Catering to Egos
The PBS station we get here on PEI, WGBH from Boston, is in the middle of a pledge drive. What I've seen every time I've turned to that channel in the last couple of days is an advertizement disguised as a documentary about "Fawlty Towers". I am instantly excited and then disappointed when I realize they're just playing a clip and not the actual show.
PBS seems to realize that the people they want to get donations from are the types who like to think they enjoy British comedy but don't really.
