PBS Primetime Programming for The Week of July 1

Part of: PBS in Primetime

As Imagineer Quest 2007 continues, I’d like to reaffirm my resolve. Every opening and closing section of these PBS recaps will be devoted to getting someone who knows an Imagineer or who knows how I can become an Imagineer (besides simply filling out the form on the web, which I’ve done) to talk to me. There is little in this world that I want more (the health of friends and family is of the utmost importance, of course) than to be an Imagineer. It’s just one of those things. These are the people that make the magic happen, and I want to be a part of it.

 

Sunday, July 1:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Nature - “A Mystery in Alaska”. See, this title is a clever play on the movie Mystery, Alaska. Do you understand what Nature is doing here? They’re referencing a not terribly popular movie because at the time the episode went into production no one knew that the movie wouldn’t be terribly popular. It’s a play on words that negatively impacts the episode, but that could have helped had the movie done better (needless to say, this episode is a repeat).

9:00 - 10:30PM

Mystery! “Foyle’s War, Series IV”. Ah, that popular World War II whodunit is back, still starring Michael Kitchen as our titular hero. He’s fighting his own battle against murder, mystery, and betrayal on the south coast of England.

10:30 - 11:00PM

TBA

 

Monday, July 2:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Antiques Roadshow - “Reno (Hour Two)”. I’m not going to go out and say openly that Reno has nothing of value in it, but, if the shoe fits. Maybe that’s what they have, old shoes that somehow fit. That could be of value, right? Maybe they’re ruby slippers. Those are shoes that apparently fit, are old, and of value.

9:00 - 10:00PM

History Detectives. They’re back again this week! 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.
