For all the wonders of new technology, nothing beats a small town rumor mill. That's the frightening conclusion of this Washington Post visit to a neighborhood on Findlay, Ohio.

Highly Recommended The Show: In recent years I have noticed my tastes changing in terms of what I enjoy watching and what I find entertaining. It used to be that documentaries and stuff found on the History Channel would bore me to tears but quite honestly it's one of my most watch channels right now. There are so many good documentaries and series on the channel now and they are mostly successful...

Reviewed by Kristin Munson Quote: "While the regular installments of the series focus on human success, the Engineering Disasters episodes take that morbid human itch for fire and loud noises and use it to teach, kind of like my 12th grade chemistry teacher."

The future frequently envisioned in the 1930s was a bright and shining place, filled with tall skyscrapers and mechanical automatons that took even the most common laborious tasks and functions out of the hands of the common citizens. It was a great big beautiful tomorrow as presented in films such as Metropolis and Things to Come and a popular culture phenomenon that ultimately culminated at decade's...

Highly Recommended The Show: Like it or not, for better or worse we (humans) have a morbid fascination when it comes to accidents. How many times have you driven by a car crash only to attempt to sneak a peak or grumble about being stuck behind people who were looking? The same can be said for a fire or medical emergency or police action. If there's something going on that's bad news for someone,...
