627 - PBS/........../frontline

At the end of every Frontline show on PBS they say there's more on the web. As much time as I spend on the web I've never really watched a Frontline show there. At least not until just now. So you say 'just what I need, more time in front of the computer'. Well, if you have a big enough monitor, you can blow it up full screen and sit back and watch it like a TV. I've got a 19" monitor for my computer. That's bigger than the TV in my kitchen.

Here's a couple of plans. Set up a dual monitor system and have the second monitor sitting far enough away that it seems like a TV. Or put an easy chair in the corner of the computer room, start the program and sit in the real chair instead of the computer chair.

So here's a direct link to the Frontline site. The are 69 Frontline shows on line. The run times vary from 50 minutes to two hours. The one I just watched is call "Inside the teenage brain". I watch Frontline every chance I get on PBS, but there are about half of the 69 shows that I don't think I've seen before.

I think I'll set up that easy chair.

Update - I added the PBS videos link to my "other links" so I .... I mean YOU wouldn't have to try and find it again.
Put it in my favorites??? One of these days I'll try and count all the favorites I have.

Part of me wants to say, "How can they do a show on Inside the Teenage Brain in just 50 minutes?

And another part of me wonders that there could be anything in there worth putting on TV.
