PBS Primetime Programming for the Week of September 13

Part of: PBS in Primetime

Last week I promised that I would try to come up with some better examples of how and why time is amazing. I'm not sure that I have any great examples of that this week. I mean, if I could save time in a bottle that would be pretty amazing, and that would be a great example, but, sadly, I can't save time in a bottle. Boy though, there are tons of things I'd like to do if I could.

Sunday, September 13:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Nature - "The Good, the Bad, and the Grizzly." Okay, this I love. This is my kind of title for a show. It's moderately humorous, it tells you exactly what the show is about, and it references a really, really good movie. Go Nature, I applaud you.

9:00 - 10:30PM

Masterpiece Mystery! - "Inspector Lewis, Series II: Life Born of Fire." For those of you not steeped in British police drama culture, "Inspector Lewis" is a spinoff of Inspector Morse. For his series, Lewis heads to Oxford to solve crimes (this time he squares off against a serial killer). I'll certainly be watching (or will have watched it already depending on how things work out).

10:30 - 11:00PM

Yellowstone: Land to Life. Forget the land, it's all about the pic-i-nic baskets (provided that darn Ranger doesn't stop Yogi and Boo Boo from getting them). Actually, I shouldn't jest, this special was filmed over the course of two years and covers every season (perhaps twice) in the park.


Monday, September 14:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Antiques Roadshow "Tucson (Hour Three)." The Roadshow has gone west, landing smack dab in the middle of Tucson. It would be better if they were in Winslow, so that they could be standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, it’d be such a fine sight to see. Take it easy, don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.

9:00 - 10:00PM

History Detectives. They’re back again! Those History Detectives are going to be puzzling out clues, working the scene of the crime, and hoping against hope to solve that greatest mystery of them all: how did Fred Flintstone manage to run fast enough that his big, heavy car started to move? Seriously now, that’s a question about history and one I feel ought to be answered sooner rather than later.
