New on our PVR speed-dial: BBC America's Holiday Showdown. Two British families each pick their favorite vacation hotspot and the other family has to go along and "enjoy." Last week, one family chose Cancun while the other chose to do missionary work in Africa. This week's (which we haven't yet viewed) has the combo of Las Vegas and Yellowstone National Park. The chubby little kid of the Vegas-loving family declares (in the preview) "Anyone who doesn't just love Vegas is...stupid!"

In my first pass through the new Saturday edition of The Wall Street Journal, I have nothing bad to say. On the other hand, I have nothing all the wonderful to say either. I like it, but there’s nothing that seems that different than its Friday edition which has a heavy accent on lifestyle content.

Saturdays are a tough day for newspapers. Over the years, dailies have tried some innovative features to make the Saturday edition stand out. My first newspaper, The Allentown Morning Call used to have a tabloid Saturday edition called The Weekender (maybe they still do). Anyway, it was loaded with arts and entertainment content, including detailed listings. It leads you to believe that a national newspaper, without local content, has its challenges in producing a Saturday edition.. Maybe it’s why USA Today doesn’t have a Saturday edition?

Well, I wish the WSJ luck. I am a diehard reader of “the daily diary of the America Dream.” Saturdays, perhaps I’d rather relax than dream.
