PBS Primetime Programming for the Week of November 1

Part of: PBS in Primetime

I complained about this around Labor Day, and now that we're post-Halloween I'm going to complain about this again. See, before Labor Day there was Halloween stuff out and now, I kid you not, I actually saw Christmas stuff out before Halloween. Please, tell me that's not excessive. You can't, can you?


Sunday, November 1:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Nature - "Born Wild: The First Days of Life." Head out on the highway. Looking for adventure. And whatever comes our way. Yeah, darlin' go make it happen. Take the world in a love embrace. You're a marmoset and you've just been born. Or a moose or an elephant or a gorilla. How you gonna live your life? Born to be wild.

9:00 - 10:30PM

Masterpiece Contemporary - "Place of Execution." Juliet Stevenson as a high-profile TV journalist. Doctor Who is still around to host. The story deals with the journalist looking into the issues surrounding the 40-year-old disappearance of a 13-year-old girl. It's based on Val McDermid's novel, and did I mention that the Doctor is hosting, because he is.

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, November 2:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Antiques Roadshow - "Louisville (Hour One)". I imagine that this city is going to be a home run for the series. They're really going to knock one out of the park here. They're going to put a few runs on the board by going yard. They're going to, unquestionably, get the long ball working here. In short, they're going to be Sluggers.

9:00 - 10:00PM

American Experience - "The 1930s - Civilian Conservation Corps" In the second bit of a five-part American Experience experience, the 1930s continue, most specifically with the CCC, it was one of Roosevelt's New Deal dealie-os, the expansion of the government thing. Learn all about the CCC, the good and the possibly not so good.
