The Eighth Sin

The History Channel, having covered all possible significant subjects, as well as a myriad other topics such as "Hitler's Women," (an hour's narrative over some old black & white photos and interviews with a few octogenarians) "Crash: The Next Great Depression," (reaching for some Recessionsploitation here, folks), "Cities of the Underworld" (digging around in the sewers while recounting what we think people might have done there), we now have -wait for it- "The Seven Deadly Sins." I note that tonight's episode is "Greed." Given all this, I think that there is a definite call for an episode on the Eighth Sin: "Producing Cable Shows To Fill Up A Vacuous Schedule."
