Make 'em Laugh: The Funny Business of America – "The Groundbreakers: When I'm Bad, I'm Better." Herein lies an episode of a six-part PBS miniseries hosted by Billy Crystal and narrated by Amy Sedaris. This week we get to learn all about those people who broke new ground in various areas of comedy, you know, everything from liberalism to censorship to goodness knows what.

Nova – "Secrets of the Parthenon." The Parthenon was built as a temple to Athena and has stood (mostly) the test of time. It's one of those things that's on my list, though I might wait until after Greece's 10 billion dollar restoration project is finished. Nova goes inside that restoration to see what's what.

Nova scienceNOW – "Episode 403."  ScienceNOW is the newest addition to the Nova family and is currently in its fourth season. Episodes in this series look at a variety of topics over the course of a single episode instead of just one thing for the whole hour.  Tonight the show looks at a couple of drugs that may help kids with muscular dystrophy and/or the elderly (and three other stories).

P.O.V. - “The Reckoning:  The Battle for the International Criminal Court.”  There is a man named Luis Moreno Ocampo.  Luis Moreno Ocampo is a prosecturo for the International Criminal Court.  He is also quite the globetrotter.  I don't imagine that he has fun with the globetrotting what with his prosecuting ofsupervillians, but we'll see in this episode.

Time Team America – "Topper, South Carolina."  Another week and another episode.  This time out, our team has three days... only three days... to figure out what happened to North America's first human inhabitants.  Sure, they lived here around 15,000 years ago... maybe earlier... but our guys are going to work it all out in only three days.  Three days people!  Three days!
