PBS Primetime Programming for the Week of June 7

Part of: PBS in Primetime

I actually don't really want to spend a lot of time on the specifics of what we're going to witness on the Heart of Gold's viewscreen during the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ride.  I think that it's actually a pretty easy story to translate from its previous forms into this one.  So, in future weeks we'll discuss some bigger (and smaller) picture elements, but I can't really leave us with Vogons, can I?

 

Sunday, June 7:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Nature - “Underdogs".  Rather than going into some huge thing about the famed cartoon character or make making some pseudo-unnecessary, I'm going to just give the short listing information I have for this show verbatim – "Extreme doggie makeover!"  I really don't have to say anything else, do I?   

9:00 – 10:30PM

Masterpiece Mystery! – "Foyle's War, Series V – Broken Souls." This is it for our good friend Christopher Foyle, at least the bits that relate to World War II. Series V of Foyle's War feature the end of the war and, only very briefly, the start of the peace. But will Foyle finally find piece? Watch and see.

10:30 – 11:00PM

From the Top at Carnegie Hall Special Edition – "Star Quality."  Kids these days, they think they can run the world.  At the very least, they think that they can play musical instruments.  Some of them certainly can, particularly Ji-Yong Kim and Alice Ivy-Pemberton.  Trust me.  Watch and you'll find out.

 

Monday, June 8:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Antiques Roadshow “Bismarck (Hour Two).  I'm going to level with you, I know very little about Bismarck, North Dakota. I know very little about the Dakotas in general. I've driven across the country twice, once down south and once more middle/northish, but I never made it to either Dakota. I wanted to, what with Mt. Rushmore being in one of the Dakotas, but I never got there. The Antiques Roadshow, however, did.

9:00 – 10:00PM

American Experience - “The Living Weapon”.  All about the awesomeness that is germ warfare, and our development thereof in the early 1940s and beyond.  Okay, maybe “awesome” isn’t the right word, maybe “ridonkulous destructive power” is.
