A new season of Michael Feinstein's American Songbook debuts this weekend on PBS. Consult, as we say in the TV business, your local listings.
And for those of you who live in Los Angeles: Tuesday evening at 7:30 PM, KCET (Channel 28) is rerunning an episode of Huell Howser's show in which he toured Forrest J Ackerman's famous home full of s-f and monster stuff. Mr. Howser, who passed away earlier this year, was a jovial man who produced interesting TV programs about people and places he visited. He seemed to like everything he came across and as I recall, he was a lot more impressed by Forry Ackerman and his home than I was when I first visited the original Ackermansion at age 16. But it's well worth DVRing and watching.
