Aside from New Yearā€™s Eve specials, itā€™s a lean week for original programming. Still, there are a few stand-out offerings. Hereā€™s what caught my eye on television this week:

Sunday: ā€œUndercover Bossā€ 7 p.m., CBS: Yeah, itā€™s just a reality program, but itā€™s one of the only new network offerings tonight, so weā€™ll take it.

Monday: ā€œHappy New Year, Charlie Brownā€ 7 p.m., ABC: The olā€™ blockhead hunkers down with some choice Tolstoy during these Peanutsā€™ festivities.

ā€œ******: Cape Cod, USAā€ 8 p.m., HBO: This documentary explores the grip of addiction through the stories of eight twenty-somethings.

Tuesday: ā€œThe 38th Annual Kennedy Center Honorsā€ 8 p.m., CBS: Host Stephen Colbert pays tribute to Carole King, George Lucas, Rita Moreno, Cicely Tyson and Seiji Ozawa; James Taylor, Janelle MonĆ”e, Yo-Yo Ma and others perform.

ā€œAlmost Geniusā€ 9 p.m., truTV: This new reality comedy series looks at folks who fall just short of their goals. They should be knocking on my door any day now.

Wednesday: ā€œThe Twilight Zoneā€ 6 p.m., Syfy: The annual marathon features 156 episodes of the acclaimed anthology series and ends on Jan. 3.

ā€œIn Defense of Foodā€ 8 p.m., PBS: Michael Pollan trots the globe in search of people who eat for health.

Thursday: ā€œThe Simpsons Movieā€ and New Yearā€™s marathon, 5 p.m., FXX: The animated motion picture kicks off a back-to-back showing of 56 episodes.7 p.m.

ā€œ**** Clarkā€™s Primetime New Yearā€™s Rockinā€™ Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2016ā€ 7 p.m., ABC: Whew! That title was so long that itā€™s almost 2017. The special breaks for local news and resumes at 10:30 p.m.

ā€œPitbullā€™s New Yearā€™s Revolution, Part 1ā€ 7 p.m., Fox: Jussie Smollett, Shawn Mendes and others help the performer ring in 2016 from Miami.

ā€œLive from Lincoln Centerā€ 7 p.m., PBS: Alan Gilbert leads the New York Philharmonic in a Parisian-themed New Yearā€™s Eve special.

ā€œNBCā€™s New Yearā€™s Eve Game Night With Andy Cohenā€ 9 p.m., NBC: The Bravo star hijacks the prime time portion of Carson Dalyā€™s annual holiday event.

ā€œNBCā€™s New Yearā€™s Eve With Carson Dalyā€ 10:30 p.m., NBC: And again, Daly is relegated to late night.

Friday: ā€œSherlock on Masterpieceā€ 8 p.m., PBS: Itā€™s practically the only non-rerun programming on tonight, but itā€™s really the only programming you need. The special finds Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freemanā€™s Holmes and Watson solving a case in 1895 London.

Saturday: ā€œGalavantā€ 7 p.m., ABC: Four episodes of last seasonā€™s surprise hit musical comedy air back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

ā€œAustin City Limitsā€ 7 p.m., PBS: Alabama Shakes and Vintage Trouble perform.

Sat down to write a tribute to this soldier, and a critique of our nation's leaders after watching this CBS 60 minute segment.Ā Ā But as is my wont, I listen to music as I compose, but this time the song was the exact answer to what I wanted to express, much of want to say, almost all of how I felt.

First watch the segment, then read the lyrics to one of Willie Nelson's signature songs, written by Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, and Jim Dickinson. Added the YouTube video of Willie singing as well.

If it helps, change the Rio Grande to Afghanistan.

Across The Borderline
(Ry Cooder/John Hiatt/James Dickinson)

There's a place where I've been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the borderline
And when it's time to take your turn
Here's one lesson that you must learn
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find

When you reach the broken promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you've paid the price to come so far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline

Up and down the Rio Grande
A thousand footprints in the sand
Reveal a secret no one can define
The river flows on like a breath
In between our life and death
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline

But hope remains when pride is gone
And it keeps you moving on
Calling you across the borderline

When you reach the broken promised land
Every dream slips through your hands
And you'll know it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you pay the price to come so far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline
Now you're still just across the borderline
And you're still just across the borderline
------------------------------------------------------­-
Here is the YouTube of Willie singing the song.

Ron Sparks Jul 2015
the fog outside my window creates
miniature halos around each
streetlight -
mocking me with their
barometrically-induced
divinity
how the **** can a streetlight
find God when all I find
are more reasons to dislike
my fellow man?

every day, all day,
on every channel
(CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS)
I see hour after
hour
of so-called news about
the latest boogeyman Arab,
celebrity pregnancies,
something else that
causes cancer,
a book that will
change my life,
or a heartwrenching expose
on teen drugs use in
suburbia.

hundreds of hours of
"news"
every day.  We talk
so much and still
fail to communicate.

And all the while, the light
outside
my window reaches enlightenment
without ever
saying
a
word.

— The End —
