Yeah.....I like TV. I know a lot of you see no reason or purpose in it and skip the whole thing. However, myself and others have more often than not found some wonderful and educational programing and shows we are (I guess foolishly to some of you) happy to have seen. Recently on HBO I watched and recorded Thurgood, a one man show about Thurgood Marshall. It is easily the finest one man show I have seen and equals Hal Holbrook's Mark Twain.

Laurence Fishburne is simply outstanding in "becoming" Thurgood Marshall. It is obviously a labor of love as he commands the stage for almost two hours with true passion. Well written to be sure but Fishburne brings us the spirit of the man and does it well. I would love to have seen this live on stage.

Its about time that something was done to celebrate the life of Thurgood Marshall. Someone once wrote that we have books and movies about Malcolm X and MLK and even a special holiday to honor King......but we live every day with the legacy of Thurgood Marshall and many don't even realize it.

If you have some other means to see this fine program, do it! You will not be disappointed.
