papyrusbeetle Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I can't imagine movies without Bob Hope. They just announced on one of our local PBS channels, this new episode of "American Experience". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Markoff Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Whew. Is that series still running? What about 'American Masters'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papyrusbeetle Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Actually, I'm pretty sure the "promo" said "American Experience". I am not CRAZY about the "American Masters" series because they always seem to want to de-construct the HERO they are profiling. Just give us the facts, great photos and film footage, and not current political opinion, please. Walt Disney doesn't need any criticism---this man was terrific. Neither does Gutzon Borglum, the creator of Mount Rushmore. The PBS history shows can be a bit petty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Markoff Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I'm not contradicting you nor doubting you. Just curious enough about your news item to want to confirm that both shows are still ongoing. I wasn't aware of their status either way. It seems to me that PBS periodically comes under fire these days, from conservative lawmakers seeking its destruction (it's all become a political football) so I've long since lost interest in public TV. I like stability! I used to be a fan of both shows. As I recall, they don't just offer "biographies"--I've seen scads of stage plays and unusual music performances via these two programs. The archived episodes --wherever they are--hopefully will remain available for a long time and hopefully they will always show what normal society was like before being besieged by all this carping, whingeing, phony, whitewashing PC revisionism.
