The PBS documentary Craft in America: Industry dives into the artistry of craftsmanship that is still alive and well in the United States. The business of making things with your hands is still economically viable, and this documentary highlights various types of handmade objects from throughout the nation.

The great thing about a channel like PBS and a show like Craft in America is that they provide exposure to topics that would otherwise remain in obscurity. Sure, noteworthy items would occasionally show up as internet memes, but it takes a dedicated, patient approach to produce something like Threads. You might not think that you needed to watch a documentary about quilting, but if you end up picking it up, you might be surprised how glad you are that you did.
Unlike most creative arts, thread-weaving has no specific cultural history in the United States, stretching instead across cultural and generational lines to an extent that there's not even a definitive form for it to take. There's some overlay with the surprisingly rich history of quilt-making, but more often than not, it's simply an art form to be hung on a wall like any other. Threads profiles four different artists,...

Tonight's the season finale of "Glee" which I suspect more of you are watching than admit it. I get that, while I've given up any hope of appearing cool or like I have good taste in television, I understand the instinct to protect oneself from the slings and arrows that come when you admit that you're still into (or at least regularly watching) a show that is widely regarded as terrible. It's a strange phenomena, there's shows I've been able to quit after a single bad episode, and there's shows that I stick with even though watching them gives me no real enjoyment anymore not even as train wrecks go (looking at you, "Grey's Anatomy"). And then there's the people who watch so that every so-so episode they can hop online and type as fast as their little fingers can manage that the show has obviously "jumped the shark" (a...
