#PBS Timeline was a six-part half-hour 1989 series that presented historical events in a modern network news format. Former ABC newscaster Steve Bell (top) was the anchorman of the series, wearing medieval garb but sitting behind the standard desk and switching "live" to field correspondents such as Fran Dorn (bottom), seen here reporting on the Viking invasions. 

Filmed in England, Spain, and Turkey, the series chronicled the Crusaders' defeat in Jerusalem in 1187, the Black Plague in 1361, the fall of Byzantium in 1453, the Mongol Empire in 1247, and Granada in 1492.

There were even "commercials" thrown in for a humorous touch (including a spot for that new invention, the chimney, sponsored by the Stone Mason Guild).

Timeline, an international co-production with Maryland Public Television, was similar to an earlier CBS program, You Are There (1947–57), only in color and filmed on location.

Genuine question. You said that punk is “actively avoiding marketability, avoiding mainstream and operating outside the norms” and that’s why opp punk is not punk, but Mr Rogers is. Is Mr Rogers not incredibly marketable and mainstream? And ran on mainstream TV channels for years? How do these pieces fit together? Is it because he had many “haters” despite his popularity? But couldn’t the same be argued for pop punk stars? What am I missing?

Mr Roger’s Neighborhood ran on PBS. PBS is not network television. It is not made to be marketable. It is a public service, and one that Mr Rogers went to Congress to argue for funding for.

Because Mr Rogers did not have to sell ad time, he had much more control over the format and content of his show. At the height of Jim Crow when people were literally closing pools rather than de-segregate, Mr Rogers had an episode where he and a black cast member took their shoes off and dipped their feet in a kiddie pool together. He was able to share his values of integration and racial equity in ways many would argue would never have been possible had MRN been on a for-profit network.

Mr Rogers also hated most contemporary children’s shows and worried about children’s attentions spans, so he exclusively used long cuts without editing unless you were taking a trip to Make Believe. He eschewed all contemporary children’s television norms and did not shop Mr Rogers around to for profit companies, but refused to make a “marketable” show in favor of his beliefs.

You are missing all of the corporate and capitalist structures. Just because something BECAME popular DESPITE its anti capitalist anti-market structure does not make it less punk. It may make fans less punk, depending on context, but that’s all.

FNX - First Nations Experience

First Nations Experience (FNX) is the first and only national broadcast television network in the United States exclusively devoted to Native American and World Indigenous content. Through Native-produced and themed documentaries, dramatic series, nature, cooking, gardening, children's and arts programming, FNX strives to accurately illustrate the lives and cultures of Native people around the world.

Created as a shared vision between Founding Partners, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and the San Bernardino Community College District, FNX is owned by and originates from the studios of KVCR-PBS San Bernardino. FNX began terrestrial broadcast in the Los Angeles area on September 25, 2011 and went national on November 1, 2014 via the Public Television Interconnect System (PBS satellite AMC - 21 Channel SD08), making the non-profit channel available to PBS affiliates, community and tribal stations, and cable television service providers across the country.

At the ceremonial unity launch of FNX in February 2011, Cherokee actor Wes Studi confessed he didn't see this coming. "Thank you for proving me wrong," Studi said, speaking at the KVCR/FNX studios in San Bernardino, California. "I once said that I didn't think in my lifetime I'd see a TV channel dedicated to Indian people like you and me, people who are rarely seen on screen in authentic ways. We're making history with this powerful new media tool. This is something I can tell my grandchildren about -- I'll tell them I was there when it launched."

San Manuel Tribal Chairman James Ramos said FNX is "fulfilling a dream our ancestors had ... using the resources we have built through gaming. It's important that people know what our ancestors had to go through so we could be here today. It's time for us to change negative perceptions about indigenous peoples in mainstream audiences. We need to stand together as one voice and make things better for our people."

Ramos added context from his own tribe's past. "There was a time in California's history when there was an effort to get rid of Indian people; we were shot and killed here in the San Bernardino Mountains," Ramos said. "Many people never heard that story, and today some people don't want to talk about that history. But it's important that we do so that we can learn from the past and move forward working together for a better future."

FNX is working diligently to obtain channel carriage in as many communities as possible across the United States. Currently, FNX is carried by 22 affiliate stations broadcasting into 25 states from Alaska to New York and has a potential viewing audience of more than 74.5 million households across the United States! Several additional stations have also begun streaming FNX digitally throughout their communities and states. More new stations are always coming on board, so stay tuned -- FNX may be available in your city very soon! If you'd like to get FNX carried in your community, please reach out to your local stations, cable and satellite service providers. I can't recommend FNX enough and best of all it is totally free!

HBO Max’s biographical drama series ‘Julia’ revolves around the incredibly moving life of television chef and author Julia Child, who hosted the famed and influential cooking show titled ‘The French Chef.’ The series depicts Julia’s efforts to launch her show on WGBH-TV upon overcoming the sexism of the television industry of the early 1960s.

In the series, Julia appears in P. Albert Duhamel’s book review show ‘I’ve Been Reading’ to promote her cookbook ‘Mastering the Art of French Cooking.’ Since Julia’s well-received appearance acts as a stepping stone for her to create her cooking series, one must be wondering about the authenticity of Duhamel and his show. Well, here’s everything you need to know

#PBS American Experience airs documentaries about important or interesting events and people in American history. The PBS series began during the 1988-89 season and continues today. In 1992, one episode chronicled the life of scientist Rachel Carson (above), who risked her health and reputation to fight for the environment by publishing Silent Spring, an exposé on the chemical industry and its unregulated use of DDT.

I’ve been watching Ken Burns’ Jazz for the last week or so & now I’m totally psyched to listen to jazz! So good! Glad I finally watched it!

It’s on Kanopy but make sure you have enough credits…2 per episode. You CAN have more than one library card in Kanopy & it will automatically switch when you run out of credits (many metro areas & even states have reciprocity agreements).

I used PBS Passport, which you get for a $5/month donation to your local PBS Station (they deserve it a lot more than any entertainment corporation).
