Pre-empted by the Pope

PBS. Gotta love 'em. For months, Sondheim's Passion in concert starring Patti LuPone and Audra McDonald, has been slated for broadcast on March 31 as part of the "Live from the Lincoln Center" series. So the local affiliate decided to delay the broadcast of the current "Live from the Lincoln Center" by two days. Go figure. Then, at the last minute "Not Quite As Live from the Lincoln Center" was then preempted by a couple of documentaries on the life of the recently departed Pope. Hmmm...exchanging Passion for the Pope. There's something worth examining there, but I can't for the life of me decide what it is.
