Spoiled?
I hope I didn't ruin anybody's viewing experience on the "Gender Revolution", Katie Couric's transgender special on the National Geographic channel! Perhaps I should have put a spoiler alert except for Australia:
- Brenda OliverFebruary 7, 2017 at 3:45 PMI found it interesting to find that the documentary was shown in Australia a bit over a week BEFORE it was shown in America.
-
I suppose that no spoiler alert was necessary for most of the trans world, then. I recorded it for viewing tonight, yet I was anticipating the SOS. Still, I watch these things just to see what the average person may have the opportunity to learn. There is a need to counteract the Jerry Springer-type shows, anyway.
- Brenda, I have no idea of why the showing times would be that different, unless the shows were different and tailored specifically to Australians which would make sense to me. Maybe Jeni can comment on it (she is from Australia?)
- Connie, as I mentioned before, this show could have major implications if it went further than "just speaking to the choir."
- Finally, have you all heard the rumors of Saturday Night Live (45's fave show) perhaps trying to line up Rosie O'Donnell to impersonate scary right winger Steve Bannon and Dennis Leary to play "alternate fact" guru Kellyanne Conway? Only in America! (45 is Trumper)
- I wish I could have used the "alternate fact" line on my parents when I was trying to work my way around the many tough spots I was in growing up!
