FUNNY PEOPLE: CAROL BURNETTWednesday, September 14 - 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
C arol Burnett was the queen of TV comedy, the first woman to host her
own major variety show. The side-splitting clips of her hilarious show
will leave you smiling for days. So will the triumphant story of her rise to
stardom despite a disordered and difficult childhood. She is one of the
kindest people in show business. When you learn about what she had
to overcome, your admiration for her will grow. Explore the life of Carol
Burnett with Barry Bradford
FUNNY PEOPLE: DICK VAN DYKEWednesday, September 21 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
T he Dick Van Dyke Show is
remembered as one of the wittiest
situation comedies. What is less well remembered
is that it was a deceptive innovator that contrasts sharply with
the situation comedies of the 1950s. It ushers in a new era and was the
first sitcom to be set in suburbia, feature both the world of work AND
a fully developed home life and offer rich and consistent backstories for
all the characters. A modern housewife featured a professional woman
in the workplace. This unique presentation will highlight one of the most
iconic programs and early TV history.
BLAME IT ON COLUMBUSMonday, October 10 - 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
I magine Italian food without tomato sauce, the Irish without the
potato famine, or the spicy food of India without the chili pepper.
After the voyages of Columbus, plants, animals, technology, human
populations and ideas were exchanged between the Old World and
the New World. Rubber, silver and tobacco found their way to Europe.
Sweet potatoes saved China from famine. Chocolate became a favorite
beverage in Europe, and the taste for sweet things led to the sugar
plantations and slavery in the New World. Join Sara Drower and see
the impact of the voyages of Columbus echoed around the world.
FAMOUS COUPLES: BURNS AND ALLENWednesday, October 19 - 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

comediennes of all time! Her comic timing
and delivery are among the best of all time. In
this warm and affectionate multimedia biography,
the life and career of the hilarious George and
Grace gloriously spring to life. Did you know
Grace danced well enough to do duets with
Eleanor Powell and Fred Astaire? That she played
a detective in a comic murder mystery written just
for her? Or that when she ran for President she
received over 40,000 votes? This is a fun and
informative presentation you won't want to miss.
FAMOUS COUPLES: TRACY & HEPBURNWednesday, October 26 - 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
S pencer Tracy was one of the greatest movie actors. His career
is highlighted with great performance after great performance..
Katharine Hepburn like Spencer Tracy, had a long and distinguished
career on Broadway and in film as one of the top stars in America
before they met. Her screwball comedies her comic range. Her classic
films demonstrated that she was also dramatic actress of the first order.
Together they were dynamite. On-screen they engaged in a never ending
battle of the sexes. Offscreen they carried on a long extramarital affair.
Barry Bradford will look at their lives and careers, individually and
together.
