I wanna watch them both but most likely I'll be watching Jessica Lynch. I'll probably write an article about it on my website after the movie.

Since I watched the Eliz. Smart interview with Katie Courice, I know all I need to know about that....I'm not interested in either choice. I'll just curl up with a good book---educational, not fictional.....

Josephine, I'm one who watches nearly no tv. However, I try to never miss any new episode or even reruns of all 3 Law and Order shows.

Neither...I gotta work and there is a football game on!

LOL Yes there is a football game on... But the Rams and Baltimore aren't that entertaining IMHO.. I can't stand watching the Ravens.
However everytime I play an exhibition football game on the computer I always play in Baltimore's stadium lol I like the way it looks

I think I will watch the Rams. My grandmother mentioned she was going to watch the Smart Story. Both were covered by the media so I have no desire to see the movies.

I still think the Smart story was too overhyped. I really think she ran away from home and just got into trouble. I don't believe any of the stuff about her being abducted

LOL Male bashing channels?

The movies on the channels seem to drive home the idea that women are always being battered, victimized or abused by MEN...for reasons known only to her, my wife "feeds" on such fare.
The only digression she makes is "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" on USA, which is a close mirror of the same message.

CBS.....9:00 pm Eastern/8:00 pm Central: "The Elizabeth Smart Story"
NBC.....9:00 pm Eastern/8:00 pm Central: "The Jessica Lynch Story"
I am not a TV watcher, prefer to watch news and weather.
Occasionally watch other shows, but nothing really interests me on television.

Neither *grins* I don't watch TV. I may put in my copy of Evita or read a book
I havn't turned on the TV for TV's sake since 9/11 and don't intend to restart anytime soon.

I believe I will watch the Jessica Lynch story. The reason is because of who is airing it. I have no time for CBS!! hehe.

Stand up to her like I do my wife. The floor doesn't hurt that much and the swelling on my face is usually gone by morning.

Well, I'm watching "Saving Jessica Lynch" for two reasons - 1) it's NBC, and 2) it's NBC.

When they said "...with limited commercial interruption," they weren't kidding! It's 40 minutes into it and they're just now taking the first break.
Did anybody else yell and scream at the TV during the firefight?

Well, folks...I placed a "must see" icon on "Saving Jessica Lynch", and watched it (while the wife was fuming in the background, esp. when I offered commentary on the movie, based on what I know of the situation).
I gave it an "8" for effort, since most of it was through the eyes of the Iraqi lawyer who brought the Marines the first inkling that PFC Lynch was alive.
Thankfully, it didn't try to add new information...however, I'd be interested in hearing what Jessica has to say about it (they portrayed her as being "shell-shocked" from the outset, which I believe does her a grave disservice).

They made up for the commercials after the 40 minutes. LOL!!
