PBS Gets PC…

By James Poniewozik | @poniewozik | April 22, 2009 | +

…no, the other kind of PC. Starting today, PBS goes the way of Hulu, making several programs available streaming on your computer via the PBS Video portal, including Masterpiece (including the recent Little Dorrit), Antiques Roadshow, Frontline and other public TV programs. (PBS Kids has been streaming children’s shows online since fall.)

PBS is also using the beta site to debut  Time Team America before its launch on regular TV this summer. Despite the title, the show—which visits U.S. archaeological dig sites—has nothing to do with this magazine, time travel or filthy-mouthed marionettes having sex.

    TV Tonight: The Loving Story

    For Richard and Mildred Loving, their marriage was a pretty simple matter. They grew up in a small Virginia town where everyone pretty much knew everyone, fell in love (not without some obstacles; she found him “arrogant” at first) and got hitched.

    For the enforcers of Virginia’s anti-miscegenation laws, their marriage was also a simple matter: Richard was white and Mildred was black.

    Kevin Barnes’ 11th album is a frenetic, attention-starved record that, if it were a child, would almost certainly be put on Ritalin.

    This is pretty awesome. I hope they put on more of their American Experience documentaries. I wonder why they haven’t done more of this before.

    “Team America: Time Police” sounds like a winning sequel, imo.

    Cool. Thanks for the heads up JP. I love ‘Little Dorrit’ and keep forgetting to set it up on DVR. Now I can catch up. Nice.
