Up Shat's Creek

If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you check out Shatner's Raw Nerve Tuesday nights on the Biography Channel. Unfortunately, I missed the first couple episodes - hopefully I can find them online - but was lucky enough to catch Bill's interview with Kelsey Grammer last night.

What makes this show good is how different it is from the regular glut of talk shows we are used to. There's no live audience, no stupid banter about how great their newest project is or how wonderful it was to work with so and so. It's a genuine conversation in which both - repeat both - participants are interested and willing to talk about interesting personal aspects of their lives. It makes for an extremely compelling and engrossing half-hour.
