For Better or Werts : TV Worth Watching

WEIRD & WILD: Killer weather!

Because there's just not enough scary disaster on TV (unless you count pretty much every episode of Maury), cable is following up Discovery Channel's just-concluded Shark Week with The Weather Channel's current Hurricane Week: Extreme Impact.

Even Brian Williams shows up, now that Weather is part of the NBC corporate family (alongside other formerly independent channels like Oxygen). In His Own Words: Brian Williams on Hurricane Katrina (Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET, repeats Saturday at 8 p.m. ET, Weather) spotlights the NBC anchor's personal on-site coverage of 2005's devastation, as Williams looks back on the epic experience.

Also in the eye of things: five new editions of Storm Stories, including Monday's "Ivan Dome Home" (Monday at 8 p.m. ET) and Tuesday's "Wilma in Cancun" (Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET) and "Mitch in Honduras" (Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. ET, all on Weather). Not to mention Weather Channel's current-season hurricane coverage on-air and online.

Weather's Hurricane Week continues through Aug. 15.

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
