Hurricane Week: Extreme Impact
« on: August 10, 2009, 02:20:51 PM »
This week it's HURRICANE WEEK: EXTREME IMPACT. The programming schedule is pretty much the same thing as the "Without Mercy" week back in June. The 8 PM hour of WC and the 2 AM hour of WC will be replaced with long form.

Also. According to my guide, there's an old special going to air at 8:30 ET; called "In His Own Words: Brian Williams on Hurricane Katrina". NBC's Brian Williams tells his side of the story on Hurricane Katrina. It says it's first aired in 2005 so I'm assuming it's not new.

It's too bad there is not much activity to talk about during Hurricane Week: Extreme Impact. However, I am really getting sick and tired of all these "weeks" and I guess I have NBC to blame for that. <_<

I saw that somewhere, too...I think it was on my TV Guide. :yes: I've never heard of it before; it might be interesting to watch. :yes:

That documentary confirmed my worst fears on how miserable it was for those people in New Orleans after Katrina. :no:  I thought the show did a great job as well, Joseph.

Yes, I enjoyed it myself. Brian was very emotional in that documentary, and a lot of parts were quite depressing.
