	'Masterpiece Theater' revisits the 'Queen' in masterly fashion \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Not that this Sunday's "The Virgin Queen" isn't worthy of the 34-year history of "Masterpiece Theater" as TV's pre-eminent dramatic anthology series.
		Still, this is the second time the life of Good Queen Bess has been dramatized on "Masterpiece Theatre," and she's not alone in the remake ranks.
		If "Masterpiece Theatre" has seemed a little tired lately, it's not because the quality of the productions has eroded, but because the material is looking shopworn.

		When considering Masterpiece Theatre, it is first important to stipulate that the series is not, in any important way, British.
		Like Shakespeare in the Park, Masterpiece Theatre is first and foremost a curatorial institution devoted to the preservation of a cultural ideal.
		Norman Lear's All in the Family began two days after Masterpiece Theatre in 1971; Roots came along on ABC in 1977; and by the 1980s, cable networks like AandE and Bravo were plucking classy, British notes, too.

		"Masterpiece Theatre" is now in its fourth decade, a rare achievement for any kind of TV show anywhere.

		On one hand, the clear disadvantage of the show is the lack of several important Tretyakov possessions such as Serov’s early masterpieces “Girl with Peaches” and “Girl in the Sunlight.” These works are important not only for any consideration of Serov, but of Russian art in general.
		Drawings and engravings of landscapes, illustrations for the Ivan Krylov fables, theater sketches, and drawings of animals are all presented at the show.
		Serov’s “smart portraits” made him the most significant and in-demand portraitist in Russia in the 1890s and the first decade of the 20th century.

	'Masterpiece' Theater
		Any anthology of Alfred Hitchcock films that dares to call itself "The Masterpiece Collection" but doesn't include the acclaimed filmmaker's 1946 "Notorious" (to my mind the most perfect Hitchcock film ever), but does include the 1972 "Frenzy" (good late Hitchcock, but no masterpiece), is a little bit suspect.
		-- but what "The Masterpiece Collection" has going for it is, if not depth, then variety.
		Beginning with 1942's fl-and-white "Saboteur" and ending with the director's last film, "Family Plot" (1976), "The Masterpiece Collection" showcases Hitchcock's enormous range, from fl comedy (1955's "The Trouble With Harry") to straight-up horror (1963's "The Birds") to complex dramas of psycho-sexual pathology (1948's "Rope," 1960's "Psycho" and 1964's "Marnie").

	Masterpiece Theater: Covent Garden Blooms Anew Dance Magazine - Find Articles
		The new beginning has been heralded by two great galas, the first, on December 1, attended by the Queen, the principal backers of the project, and the local press and shown live on British television, with a second identical program on the following Saturday night for the general public.
		The stage equipment is now state-of-the-art instead of basically turn-of-the-last-century, and within the greatly enlarged building there is a brand new small studio theater, where I saw a special Nutcracker danced by school kids (think Eliot Feld's Ballet Tech School) for school kids.
		Additionally, in the main building for the first time there are rehearsal and practice studios for the Royal Ballet, which ever since it moved to Covent Garden fifty-five years ago was a long subway ride away in far-off Hammersmith.

	Masterpiece Theater
		One of my fondest memories of growing up are the Sunday evenings spent sprawled on the floor of our family room working on 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles while my parent settled in to watch PBS's fine selection of imported British drama.
		The centerpiece of PBS's British programming was, and probably still is, Masterpiece Theater.
		As a youth I assumed this was the name of the actual British series but eventually leaned that the programs were purchased separately and shown under the MT banner for the benefit of American audiences (a system they would employ again with great success with the Mystery series).

		Their sound effects accouterments assembled, Moran and company began the most arduous part of preparing their version of Fearless Fighters: transcribing the entirety of the film's original dubbed dialogue into a typed script and then carefully matching their own live readings up with the movement of the screen actors' mouths.

		Their latest strategy: take away the right to watch socially unredeeming television programs like "Baywatch" (buxom blondes in bikinis running across beaches), and replace them with a diet of heavier fare, such as Masterpiece Theater and Nature Scene.
		In South Carolina, riding lawn mowers used by inmates have been replaced by push mowers; new prison industries have been established, and prison stores no longer sell TV sets for use in individual cells, The Atlanta Journal and Constitution reports.
		Taking away "Baywatch" and its ilk, wrote one editorialist, would send a "petty, mean-spirited message to prisoners." And the state educational television network confesses to being a bit uncomfortable at the implication that having to watch Masterpiece Theater is a form of punishment.

		Area theaters have scheduled a roster of heavyweight playwrights to close out their seasons, including the three S's (the theatrical equivalent of music's three B's): William Shakespeare (The Merchant of Venice at the Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival), George Bernard Shaw (Heartbreak House at People's Light) and Stephen Sondheim (Merrily We Roll Along at the Arden).
		And the Arden's big three—Terry Nolen, Aaron Posner and Amy Murphy—feel strong personal links to Merrily's story of three friends and their life in the theater (see Steve Cohen's preview in Critical Mass for further details).
		Speaking of modern masters, Merrily is based on a story by the great humorist George S. Kaufman, who's being impersonated on the Walnut Street's studio stage these days by Frank Ferrante, in his new one-man show By George.

	The White Teeth TV movie has no bite. - By Virginia Heffernan - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It's an ExxonMobil Masterpiece Theatre presentation (originally produced by Channel 4 in England), which means it comes with the unmistakable music, the sonorous introduction, and that word: "masterpiece." Phil Davis, Om Puri, and Naomie Harris star in it, and they pull off difficult roles beautifully.
		The adaptation is so subtle I had a hard time sorting out which parts of the novel had been omitted.
		White Teeth, which represents a nice risk for Masterpiece Theatre and perhaps the final canonization of Zadie Smith, is ultimately a smart, good-looking, and dull movie.
