    And it's probably during a pledge drive...

    which makes it an example of the reason I don't give to PBS: they can the programs I actually watch (chiefly Red Dwarf if it's on a channel I get, This Old House and Masterpiece Theatre episodes) to raise money by broadcasting something like this, silly financial shows, or musical groups that were popular in the 1950s. When they start Red Dwarf or This Old House marathons, well I might reconsider.
