There's somethign for everyone this week, from Saturday night preseason football to the American Legion parade, a documentary on challenges for public schools, championship boxing, and an ad for a gilrl reporter. Really, who could ask for anything more?

As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are most welcome.
Looking at this week's listing, I find it interesting as always how many 30-minute programs the networks had. There's a real art to writing a tight 30 minute program, especially a drama.
