PROGRAMMING NOTE

Today's "ASOTV" Showcase featuring Mervin and Maude Wendell will be the last of the more detailed spotlights for the next few weeks. I'm leaving on vacation (again) this coming Sunday and I need to get a lot of stuff done. So the 'Centennial' focus will peter out like a dried up Platte River with a lot of minor characters.

That leaves quite a few major characters - Levi Zendt, Clay Basket, Potato Brumbaugh - still to be featured. And even though it won't happen during the TV Western month, I'll still get around to them. 'Centennial' will probably always be my favorite adaptation of book to television and I want to make sure it gets its full due in this year of the literary edition of the As Seen On TV showcase.

BCnU!
