I remember a Frontline about Syria. Realllly early on in their war.
Really. When no network covered it.
I learned so much. I said to dh, this is going to be HUGE.

Then we had isis and almost-daily coverage for several years.

The frontline reporting was amazing, embeds in the freedom fighters, up close and personal with their leaders. Cities already destroyed.

A Frontline episode five years ago about poor/working class families trying to make ends meet.

I haven’t see that in so long! Thanks for the reminder!

I forgot about this, we used to love it. I wonder if there is a way to watch again.

Oh my gosh yes. Manor house. Truly one of the first reality shows.

I watched (what was it called)... it was like Victorian London low class “house.” When it was on too.

But I had never heard of prairie house!! Because I have pioneers in my family tree...I have to watch it!

I loved both of them! My husband and I watched them when we were dating and had no cable. Now we do lots of Antiques Roadshow

Do you mean Bramwell? Not sure if it was on PBS (watched from the UK) but I loved that!

Frontline and American Experience are both great. And the Ken Burns documentaries.

I love that one! When the dad calls in the medic because he things he's starving to death and the doc examines him, says he's lost 30 lbs and is the picture of health.

I'm with you on most of these, but death in paradise is just goofy.

Mrs Wilson—was on Masterpiece a couple of months ago. The actress is the real Mrs Wilson’s granddaughter!

You can’t have a blank text as the main box - so you often see it written like this so you’re not repeating yourself in the main body of text.
