Programming on the Booze Dancing Television Network for the week of April 6-13. All times are EST but your mileage may vary. Please note that due to the potential writer’s union strike, all programming may be, without notice, substituted with a very pretty, geometric, and mesmerizing test pattern with a slowly spinning Booze Dancing logo embedded with clever and rather pithy tweet-like glib phrases as well as images of naked ladies taken from NBC when they had similar labor issues way back when.

8:00 pm America’s Test Distillery. Food. The staff takes all the over-priced, worthless, bizarre grains they can find at at Whole Foods back to the test distillery to make really awful whiskey.

8:30 pm America’s Test Marketing Department. Food. The design staff makes ultra-retro cool labels for bottling really awful whiskey from the show at 8:00 pm, then gets the “product” on the website faster that you can say “make me a Red Edison with really Awful Whiskey, barrel aged bacon bitters and a dash of ennui; over helium-infused iced.”

11:00 pm The Booze Dancing Weekend News. Talking bobbleheads Sharon Summers and Dave Myles.
Sunday
7:00 am BDTV Sunday Morning. Magazine. Thoughtful pieces with plenty of scenes inside bars, mini-micro breweries and distilleries, and sounds of liquid, presumably whisky and beer, running a tad loudly almost like there’s a plumbing problem. Expect frequent bathroom runs.
8:00 am BDTV This Week. Magazine. Segments on British film maker Nigel Nigellson; the science of deep-fried craft beers; the art of cocktail napkins; the love of peat; the essence of hops; the innocence of yeast; the vapidness of evaporation; the dog days of summer.

Jason Lewis on the pending legislation to allow craft distilleries to sell swill and call it “single malt swill”.

10:00 am It’s Sunday so Sports, Reading the Newspaper, More Sports, Craft Beer, Sleeping, Sandwich Shop, Not Doing Anything Else Really, Whisky. Anthology. 6+ hours seems about right but that ain’t gonna happen. What are you thinking? Enjoy what’s left of the weekend, jeez.
4:00 pm Put It On Our Tab. Community Affairs. Host Hector Cohen-Kalayjian looks at the civic issues in our fair city that effects us all like why does Mikey’s Wine & Spirits Emporium only employ burly white women with tattoos of barrels, anchors, motorcycles, socket wrenches, AR15s, and bunnies when my cousin Harold really needs a job?
