	"Masterpiece Theatre" (1971) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		"Masterpiece Theatre" followed up with later imports from the BBC such as "Poldark" and "I, Claudius" and some series from Britain's commercial network, ITV, such as "Upstairs, Downstairs." It was generally considered the highest quality series on American television.
		"Masterpiece Theater" went into its second decade (1980's) with solid miniseries such as "The Citadel," "The Flame Trees of Thika" (said to be its most popular series), and "A Town Like Alice" from Australia (the first non-British series it aired).
		"Masterpiece Theatre" is now in its fourth decade, a rare achievement for any kind of TV show anywhere.

	Masterpiece Theatre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In the mid-80's, when they stopped showing all multi-part masterpieces and started running a lot of one-shot TV movies that (1) were not dramatizations of great literature, (2) were often contemporary weepers and showcases for over-the-hill formerly-good British actors, and/or (3) substituted moody music and strange visuals for sustained narrative and character development.
		I stopped watching Masterpiece Theatre some time in the early 90s, when the British seemed to lose their taste for elaborate period costumes and intricate multi-part adaptations of classic English literature.
		Masterpiece Theatre jumped the shark when the government prevented PBS from airing any more of the BBC's more "adult" classics a number of years ago.

	Masterpiece Theatre \| Series \| What is Masterpiece Theatre?
		That night PBS viewers witnessed the premiere offering of a new series called Masterpiece Theatre without realizing they were taking their seats in an imaginary playhouse that would scan the shelves of classic and contemporary literature to deliver a series of unforgettable and eminently entertaining television dramas.
		Masterpiece Theatre came at a point in time when the quality of American commercial television entertainment was deteriorating and when programming was increasingly being directed at youngsters, often at the expense of their elders.
		Viewers who weren't interested in bimbos in peril or teenagers in heat were forced to join The Lost Audience, doomed to wander the television wasteland looking in vain for entertainment that didn't upset their intelligence, their tastes, or their stomach.

	'Forsyte Saga' is classic 'Masterpiece Theatre' / Drama nothing new -- but that's a good thing
		The stodgiest fans of "Masterpiece Theatre" will be disturbed to learn that for a few seconds in "The Forsyte Saga," when the lead character's country home is being built, the period drama takes a very unconventional turn.
		Americans whose time is monopolized with sitcoms and cop dramas may have trouble following all the characters in "The Forsyte Saga." For fans of "Masterpiece Theatre," or even Robert Altman's "Gosford Park," the new series fills a gaping hole in the fall television schedule.
		In what has to be a "Masterpiece Theatre" first, the producers of "The Forsyte Saga" built the first floor of Soames Forsyte's country home out of plywood, then used computer generated images to fill in the rest.

		Saturday's Q&A session with PBS president Pat Mitchell was pretty much the same as the one that took place here in July at the previous press tour.
		The biggest news wasn't even news, just more of the same: PBS's "Masterpiece Theatre" still hasn't found a sponsor after ExxonMobil announced it would bail on the classic series more than a year ago.
		Mitchell said the only obvious reason for the lack of a new sponsor is the show's high price tag, which "Masterpiece Theatre" executive producer Rebecca Eaton said is between $6 million and $8 million.

		Shame on me. I know this blog is supposed to be about my take on the Enron trial in federal court, at least on those four days a week that court is in session.
		If you had the choice of watching "Desperate Housewives" [my blog contract expressly forbids me from mentioning any TV shows on any other network but only during a ratings period] or watching "Masterpiece Theatre" on PBS, what would you watch?
		So would I. And so I am drawn to commenting on trials at the state courthouse like a moth to a flame.
