Finally tonight: America's pastor and why the Billy Graham special on Channel 7 is making television better tonight than most evenings.

On most evenings, you're at the mercy of merciless network television executives bent on beaming new age depravity, nudity and profanity into your homes. Themes are growing in shamelessness, while attire is shrinking without bashfulness, and most of that is just during the commercials.

On most evenings, family hour is reduced to the few moments you can relax your fingers, so your kids can peer through them as your hands cover their eyes. But tonight at 9:00, there's an hour that will bless your family immensely with no risk, no worries and no regrets.

No one is more eloquent in proclaiming the Gospel message than Reverend Graham and the time spent listening cannot hurt you -- which is a lot more than can be said about television on most evenings.
