If she's had any "work"done to her face, it was very subtle and if possible she looks even better than she did 50 years ago, especially with that gorgeous mane of silver hair. And if Judy Collins or Joan Baez fans have more than one PBS channel on their system they might get lucky and catch Joan's 75th Birthday Concert special if they haven't already seen it since it's been showing up in a lot of the regular Pledge Week/Month sets. Our smaller PBS channel WYIN in NW Indiana (also available in most Chicago cable systems or with an antenna) is showing the concert twice today (Sat Sept 2) and once tomorrow under the Great Performances listings. Yes, Judy is one of the performers, along with David Bromberg, Jackson Browne, Mary Chapin Carpenter, David Crosby, Emmylou Harris, Indigo Girls, Damien Rice and others. Joanie looks damn good for mid-70s too! Yes, Judy Collins is still gorgeous! Thank you for the heads up on that concert special; I will try to find it. Those folks (especially EmmyLou) are terrific!

Spunkygal November 16, 2017 Share November 16, 2017 I just finished watching a 4 part documentary that was on my DVR titled Penguin Hospital. I really don't remember recording it but am thrilled I did and I highly recommend it. Boy, was it impressive and moving for us animal lovers! We are shown the facilities, vets, techs, and volunteers who work at SANCCOB, a South African vet hospital that rescues and rehabs marine birds. I think they have three locations but we saw the Cape Town hospital. This show mainly focused on penguins and we saw penguins with a myriad of issues....a hook down a throat, an injured flipper, injured feet, a beak that did not have the top and bottom align, dog bites, shark bites, just too many issues to detail. They also save abandoned eggs and have a hatchery and nursery. Their mission is to help the birds and release back to the wild. Of course, some birds would not survive in the wild due to their issues, so the hospital keeps them! I thInk they had 36 resident penguins at the time of the show. What is so impressive is the lengths they go to to try to save each bird. Of course, not every situation has a happy ending but at least the bird had a peaceful ending. I was moved by the talented and caring staff and am thinking about adopting a penguin.

I'm thankful he got spared seeing what television has become and how indifferent so many folks in the industry are to impressionable viewers! On somewhat lighter notes, I have to give him credit for composing so many songs despite being a barely adequate singer and,as was shown, a bit of a fail as a dancer but he was not afraid to look goofy to show that it's okay to not have perfect rhythm (and why Tony Bennett didn't make the title song of this documentary into a runaway hit, I'll never understand). Oh, and on a final note I never got why he'd change into the casual sweater and canvas shoes from a suit and formal shoes when he'd enter the house and change back when he'd leave. I mean, he never alluded to having any kind of other job and seemed to keep the casual attire on even when he'd go on field trips! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13731-pbs-viewers-like-you-thank-you/page/9/#findComment-4143925
Mumbles March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 Quote why Tony Bennett didn't make the title song of this documentary into a runaway hit, I'll never understand His rendition was so good! And it's a sentiment often expressed in song (Bruno Mars and Billy Joel's different "Just the Way You Are"s). One thing I did learn was that Rogers had majored in music compositon, which explains the great songs. Quote I'm thankful he got spared seeing what television has become and how indifferent so many folks in the industry are to impressionable viewers! I heard a replay of an interview he did on Fresh Air and he told Terry Gross he was disgusted when he first got a TV and saw people throwing pies at each other. I can only imagine if he were around and saw "Toddlers and Tiaras" or "Dance Moms", he would fly into a rage or burst into tears or both, given how poorly those shows treat children. I think at the time, this show had limited appeal to me because as a kid I found it kind of humorless, esp compared to livelier fare like Sesame Street or the Electric Company. But looking at clips now, there was a gentle, quiet humor to the show. Especially in the Land of Make Believe.

Instead, we got the PBS's regularly scheduled Saturday morning programs of This Old House , Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood , etc. Luckily, I only found out after I attempted to watch the taped 'live BBC coverage' when I was awake but there was no scroll of 'Due to Technical Difficulties. . .'. Anyway, if PBS themselves pulled this stunt. BOO! Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13731-pbs-viewers-like-you-thank-you/page/9/#findComment-4347174

chessiegal May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 We were on the Queen Mary 2 day of the wedding, and 1 BBC plus other channels had the wedding live, then BBC ran reruns, not just for hours, but for days! We had a special dinner in honor of the Royal wedding, everyone was given champagne, and the Captain of the ship came to the dining room and asked everyone to rise an toast the Royal couple. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13731-pbs-viewers-like-you-thank-you/page/9/#findComment-4366320

That's nice but that was NOT on PBS which DID say it would show the event via BBC live but did not (at least in my city).
