It's on at 3:00 a.m. here on the east coast.  However, for some strange
reason HD shuts down before this.

If you can, catch the George Carlin special on PBS (probably 11 Central, 12
Pacific as far as those of us in the centre of the universe are concerned).
Fabulous stuff, a lot of clips I had never seen before, and even the
presenters
didn't try and top George and make asses of themselves. I never thought
"Wonderful WINO" was the least bit funny till tonight, seeing him just
sitting
at a table and changing expression as he did the jingles and music.
 
Warning: the sound is TERRIBLE. Either that or the Buffalo station hasn't
figured how to deal with HD..the entire perspective was reversed, the
announcer
and the people speaking into mikes were inaudible but the orchestra was at
full
volume, the ECHO of the comic could be heard but not his original voice. On
clips that weren't being played at the Kennedy Centre, like a Stephen
Colbert
bit (okay, I still haven't figured why he's on television), the sound was
fine.
I'm going to check it at midnight on the Seattle channel and see if the same
problem appears.
