I love the PBS specials. They show them during the two weeks of fundraising, which I hate. But I do enjoy some of the specials. For two Mondays, I have missed Antiques Roadshow because the stations were raising money. But I was able to watch the Three Texas Tenors. In fact I got to watch them more than once. They are great. There is a whole world of entertainment that I know nothing about so I enjoy the peek into another world. The tenors are excellent. I loved the show.
Holiday Inn was also shown. I did not know that a revival had been done on Broadway recently and lasted quite a awhile. That show was an old Irving Berlin show, famous for the Christmas song, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas". The film of the new edition was terrific, full of dancing and singing.There was supposed to be a Frank Sinatra special but it got bumped for yet another Three Tenors. Same show just repeated. I guess the fund raising must have gone well when the tenors are singing.
David Foster and Friends was also just super. I watched through the whole show. I must admit that I switch to the hockey game when the spiel for raising money comes on but I know how long they take before switching from hockey to the show. But these past two weeks I have enjoyed listening to new voices. Hats off to PBS and their specials.
