CARRIER Carries PBS Documentary to New Heights
July 7th, 2008 at 09:09am Richard Pulfer
One of the best shows on PBS is without a doubt “CARRIER”, a documentary focusing on the lives of the men and women aboard the USS Nimitz. The mini-series is immensely in-depth, covering every job aboard the Nimitz, from the fighter pilots to the floor scrubbers. In doing so, “CARRIER” doesn’t hold back, illustrating the full range of emotion aboard the Nimitz, ranging from patriotism and comradely to stress and frustration. Best of all, there’s no narration on the “CARRIER” and hence no barrier between you and the crew – the documentary dives head first into their lives without any exposition. “CARRIER” airs Wednesday at 10:00 PM, but the entire series is available for viewing online at www.pbs.org.

This is the first time I have read your blog, and I have to admit, I’m confused and disappointed. Isn’t it entitled “On the GO: News and views for Rock River Valley 20- and 30-somethings”? I’ve noticed that this list is made up exclusively of things to watch ON TV (aside from the post about the author’s bachelor party, which I can assure him few readers care about), which can be watched from anywhere in the world, not just in the Rock River Valley. As a 21 year old who can rarely find anything worthwhile to do in this area, this blog is only bolstering my argument. The author needs to step it up, unless I am completely misconstruing the point of this blog.

Hello — thanks for your comments.
This blog was launched in conjunction with our free weekly magazine called GO Now, which you might have seen at local restaurants, bars or salons. However, right now the blog isn’t living up to its purpose and isn’t doing as well as the print section.
So, I’m going to take down the blog for a while until we can properly relaunch it. You’re right that it’s confusing in its current state.
In the meantime, I hope you check out GO Now, which comes out on Thursdays and includes local concert and movie listings, and news on local people and places directed at readers in their 20s and 30s.
Let me know if I can send you some copies, or if I can direct you to certain spots near you where you can grab one.
Thanks again for your comments –
