R2H2:
THE HISTORY CHANNEL WEEK IN PREVIEW
(The show opens
with a Chuck-like montage of History Channel images.)
B. Traven Jr.
here. I will be your host for our new show R2H2: The History Channel
Week In Preview. Please don't sue us, Disney! Ha,
ha! Hopefully, this show will be more profitable than the infomercials
that usually inhabit our Sunday 5:30 am time slot. Ha, ha!
Let's take a peek at the docket:
This Monday we will feature an America Unearthed marathon with my good
friend Scott Wolter, author of Hooked X (9780878393121) 18.95. In
his new episode at 9:00 pm, he will search his home state of Minnesota for
clues to the alleged Viking ancestry of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Some people believe Ms. Wilder is descended from the Viking settlers who erected the
Kensington Rune Stone in 1362. Mr. Wolter begins his search with an
investigation of the new annotated autobiography by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Pioneer
Girl (9780984504176) 39.95.
On Tuesday, surprise, we have an Ancient
Aliens marathon. The new episode is an examination of former Green
Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver and his connection to our alien
overlords. Here's a clip from the show:
David Childress (in a high
pitched, squeaky voice): Donald Driver's new book is Quickie Stands Up
To A Bully (9780692289280) 24.80. And there's a reason they call him
Quickie. He is much faster than a normal human being. He's quite
possibly a human-alien hybrid, or as some alien astronaut theorists believe, he
may have had alien DNA spliced into his genetic material.
Giorgio Tsoukalos: I'm not saying
he's an alien, but he's an alien.
On Wednesday, you guessed it, we
have scheduled a Search for Lost Giants marathon with Jim Viera.
On his latest episode, Jim examines the bloodline of Anthony Robbins, author of
Money Master the Game: 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom
(9781476757803) 28.00 and co-star of the movie Shallow Hal.
Physically, Tony is enormous. Could his lineage include the Lost Giants?
And finally on Thursday, Andy
Cohen, host of a myriad Bravo channel shows and author of The Andy
Cohen Diaries (9781627792288) 26.00 joins us on Modern Marvels.
On this week's episode, we will explore the marvel of how Bravo is still
a viable network.
Thanks for
joining us and if we're not canceled, we'll see you next week. Ha, ha!
Odds
& Sods
James Patterson
may have actually written his latest Alex Cross novel, Hope To Die
(9780316210966) 29.00. This time he has chosen to forgo his usual
ghostwriters, a group of Vietnamese children in a Ho Chi Minh City sweatshop,
and instead, do it the old-fashioned way -- write it himself.
Do you believe
in miracles? Sportscaster Al Michaels' new book, You Can't Make This
Up (9780062314963) 28.99 is really starting to take off. This one
could be the big sports book for this holiday season. I have to admit
that he is one of the few announcers that I do not find annoying.
Enjoy your
Thanksgiving! It's back to the trenches on Friday . . .
