A&E's spinoff outlet The Biography Channel, believe it or not, still does show actual episodes of "Biography." In fact, despite a steady diet of stuff like "Airline" and "City Confidential" during the day, the primetime lineup often features several consecutive episodes, usually linked by some theme. At the very least there's some kind of overall programming flow. For example, tomorrow night, it's Richard Pryor, a special on "Animal House," and then a bio of John Belushi. Makes sense, right? Comedy, the seventies, etc.
Well, I was scanning the listings for something when I noticed their schedule for the 21st: New biographies of McCain and Obama at 9pm and 10pm respectively, followed by a recycled George W. Bush episode. Mm-hmm. Sounds right. But kicking off the night of "Biography" at 8pm is a look at another famous individual...
Notorious serial killer Richard Speck?
Just so we don't miss whatever point they're making, they repeat the cycle starting at midnight. Hey, there might be a campaign ad in this somewhere. I think maybe running the Paris Hilton episode would be more appropriate.
