Must TiVo TV: Weird U.S.

By at 11:23 am Thursday, Dec 16

The History Channel has a series called Weird U.S. I haven't seen it yet, but MrBaliHai's review has prompted me to create a season pass for it on my TiVo.
I happened to catch Weird U.S. on the History Channel last night, and I must say that it looks very promising. Yesterday's episode dealt with the bizarre case of the Wallet Man, french immigrant Antoine LeBlanc, who was executed in 1833 for murder, and subsequently skinned; his tanned hide was used to make wallets, purses, lampshades and book jackets!
