I watched this the other night -- they sent me a DVD.

I hope everyone enjoys it.  I learned from the Old Macdonald video how hard it is to pack a lot of information into a one-hour program intended for a wider audience.  There isn't too much time to get deep into things.  But it was entertaining, and it will be good to have around 50 years from now -- I wish someone had gotten MacKenzie and Donald Ross on film.

What struck me the most was how unflattering the camera is, and how old we all look.  But then I realized that I have known nearly all these people for 30+ years, so maybe we really ARE getting old.

"The star of the show, to me, is Crenshaw. The knowledge and passion of the two-time Masters champion who has moved into the architecture business really shines through."

Jay Skurski has done a nice job increasing TBN's golf coverage.  Looking forward to this series.

[Ray Cross]

As of today, it does not seem to be scheduled on WHYY in the Philly market for at least two more weeks.

[Will Lozier]

GPB - Georgia folks can watch Sunday 8/5 at 1PM.

cheers

[Dan Herrmann]

The worst PBS station in the USA, WHYY (Philly), won't be showing it.

[Mark Pritchett]

GPB - Georgia folks can watch Sunday 8/5 at 1PM.

Thanks!

[Dan Herrmann]

WLVT (Allentown PA) isn't showing it either.

[Dan Herrmann]

Just got an e-mail from WHYY (Philadelphia PBS).  They're not going to air the show (ever), but said it can be purchased  for $20 at http://www.shoppbs.org/product/index.jsp?productId=13050028

[Jud_T]

doesn't appear to be scheduled in Chicago either.

Maybe the mayor was afraid of rioting if the show misattributes some course's design.

Imagine how many riot cops they'd need if TEP stormed the TV station.

[Bill_McBride]

Tonight in Pensacola, go figure. 

[Will MacEwen]

I see nothing on the KCTS Seattle website.

JM - you're forgetting the possibility that someone -- I'm not saying who, but he'd have to be a very well-established and well-connected someone -- didn't like the show (and/or its design attributions) and so has ensured (I'm not saying how/by what means) that it would never been seen in Phliadelphia! I'm just saying....

[Carl Rogers]

WHRO in Norfolk VA is showing it.  Too bad the connection of TD at Riverfront in Suffolk VA (a few miles away) will probably not be made.
