Ways to stay awake while watching PBS
PBS has teamed with Green Mountain Coffee to offer its own branded java blend. Coffee and public TV may at first seem like an odd match. But you try staying awake through this lineup: Jim Lehrer, Charlie Rose, Victor Borge, Roy Orbison, Celtic Woman: A New Journey, Antiques Roadshow, Pink Floyd. (They claimed Pink Floyd was “live,” but after five minutes, I wasn’t so sure. Or perhaps those were the Celtic women. Either way, I was comfortably numb.) Maybe the coffee will help viewers remain conscious long enough to write checks during pledge week. Forget the giveaways and product tie-ins: Most supporters would triple their pledges if PBS would just cancel Barney, bring back Carmen Sandiego and create CSI: Sesame Street.
