Documentary Summer

I've always been really into documentaries and since there's not many new programs on in the summer, I'm declaring it Documentary Summer. So far this week I've watched one about Cary Grant and one about Prince Charles. But this weekend is a good one to kick Documentary Summer into full gear. There are about a billion D-day retrospectives on on Sunday in honor of the 60th anniversary. Here's a little guide to them (from the NY Times):

"DATELINE NBC," "Tom Brokaw Reports: D-Day: A Leap Into History," NBC, 7 p.m., Eastern and Pacific times; 6, Central time.
