Monday Tonight Television

By talkleft

I'm going to need more than one Tivo tonight:

HBO airs "The Ganja Queen" about Schapelle Corby , an Australian serving 20 years in an Indonesian prison for smuggling 10 pounds of pot into Bali at 9 pm ET.

At 5pm, the Sundance Channel replays the documentary "Runnin' Down a Dream" about Tom Petty and his 30 year career while at 8:30pm, the Oxygen Channel will show Richard Gere and Diane Lane in "The Unfaithful."

And on ABC at 8pm, last year's jilted Bachelorette, Deanna Pappas, pares down from the final three to the final two, who almost everyone I've read thinks will be Jason, the single father from Seattle and Jesse, the professional snowboarder from Breckenridge, CO. It's followed by a "Men Tell All" episode with 15 of the guys who got eliminated. I'm rooting for Jesse when she makes her final choice on July 7, but he's definitely the longshot.

Who needs cable news with a lineup like this?

"Runnin' Down a Dream"


Seen it. It was really, really good. Compelling, couldn't turn it off.

This is the last thing in the world that I would normally be interested in, but I stumbled across it while channel surfing and couldn't change the channel.

No kidding, it was really good. I recommend it whole-heartedly.
