Things are going to be a little different for the next couple of weeks on PBS. This week PBS is premiering the long awaited, and sure to be fascinatingly in-depth, brand-spanking new Ken Burns miniseries. It’s all about World War II and it airs over and over and over again. It doesn’t even finish this week, so it’s going to air over and over and over again next week. I predict many interviews and a plethora of panning-over photographs.
