PBS Primetime Programming for the Week of November 23

Part of: PBS in Primetime

Ah, the Sword in the Stone ride. It's a dream, it's a fantasy, it's something that one day, maybe, possibly, just might be a reality. Okay, it'll probably never be a reality.

10:30 – 11:00PM

There are a number of really great choices that I have off the top of my head, but I’m sure I’m missing some outstanding ones; feel free to comment below.

Antiques Roadshow - “Milwaukee (Hour Three).” Wow, Milwaukee. This repeat episode has the show going to the land of beer.
