All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

TV

I enjoyed "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral", well the first half anyway--my viewing has been interrupted by the women in the family watching Carnivale on HBO. That show doesn't interest me so much. I'm not a big fan of moody paranormal bollocks.

I was delighted to learn that Fox Sports World will show every game in the Rugby World Cup later this year. I can't wait!

TechTV has some interesting shows coming up on spy hardware, new military toys, and casino technology. I've always been suspicious of TechTV as dumbed-down ComputerWorld with moving pictures. I'm willing to give these shows a try, though.

"Threat Matrix" is jingoistic pseudopatriotic claptrap, a feeble clone of 24. I regret wasting space on my TiVo for it.

The "Ovation" network has a bunch of Howard Goodall history of music shows. All highly recommended.

(update: the second half of O.K. Corral wasn't as good as the first half)

But.. But... parts of Threat Matrix are filmed outside my building... similar locations to where parts of Alias were filmed. It must be good.

I didn't know that either. Now I'll be able to actually *watch* England win the cup instead of just reading about it (ducks).
