fortunately, there have always been a FEW good programs on the boobtoob
damned few nowadays, but yet... a few
I was very surprised that PBS aired a short about a little boy whose birthday wish was to meet a survivor of Pearl Harbor, after reading a book about that day. I think the survivor was Donald Stratton who wrote All the Gallant Men with Ken Gire. The boy was only about 10 or 11 years old. He had a look of sheer admiration when he approached Mr. Stratton who gave him a big hug.
This was a rare moment that reminded me of what television can do, even on a PBS station.
