I saw tv worth watching last night.
It was about Frank Lloyd Wright. It was riveting.
Burns introduces you to the man, and then looks at his most famous and
prolific period, from age 60 to his death.
The second half talks about the major projects - Fallingwater, the
Guggenheim, the Johnson Wax building - and some of the less so, plus the Usonian
homes and Taliesin West and a bunch of other stuff.
The story of how he designed Fallingwater is amazing. I couldn't get
enough of this building. You wanted to be there and feel the rushing
water and explore every nook and cranny.
Wright's personal eccentricities, scandals, enmities and philosophy had a
direct effect on his career, and on how his work was
perceived, both during his lifetime and in the years since his death.

I saw it too. Burns never fails to amaze me.
And yes, the story of how Fallingwater was drawn in its entirety
in less than three hours was the most electrifying segment of the
documentary. If anyone ever doubted Wright's genius, that story
would convince them.

A couple of more FLW tidbits.

The movie, A Summer Place, takes place in a stunning FLW house on the
beach.

I never doubted his genius
we were in AZ around this time last year and visited several of his creations including Taliesin West.
Amazing stuff.
Taliesin West still houses students following in his theoretical footsteps.

I get along fine w/o cable. If I had it, I'd watch even more TV than I already do. Last time I had cable I stayed up way too late watching Nick at Nite. Right now, I see cable as a luxury expense.

My thoughts exactly, George. But my husband has to have instant access to any channel that might possibly carry Notre Dame football, plus he's a WWII fanatic and watches Hitler rant and rave every night on the History channel.
