I kinda went off PBS altogether after that experience. But once upon a time, yeah, I'll admit, I did like their shows.
Wow..where was that!?! Our PBS affiliate is nothing like that...the money raised goes directly into the station..no fancy luncheons no cell phones etc...in fact they struggle for what they have and utilize it well...it's disheartening to hear about the kind of stations you're talking about...sounds like commercial tv haha...

Anyway...this reminds me, while in Vegas I was watching a show on PBS, a britcom...I don't know what it was...maybe one of you can identify it...

There were two guys...one I guess they're cousins and from another planet or something because the ep was about one of the guys taking the other's super powers away...and he ended having to do the super hero work...well, he gave the guy his powers back so he could work in a store and save money to buy his girlfriend a car..but the other guy misused his power and ended up stealing all sorts of things like the crown jewels and stuff...any clues as to what this show is??
