They did an awesome one on Lucille Ball (for REELZ network) a few years back, and the last one we attended last year was a series of 3 on "Mysteries of Oz - 85 questions". But my favorite is the one they did on Karen Carpenter a few years back - prior bios on her were significantly "framed" by her brother, but this one really told the true story. To me, she's the voice of Christmas - even more so than Bing.

sorry, I added to it . . .
The only connection between the Carpenters and the Vikings I could find is that the Vikings at one point had a cheerleader by the name of Karen Carpenter. So there you go!

I'm not sure why anyone thinks this would be an easy game or GB would win big. The Vikings beat Detroit in Detroit and then lost to the Bears on basically a walk off kick return into FG territory. McCarthy may not be very good right now but that team can absolutely win in Lambeau.
