PBS Primetime Programming for the Week of November 22

Part of: PBS in Primetime

I'm not going to get into it, but the pecan pie thing is done, and it's not done.  It's one of those things that has to do with the difference in time between my writing this and your reading it.  What I'm going to tell you next is true, however, or, at the very least, it will be true.  The pecan pie went really well, not perfectly, but really well.  Why?  Read on, MacDuff.

 

Sunday, November 22:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Nature – "The Cheetah Orphans.” After two cheetahs are orphaned a documentary filmmaker just happens to adopt them. He plans on returning them to the wild, but will he or will he grow too attached? Either way, he'll be able to make a film about it and pocket some change.

9:00 – 10:30PM

Masterpiece Contemporary – "Collision."  There once was a movie named Crash.  It dealt with a crash or two or three in Los Angeles.  This should not be confused with that, this tells the story of 10 different people involved in a huge road accident, but not a crash, a collision.  Maybe that movie was based on this one.  Maybe vice versa.  Maybe they actually have nothing to do with each other.  I just don't know.

10:30 – 11:00PM

PBS Previews: National Parks. Soon, but not yet, PBS will airing a Ken Burns special all about our national parks. Apparently he thinks they were one of America’s best ideas. I know that because “America’s Best Idea” is the subtitle for the series. I’m like Sherlock Holmes.

 

Monday, November 23:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Antiques Roadshow – "Relative Riches."  Did your grandmother once tell you that her great-great-granduncle got your favorite footstool from his grandfather, IKEA?  It may or may not be true.  This episode takes a look at some allegedly ancient and certainly handed down under the auspices of being so "antiques."  Find out if said objects were in fact antiques. 

9:00 – 10:00PM

American Experience – "The 1930s – Seabiscuit."  In the fourth portion of a five-part American Experience experience, the 1930s continue to unspool.  This particular episode deals with that thing Spider-Man rode (but I never actually bought that he was on a horse), you know, Seabiscuit.  Seriously, have you seen the movie?
