So, You Wanna Tune into Boston PBS Tonight? You've Got Options, My Friend!
Ah, Sunday night. The fridge is a wasteland, your pajamas are practically glued on, and the only acceptable form of exercise is reaching for the remote. But wait! Before you settle for another night of questionable reality TV (because, let's be honest, even you can't stomach nine straight hours of house-flipping), why not consider the sophisticated world of Boston PBS?
Primetime Picks That Won't Put You to Sleep (Unless You Really Want To)
7:00 PM: PBS NewsHour - You know, gotta stay informed. Who needs gossip rags when you've got Judy Woodruff breaking down the latest headlines with a dash of journalistic integrity? Plus, it's a great way to impress your coworkers at the watercooler tomorrow. ("Did you SEE that interview with the astrophysicist? Mind. Blown.")
8:00 PM: The World - Because the world is bigger than your neighborhood (and probably less drama-filled, thank goodness). Travel the globe from your couch as this program explores different cultures, current events, and maybe even some hidden gems you can add to your travel bucket list.
9:00 PM: GBH Music's Jazz on 89.7 Playlist - Now, this is where things get smooth. Sit back, relax, and let the sultry sounds of jazz wash over you. It's the perfect soundtrack to winding down your weekend and prepping for the week ahead (or, you know, prepping for another round of house-flipping because hey, no judgment).
Feeling a little adventurous? Check out GBH's schedule for other options! You never know, you might discover a hidden gem like a documentary about competitive cheese rolling (it's a thing, trust me).
But Wait, There's More!
Remember, PBS is a gift that keeps on giving. Here's a little secret: you can watch most of their programs online or through their app. So, if you're stuck at a friend's house with questionable cable reception, you can still get your PBS fix!
Pro Tip: Download a few episodes of your favorite PBS shows beforehand. Public transportation delays and boring doctor's waiting rooms never stood a chance!
