The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is a North American public broadcaster and non-commercial, free-to-air television network based in Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia. PBS is a publicly funded nonprofit organization and the most prominent provider of educational programs to public television stations in the United States, distributing shows such as Frontline, Nova, PBS NewsHour, Masterpiece, Sesame Street, and This Old House. I've seen a lot of documentary and music programs on PBS. Depending on the time of day I watch the mystery shows and crime shows don't have the fundraising interruptions. The station is geared to the city where viewers reside. I can see different shows on PBS out of New Jersey and also New York. I'm recommending.

At the height of their popularity, National Lampoon magazine published a showstopping (and extremely controversial) cover of a man holding a revolver to a puppy's head extorting the typical newsstand skinflint to "Buy this magazine or we'll shoot the dog" or words to that effect. As the business end of a handgun can be highly motivational, this newsstand shocker was the largest selling issue in their history. Somehow that's the way I feel when the constant PBS beg-a-thons interrupt Crosby, Stills & Nash (or other classic rock dinosaurs) mid-song to beg for donations... "We'll extinguish your elderly heroes unless you pay up... $300+ for a DVD of the concert and their ubiquitous canvas tote. It's coercive philanthropy but it must work, because they keep on doing it. I give occasionally because I like the PBS NewsHour, most of the science programming and honestly, my collection of totes never leaves the closet. Maybe, if they had CSN threaten a dog... now that would be an encore. I am absolutely sure Neil Young would be up to it. Five stars. Note: No animals were harmed during the preparation of this review.

That's a load of p BS

Everything here has already happened? Not sure how else to word it…read more I came in monday to place a classified ad - I'm searching for a holistic no-kill exterminator because my (sporadically vegetarian) wife's handbag needs delousing. The receptionist in the studded belt and Von Dutch hat tried to help me, but was distracted by today's headlines about the discovery of penicillin and increasing numbers of AI seeking therapy. She took down my name, then informed me that according to her records I'd passed away some time ago, but if I'd like to take a crack at my own obituary I'd be more than welcome to. I told her no thank you because I'd already handed it in, but I'd get to it when I had a chance.

I subscribed to the LA Times to keep local newspapers alive. This one deserves to die a slow…read morepainful death.It's an amateurish local news put on by high school students rag, so I cancelled my subscription online. I was pleased that they made cancellation easy. So easy that they don't even send a confirmation that you would need to look at. I had not been checking my credit card statements and just found that they never cancelled and have been charging me for about a year after I cancelled. I called customer service and was refused a refund even for the current month that they just charged yesterday. Don't give any money to this sleazy outfit.
