House of Life: The Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague. No bad jokes about cemeteries being a house of death here. This tale goes beyond the cemetery though to talk about the Jewish community in the city of Prague, the community that even the Nazis couldn't fully destroy.

Nova - “Doctors' Diaries (Part One).” Back in the day, 1987 to be precise, Nova began following a group of seven would-be doctors on their first day at Harvard Medical School. From time to time the show has gone back to find out how the folks are doing. This is one of those times.

Frontline – "Black Money." Did you know that multi-national corporations allegedly create slush funds and front companies in an effort to get more business?

Independent Lens – "Milking the Rhino." To me, that sounds like a bad fraternity joke, a thing that pledges are made to do. It isn't. It's actually about conserving the rhinos in rural Africa.

Jean-Michel Cousteau: Ocean Adventures – "Sea Ghosts." There are groups of beluga whales in the Arctic that are doing quite well, thank you very much. There are other groups that are doing not well at all. Cousteau finds himself terribly concerned with this problem and is going on a hunt to find out exactly why.

American Masters – "Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts." They could also have titled this "A Shard of Glass," because that's what it depicts, a twelve month snippet of Glass's life. I'm not going to lie to you, I like my title better; sure, maybe it's a little cheesy, but I do.
