Tonight at 8PM, PBS will broadcast the fourth and final episode of America in Primetime, which from what I’ve read is not your typical documentary but rather a collection of interviews with actors, directors and writers attempting to explain how contemporary television has been influenced by decades worth of creativity and effort. Each episode has focused on an archetypal television character: Independent Woman, Man of the House, The Misfit and tonight, “The Crusader.” Among those interviewed for “The Crusader” were Hugh Laurie, Dennis Franz, Michael Chiklis, Gillian Anderson and Alan Alda, who will presumably be talking about M*A*S*H and the famous crusader he portrayed, Hawkeye Pierce.
Check your local listings to see if America in Primetime is airing on your PBS station tonight.
I bet it is! Thanks for the heads up!!
