Think about the fall...

While TV networks, including PBS, have been in Los Angeles schmoozing members of the press during the past two weeks, local public television stations have been plotting their fall schedules, around the country.

WPT's programming department unveiled their fall schedule last week at the Wisconsin Public Broadcasting Center and Be more Tuned In snuck in to bring you a few insights into what you can expect to see in September and October as the new season begins. Watch this blog for a follow-up in coming weeks with a few more peeks at what you can expect for November and December.

In September, the folks at American Masters present four hours about the life of Andy Warhol. Art fans and critics already know quite a bit about the enigmatic artist, but this in-depth biographical documentary will shed new light on Warhol for both experts and folks who only know him as the guy who painted Campbell's soup cans.

Marie Antoinette is another powerful program airing in September that will present the story of the French queen who to most is probably best known for her infamous beheading. Antoinette was the pop star of her day and this portrait uses interviews, artwork and recreations to tell her story.

In October, Masterpiece Theatre returns with a film that has something for everyone. Casanova stars Peter O'Toole as the elder lover, while David Tennant, the star of the BBC's newest version of Dr. Who plays the younger overconfident man. Before the show airs catch up with the memoirs of the actual Giacomo Casanova courtesy of the Adelaide, Australia library.

Also, starting this fall, one of America's favorite monkeys is coming to WPT Kids. Curious George, along with the always-favorite Man in the Yellow Hat, will be joining the daytime lineup beginning with a Labor Day marathon. William H. Macy narrates the program. A sneak peek is available now. Keep watching wpt.org for more details!
