Please schedule another showing of Morristown :Where America Survived. I would like to have my children watch this little taught piece of history. LOVED the Dolley Madison episode of American Experience! Keep 'em coming!

why on earth do you have no future schedule for MI5, which is probably the best acted, most thought provoking, and eagerly awaited series. why have you chosen to replace it by various other programs which fit the mindless insipid rubbish category?
Posted by Linda Malone (not verified) on Fri, 03/12/2010 - 3:41de la tarde
I, too, am very disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a future schedule for MI5! That program and New Tricks have brought my family back to regular viewing of Channel 9, and now we will have to resort to seeing MI5 on DVD and skipping PBS on Saturday nights. I'm afraid I have to agree that "insipid" perfectly describes most of the programs that have replaced our favorites. Please bring back MI5! We still love the Masterpiece series on Sunday. At least keep airing them.
Posted by Gary (not verified) on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 12:19de la mañana
Why indeed?! Bring back MI5!
MI5 is contemporary - politically thought provoking - and just plain fun. I would much rather see it than some of the recent fluff and multiply aired "specials" which have degenerated to the level and content of infomercials. There unfortunately appears to be a new direction explored in programming - and now I'm beginning to fear that even Frontline may not be secure!

I know that there is a fantastic new documentary on Irish music spanning five decades called "The Music of Ireland", hosted by Moya Brennan of Clannad. Is KCTS planning to air this documentary, and if so when? It would seem that around St. Patrick's Day would be an appropriate time to air a program about Irish music! Thanks.

Believe The Canadian Tenors will be performing on their upcoming PBS special, wondering when it will be aired?
Also performing will be David Foster and Sara McLaughlin.
