This weekend on C-Span 2: Art Buchwald, Too Soon to Say Goodbye. As we all know, the great columnist checked into a hospice in Washington last year with the expectation that he had 2-3 weeks to live. He's still alive and still writing, and this is a little 25 minute show about him. It airs Sunday at 11 AM and 5:30 PM, and on Monday at 6:30 PM and 9 PM, all times Eastern. My thanks to Gordon Kent for alerting me to this and I hereby forgive him for the lousy creamed corn I ate last night.
Meanwhile, here's a Head's Up! On Wednesday, January 10, there's something on Basic Cable that you're going to want to record, at least if you're a fan of great comic actors in very bad movies. I'll write about it here next week but trust Mark on this one. It's a classic and not in the good sense…and no, it's not Skidoo. It's not that awful…but it's close. Check this space in a few days for all the details.
