A little birdie sent this to me. I haven’t been able to confirm its authenticity but here ya go.
“They’re becoming more Netflix-like.”
“Enlightenment,” premiering tonight, is the best show on HBO’s current schedule, says Hank Stuever: “A closely observed, wonderfully realized depiction of a very modern brand of narcissism…”
My kind of show.

“Derek Jeter 3K” Documentary Premieres Tonight at 9 p.m. on HBO
“It chronicles Jeter’s chase of 3,000 career hits and features new interviews with Reggie Jackson, Hal Steinbrenner, Joe Torre and Minka Kelly, among others. It also was the first time that Jeter wore a microphone during the game. Nice work by HBO and MLB Productions getting that to happen.” - Neil Best, Newsday
9 P.M. (HBO) THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH AUNT DIANE
Two years ago, in one of the worst car accidents in New York State history, Diane Schuler drove the wrong way on the Taconic State Parkway for almost two miles. She eventually collided with a sport-utility vehicle, killing eight people, including herself. In the vehicle with her were her daughter and three nieces. She was condemned as a drunk and a careless mother, but this documentary explains why there’s perhaps more to the story. - NYTimes

9 P.M. (HBO) MANN V. FORD
The Ramapough Indians of North Jersey battle the Ford Motor Company for turning its land into a dumping ground for toxic waste and the Environmental Protection Agency for failing to ensure that the Superfund site was properly cleaned up. - NYTimes
“Hot Coffee is more than just a compelling film. The issue of tort reform is something that I have been engaged with for a long time, dating back to my years as a health insurance consultant, but this film illuminates the subject in ways that were completely new to me. While some will dismiss the personal stories in the film as “manipulative,” they serve to illustrate the true consequences behind pithy catch-phrases like “jackpot justice.”
“Hot Coffee” HBO, 9PM
Is Justice Being Served?
Seinfeld mocked it. Letterman ranked it in his top ten list. And more than fifteen years later, its infamy continues. Everyone knows the McDonald’s coffee case. It has been routinely cited as an example of how citizens have taken advantage of America’s legal system, but is that a fair rendition of the facts? Hot Coffee reveals what really happened to Stella Liebeck, the Albuquerque woman who spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonald’s, while exploring how and why the case garnered so much media attention, who funded the effort and to what end. After seeing this film, you will decide who really profited from spilling hot coffee.

Also, Grover Norquist is on The Colbert Report tonight. Should be interesting.
