Do you ever love a book so much you slow down your reading of it because you just don't want to get to the end and leave those characters behind?
That's how I am with the new season of "All Creatures Great and Small." PBS Passport (streaming access for min $5/month donors) lets me binge watch the whole season, but I'm allowing myself one episode a week so it won't be over yet.
The #AmericanRevolution -- new 6 part #documentary series by #KenBurns -- airs on #KQED & other #PBS stations starting on Sun 12/16 @ 8 pm
Burns is an unparalleled documentarian & I have a copy of most of his work on #DVD, including the complete multi disc sets on the #CivilWar #WWII, the #VietnamWar, #Baseball & #Jazz.
I'm looking forward to watching this series & to buying it when it comes out on DVD too.

“Born Belvagene Melton in 1932 in Monroe, Louisiana, she was the oldest of four children. In the early 1940s, she and her family moved west to Oakland, where she attended public schools. She graduated from Berkeley High School in 1951, becoming the first in her family to get a high school diploma. Although she was accepted to San Francisco State University, she did not attend because her family could not afford the tuition.”

– Belva Davis, believed to be the first Black female TV reporter in the western United States, died on Sept. 24, 2025 at age 92. In this "Sunday Morning" profile of Davis that aired on Feb. 26, 2023, "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker (who, like many journalists, walked in her footsteps) looked back at her career, and described how making a dream a reality became her legacy.
