TV Tonight: Bikes, Trains, Cars and Planes!
By Nick Carter
(Monday, August 14th, 2006) We’re looking forward to a full night of the shows we love on Discovery, with a smattering of Toolmonger-friendly shows elsewhere. Last week Bill Murray slapped Paul Sr. Will there be payback tonight? Will “Wiring America” be a paean to Edison, or will Westinghouse (and Tesla) get the attention they deserves?
All times are central.
