PBS Documentaries
Curious to know if anyone else enjoys these, and which are your favorites.
Personally, I love Ken Burns' masterpieces, but have to take the "darker" ones a little at the time. LOVE his Country Music ! |
I like the series American Experience and American Masters.

Thanks for starting this thread. I’ve been watching Frontline PBS.
|
Frontline is one of my favorites! Especially since they started putting episodes up on Youtube.

I’m up watching this on Frontline PBS. This is the very reason why I won’t drive behind or around semi trucks if I don’t have to. So dangerous.

I love PBS! The Ken Burns series on the “History of Baseball” remains one of my favorites.
And cheerfulgreek, the series on the dangers of semi truck rigs has really hit home with me; I thought about it as we drove back and forth to Nashville, TN, over the weekend. |
I watch a lot of American history. I don’t necessarily focus on PBS specifically, but I’m currently watching a series on the Ku Klux Klan that just happens to be by PBS. It’s really interesting.

I mostly watch PBS, non-fiction and dramas. (I mostly watch on Passport, which comes with a donation to your local PBS station.)
I loved the American Experience about the origins of the game Monopoly. The US & the Holocaust was excellent (though I had to watch an episode of Mary Berry's Favorites after each one, since they made me angry.) And the Ben Franklin one was terrific. |

Well, a lot of the parasites that plagued the dinosaurs have gone extinct, so I’d only be able to go off of modern fleas/ticks and other present day parasites behavior. I mean, if we’re talking dinosaurs and fleas for example …. fleas can be enticed to take blood from lizards, but they generally will not seek out reptiles in nature, probably because there’s little place for concealment. But, if dinosaurs had permanent or semi-permanent resting areas, then I would think these areas made ideal domains for flea larvae. So, it’s possible that a few flea larvae actually developed under the skin of dinosaurs, just as some do today on mammals. And back then, fleas could have also possibly mechanically transmitted viruses to dinosaurs just as present day fleas do the myxomatosis virus of rabbits. I’m just guessing though. It’s hard to determine if I could or not, but I told her yes because she already thinks I’m Super Mom. :p ETA: this is the series she’s been watching on PBS. https://youtu.be/i5cXQj80PxM |
