For the last couple of months I’ve been subscribed to Tom Heald’s Remote Patrol. I get it as a daily newsletter but you can also read it on TV Barn or subscribe to the RSS feed. Oddly, even though the thing features Tom Heald’s name in the title, it seems to be written by Jon Delfin.
Regardless of who does the writing, I like it. The newsletter/column is snarky and wacky, just the way I would do it. For example, sampling from today’s installment:
- “Mysteries of Noah’s Flood” (9 p.m., TLC) reveals that Ham just left the faucet on.
- A Roman catapult is created by a team on “Building the Impossible” (10 p.m., TLC), and then snuck into Iraq to try to convince France to approve the current U.N. resolution.
- “Wild Kingdom” (8 p.m., Animal Planet) suggests that meerkats aren’t as sarcastic as Nathan Lane made them out to be in “The Lion King.”
If you watch more than two hours of TV a day and can spare three minutes for a bit of humor, read this regularly.
