Looks like a Travel Channel marathon for me on Saturday morning. [shamrock smilie here ]

Thanks, Terry!

Do you detect a theme? Yep, St. Paddy definitely had a hand in this week's viewing!

One more for tonight--in NYC on PBS (channel 13) at 9 p.m., Three Coins in the Fountain (filmed entirely in Rome and other Italy locations.)

Not sure about times elsewhere; check your PBS station.

We watched this mornings line-up and totally enjoyed ourselves. We noticed how Samantha sampled the oyster and ale but not the pork sausage with blood .

Anyway, thank you for this weeks' tv digest.

(We had seen these before, but it is always nice to revisit).

Mods, please remove my post if we shouldn't be having conversations on these threads. I really don't know.

Thanks for all of your feedback. Comments always welcome, of course!
