I guess I’ll watch the big debate tonight. I don’t expect to learn anything new about either Biden’s or Trump’s policies; but this boomer thinks it’s a civic duty…or something. This time, it might be fun to see how Trump reacts to having his microphone cut off when it’s not his turn.
I don’t watch enough TV to justify getting cable; so I won’t be watching on CNN; but all of the usual five broadcast networks will air the debate beginning at 8:00pm central time (my time since I live in St. Louis). Curiously, the online version of TV Guide shows FOX dumping out at 9:37 with all the others ending at 10:00. I’m guessing that FOX is worried about having to find nice things to say about Trump in post-debate analysis. 😎 I’ll probably watch on PBS even though I’ll likely have to put up with Amy Walter making self-fulfulling prophecies about “electability” in the post-debate segment.
Two of the networks will have pre-debate analysis: ABC News Special: Race for the White House from 7:00 to 8:00, andFOX News Special: Democracy '24 from 7:30 to 8:00. I wouldn’t normally pay any attention to corporate media’s predictions of what will happen, preferring to see what actually happens; but the FOX show is only half an hour long; and it might be interesting to see whether they mindlessly repeat Trump’s claim that Biden will be using performance-enhancing drugs or something even more stupid.
In any event, I guess I’ll have to miss parts one and two of Planet of the Spiders on the Retro TV network.
DWATPOTS would be more entertaining.

I’ll be watching tomorrow – 10.30 am for me here in Adelaide on telly. It will be covered on Aussie ABC & SBS as well as most of the commercial news channels – c10, c7 & c9 starting at 10. 30 or 10.25 a.m. in some cases if folks prefer those – tho’ beats me why you would with the exception of SBS News!
It will be as intresting to see what they don’t get asked about or discuss as to see what they do say. I doubt Global Overheating and the Mass Extinction Event we are causing and, so far, (mostly) living through will come up but still. We’ll soon see.
I had to look up “DWATPOTS” as well. It turns out that it stands for “Doctor Who and the Planet of the Spiders” which, if I might channel some who comment on Mano’s blog, isn’t the title of anything. Doctor Who is the title of the whole series, and Planet of the Spiders is the title of the particular six-part story. There’s no “and the” in there anywhere. 😎
Yes.
