The Ten Commandments
It's Easter, and the Passover season, which means it's that time of year again for ABC to broadcast the 1956 version of "The Ten Commandments". Sure, by today's standards it's too long, it's corny and it's over the top. But really, who does not love Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner. It's got a cast of thousands (literally), and the special effects are very cool for their time - not in CGI either. It's the one time a year other than Christmas, where the country sits down together to learn about God's law, and how he saves those who put their trust in Him. Here's hoping that ABC continues this tradition as long as there's TV. So let it be written, so let it be done.

If ABC doesn't continue with the tradition, I have the DVD. Thanks, Costco!
