The creation of the Sword in the Stone ride continues.
So that you don't think I've forgotten, I want you to be well aware that I'm still on the hunt for the perfect location for my Sword in the Stone ride. I'm studying maps of the Magic Kingdom, I'm plotting points in EPCOT, I'm discovering nooks in Disney Hollywood Studios, and I'm going apoplectic looking for possible...

The creation of the Sword in the Stone ride continues.
As you may recall, last week I pointed out to you the issue with my question about how to get you to read these opening and closing paragraphs. I realized after asking the question that I asked the question in the section of the piece you don't read. And, if you don't read about it you can never learn about the greatness that is The Sword...

The creation of the Sword in the Stone ride continues.
The ever-popular The Sword in the Stone ride. The end all, be all, big all, one for all. Last week, if you recall, I asked you what I could do to cajole you into read the introductions and closings of this weekly column. I tried, I think, to impress upon you the incredible importance (to me, anyway) of the openings and closings. I have since...

The creation of the Sword in the Stone ride continues.
The notion behind The Sword in the Stone ride is, I think, an important one, and one that is all too often overlooked. Oh, not by me; I've talked about it at length. I think however, that perhaps the problem is that it's all too easily overlooked. Here you are, trying to learn about what PBS is showing this week, and here I am, telling you...

The creation of the Sword in the Stone ride continues.
The greatness that is the Sword in the Stone ride may take a massive leap forward six months from now. Six months from now I'll be venturing down to Disney World on a little fact-finding mission. I'll be there to examine all the various possible locations for the ride, I'll try to corral an Imagineer, I'll do all which may achieve...

The creation of the Sword in the Stone ride continues.
That fantastic, fabulous, wondrous Sword in the Stone ride. There's something wonderful about the very act of creation of the ride that truly makes me happy. Please note that I say "creation" and not "production." I say this for a couple of very important reasons. First and foremost, I have created the notion of the...

The creation of the Sword in the Stone ride continues.
So, have you heard tell of The Sword in the Stone ride. It's a dream, it's a fantasy, it's something that one day, maybe, possibly, just might be a reality. It's something that I'd like to see built, it's something that I've described the nature of, it's something that could be a lot of fun. Fine, you know it, I...

The creation of the Sword in the Stone ride continues.
Ah, the Sword in the Stone ride. It's a dream, it's a fantasy, it's something that one day, maybe, possibly, just might be a reality. Okay, it'll probably never be a reality. It's not that it shouldn't be a reality, it's just that it probably won't be a reality. I'm a level-headed person, I understand that,...

The creation of the Sword in the Stone ride continues.
So, have you been thinking about The Sword in the Stone ride? The fantastic, new, possible creation that would fit so wonderfully somewhere within the real of Disney World? As you probably know, or can at least surmise, it would be based on the feature film The Sword in the Stone and it could, quite possibly, be awesome. Sunday, November...

PBS Primetime Programming for the Week of November 9

The creation of the Sword in the Stone ride takes a back seat to more important issues this week (again).
Please be aware, I'm going to take another week off from the Sword in the Stone ride this week. I am aware that this is the second week in a row that we'll not be discussing the ride, but never fear, we will get back to it eventually. The ride is something, I believe, that will live on forever; not discussing it for a week won't...
