Default A good show on tonight.

I know that many right wingers won't watch an educational channel like
PBS, but to those here that don't mind learning, there's going to be a
very good show on called The Constitution U.S.A. I watched an extended
preview of it and it's going to be eye opening.

I wouldn't trust PBS doing a rerun of Gunsmoke.

That's a little harsh in my opinion. Some of the PBS programming is
really quite good and it fills a much needed culture void that the
commercial networks can't afford. Not everyone has the same tastes in
music, theatre (or politics) and PBS does a god job covering most of
the bases. Are they totally unbiased? Heck no, but you can say the
same thing about the New York Times and the Washington Post - both
great newspapers but you have to appreciate which filter you're
looking through.

Rightie extremists tend not to like news and current events programming
on PBS because the shows go into great detail into subjects they do not
like or like to ignore. Great detail usually means the problems and
possible solutions are not presented in a black or white format, and
require thinking and analysis.
