Nancy--
Duh! I know all that. The point is, when I first heard that Nigella
was on, it was already 15 minutes past the hour. There are a number of
ways to get a full TV schedule on the computer. But those take time.
I would have liked better info so I could have clicked right on it--or
plan to watch it an hour or two later (depending on time zone) , or
discover that I had already missed it (so I wouldn't waste time looking
for it.)
