Tuesdays crop. 10% smarter than Monday's.

TCM has an interesting theme tonight with a series of movies based on the end and aftermath of WWII in the Pacific theatre. At 6:45 you can catch Bad Day at Black Rock, The Teahouse of the August Moon (Marlon Brando in this weird comedy) at 8:45.

More serious fare can be found at 8 on History Television with Digging for the Truth: Pirates: Terror in the Mediterranean. At 9 it gets even more serious with Finding the Fallen: Beaumont Hamel 1916: Wounded "A team of archaeologists, forensic experts, and historians travel to the front lines of the Battle of the Somme." And, if this intrigues you, at 2am you can catch How London Was Built: Palaces wherein you can find out all about Hampton Court, Buckingham Palace, Alexandra Palace and the Natural History Museum. Bet there's no particle board.

The History Channel has a few goodies too. Ancient Discoveries: Ancient Super Ballistics at 9, and at 10, History Channel's penchant for anything"mega" continues with Mega Disasters: Dam Break, and if that doesn't fill your mega cup, stick around for more Mega Disasters with Hypercane. Oh my.

That's whats on and it isn't my fault. See you tomorrow.
