Royal Wedding, More Royal Wedding, Friday Night Lights

The Royal Wedding, 4 a.m.-ish, various networks

I got up and watched Charles and Diana’s wedding. July 1981. Crack of dawn, there I was, glued to the TV. Loved her. Loved the story. Of course, we know how that all turned out (I stayed up all night when she was in the car crash, glued to CNN, crying my eyes out). To me, all of that sort of taints the pomp and pageantry of this, since really, aren’t almost all of us thinking, “Good luck, Kate. Hope the apple fell really far from the tree.” Today, I will sleep in, but I did not want you to miss it.

The Royal Wedding: Modern Majesty, 8 p.m., CBS

And if you did oversleep, CBS is kind enough to have created a one-hour “highlights reel” for you. Enjoy.

Friday Night Lights, 8 p.m., NBC

I loved how Julie went to college and made no friends. Proves my point about what a distant, cold, dead-inside witch she is. Tonight’s Vince’s father gets out of jail and returns home. This is not good news for anyone.
