkably uptight about such things. BTW, they also publish some very fine magazines. And for you kids reading this, Google "magazines", Patty Hearst and "government cheese."

It's so great to live in Manhattan. I have access to all kinds of entertainment and beautiful…read morearchitecture! This is a favorite. Hearst Communications, often referred to simply as Hearst, is an American multinational mass media and business information conglomerate based in the Hearst Tower in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Hearst owns newspapers, magazines, television channels, and television stations, including the San Francisco Chronicle, the Houston Chronicle, Cosmopolitan and Esquire. It owns 50% of the A&E Networks cable network group and 20% of the sports cable network group ESPN, both in partnership with The Walt Disney Company. The company was founded by William Randolph Hearst as an owner of newspapers, and the Hearst family remains involved in its ownership and management. The Hearst Corporation was founded in 1887 in San Francisco, California. Everyone knows I love historic companies! My life is touched constantly by their communications. I used to enjoy reading Cosmopolitan. I can't afford the luxury of magazines anymore. MOTOR Magazine is a monthly American automobile magazine first published by Hearst Magazines in 1903 as THE MOTOR. This was the first title in Hearst's magazine division. My Family always had a subscription to Good Housekeeping. I could go on and on about their extensive communication history and holdings. I'm not going to bore you with details. You can look them up and see your favorites yourself! I'm a fan and recommend this historic company. Visit the building in midtown when you come to the city. You won't be disappointed. I'm a fan of building architecture too!

Because I love all things college football related, part of my Fall Saturday morning ritual is…read morewatching Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Desmond Howard and Kirk Herbstreit at 10am on CGD (College GameDay). Each week they broadcast live from a different college campus, complete with raucous fans in the background, who will boo you, if say, you're Desmond Howard and are broadcasting live from Ohio State (haha! after all these years, they still hate him. I guess he did something right :). During the two hour show they cover every ranked (and some unranked) team and every game, complete with on-site interviews with coaches and some players. Hell, they even do some play demonstrations on a field built by Home Depot, the sponsor of the show. It's the most comprehensive coverage I've seen and I learn something every week....even if it is about Tim Tebow (yawn). Where else will you see two guys, both former players (Howard and Herbstreit) from rival universities (U of M and Ohio State) share a joke? And where else will you see a student behind the set holding a sign clearly stating "Corso is a penis"? (True story. I saw it a few years ago and my brother and I still crack up at the joke). If you're a college football fan, then this is the show for you.

i am not ashamed to admit i dig lifetime movies. some of the movies are so funny, even though most…read moreof them are dramas and serious stories.they repeat them frequently ,so if you miss the 8pm show, the 10pm is ready for you. its always the same drama the husband did that, the wife did this, the daughter is a whore or the son is sleeping with his teacher , really juicy stuff. its a guilty pleasure of mine, and its better then watching the depressing news or those dumb fake reality junk shows.who cares if the plot is always the same, i enjoy it all. its not only the midwestern disgruntled housewife who is watching, you have your straight heterosexual slacker.(and proud of it). thank you lifetime channel, there is not better way to spend a saturday night then to catch the latest. sappy , campy ,trainwreck show on lifetime. thank you lifetime, i am a fan for forever.

On my way to work this morning, I stopped in at Root Hill cafe for a coffee (great place, corner of…read moreCarroll Street and 4th Avenue in Park Slope, but more on that later), and figured that they had recently gotten satellite radio. Some good tunes, typical for them. Then all of a sudden I heard the dj call out 91.5 FM, WNYE. What? A good radio station in New York? Huh. Well yes, in conjunction with the excellent KEXP on the West Coast, New York City's radio station has become as hip as their TV station. Anyone who enjoys watching New York Noise will enjoy this radio station. I think I'm better with restaurant reviews, because I know that music is so subjective and requires different syntax, but anyway, I encourage everyone to give WNYE a try, so that the next mayor will give as much credence to the youth of New York as this one obviously does. New York needs it. It works. Listen up!
