childeroland October 9, 2021 Share October 9, 2021 It would be nice if they made the Ralph Ellison episode available. Even my library system doesn't have it. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/122717-american-masters/#findComment-7050884
tessaray October 9, 2021 Author Share October 9, 2021 You could always ask your local library to order the DVD. Looks to be about $50. For some reason it isn't available to buy directly. From the American Masters page on the episode: A DVD of “Ralph Ellison: An American Journey”, containing an additional hour of video commentary and analysis can be purchased from California Newsreel. I couldn't get it to come up on the AM page on Pbs.org but a Google search brought it up. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/122717-american-masters/#findComment-7051046

chediavolo June 16, 2022 Share June 16, 2022 Yikes. Does no one watch anymore? “Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road “ documentary? Did anyone See it? So very talented but at such a cost. Thought it was pretty good. I feel so bad that he has to live the way he does. And then there is Dennis drowning in the 80’s. 😞 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/122717-american-masters/#findComment-7509691
tessaray October 7, 2022 Author Share October 7, 2022 My local PBS station is running the Loretta Lynn episode from 2016 on Friday evening. (10/07) I'm not a country fan but with all the stories after her passing, I started to remember what a huge presence she was when I was a kid. It might be interesting. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/122717-american-masters/#findComment-7688502
