Just back from PBS showcase in Dallas, where we got a preview of Ken Burns’ THE WAR<\/strong><\/a>, coming this Fall, as well as what’s coming up on AMERICAN MASTERS <\/a><\/strong>(Les Paul!!! … finally), AMERICAN EXPERIENCE<\/strong><\/a>, NOVA<\/a><\/strong>, FRONTLINE<\/a><\/strong> and more. BANISHED, a film by Marco Williams that screened at this year’s Nashville Film Festival<\/a><\/strong>, is coming to Independent Lens. There’s also a great three-part series by famed producer David Grubin on THE MYSTERIOUS HUMAN HEART. So much more to write about, including a world made of words (WORD WORLD) and a grammar-defending super hero (WORD GIRL) whose nemesis is a guy named “The Butcher.” Sounds like me when I was ten, without the grammar-defending thing. Mike the butcher scared me. I also had time for a brief visit to the Sixth Floor Museum<\/a><\/strong>, housed in the former Texas School Book Repository<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

One announcement that got everyone excited (especially the ladies, but hey, real men, I’m told, read Jane Austen, according to a profile on Facebook) is that MASTERPIECE THEATER<\/strong><\/a> will broadcast adaptations of all of Austen’s six novels, plus a new drama based on her life. It’s the first time in television history that her books have been broadcast as a complete collection.<\/p>\n

From the news release<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Beginning in January 2008 on PBS, MASTERPIECE THEATRE is inviting viewers to tune in on Sunday nights for “The Complete Jane Austen”: new presentations of Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and Sense and Sensibility. The lineup will also include the acclaimed Emma starring Kate Beckinsale, and Pride and Prejudice, the Emmy award-winning miniseries that made Colin Firth a heartthrob.<\/p>\n

(The ladies at the luncheon got a little crazy when that last bit of info was announced )<\/p>\n

“Miss Austen Regrets,” a true story based on Jane Austen’s own letters and diaries, will be part of the four-month marathon.<\/p>\n
