The Boob Tube
And, whoever said that there is never anything good on TV anymore? I recently found out about two little gems, both are airing on Sunday, 3/13. The Cutting Edge 2: Going For The Gold and How William Shatner Changed The World (no I didn't make that one up). I wouldn’t get too worried if you miss them on their first go around. They both are appearing on (and were produced by) basic cable, and my experience has shown that these networks like to milk their original made-for-TV programming as far as they humanly can.
The very first DVD I owned was the figure skating movie, The Cutting Edge. Sure, you can train to become an Olympic level figure skater in a year. Yeah, I can buy that. Kidding aside, 1992’s The Cutting Edge is pure Cheesewiz, but I love it! “Toe pick!”
The ABC Family Channel's web site uses this discription of their new film The Cutting Edge 2: Going For The Gold
This sequel to 1992's “The Cutting Edge” focuses on Doug and Kate's figure-skating daughter, Jackie (Christy Carlson Romano), a fierce competitor who falls for a laid-back in-line skater (Ross Thomas). Scott Thompson Baker and Stepfanie Kramer costar as Jackie's parents. Directed by Sean McNamara.
"Fierce competitor"... "laid-back partner." Now where have I heard that before?
The Cutting Edge 2: Going For The Gold premires on the ABC Family Channel on Sunday, March 12, at 7:00 p.m. EST
Here the discription for How William Shatner Changed The World provided by the History Channel. I have read it, and I am still not too sure about how all of this Shatner changing the world stuff works.
You've got a cell phone at one ear, an iPod at the other. You know that Blackberry is now a verb and Spam is not only canned meat. But just how did we get here? Blame William Shatner--yes, that William Shatner--Captain Kirk. We'll boldly go where few have gone before to reveal how scientists, inspired by the series, would revolutionize medicine and are surpassing the far-out vision of the future foreshadowed in Star Trek in the 1960s. From cell phones to computers to even leading-edge medical advancements, this 2-hour special explores how those sci-fi inventions have now permeated everyday life as we know it. Hosted and narrated by Shatner and based on his book, I'm Working on That, we'll meet the brightest minds of Silicon Valley and the Trek-inspired inventions that have help change the world.
