Becoming Human: Birth of Humanity
NOVA presents a comprehensive three-part, three-hour special -investigating explosive new discoveries that are transforming the picture of how
we became human. The first program, "First Steps," explores fresh clues about our earliest ancestors in Africa, including the stunningly complete
fossil nicknamed "Lucy's Child." These three-million-year-old bones from Ethiopia reveal humanity's oldest and most telltale trait - upright walking,
rather than a big brain. "Birth of Humanity," the second program, tackles the mysteries of how our ancestors managed to survive in a savannah
teeming with vicious predators, and when and why we first left our African cradle to colonize every corner of the earth. In the final program,
"Last Human Standing," NOVA probes a wave of dramatic new evidence, based partly on cutting-edge DNA analysis, that reveals new insights
into how we became today's creative and "behaviorally modern" humans and what really happened to the enigmatic Neanderthals who faded
into extinction. Shot "in the trenches" as discoveries were unearthed throughout Africa and Europe, each hour of "Becoming Human" unfolds
with a forensic investigation into the life and death of a specific hominid ancestor, such as Lucy's Child. Dry bones spring back to vivid life with
stunning animation, the product of a unique NOVA collaboration between top anthropologists and a talented team of movie animators.

Thunder has delivered a spectacular show that will enchant and amaze their PBS fans. Staged on a "set" that measures 130 foot long by 47

It's Entertainment! is a musical review that spans six decades and will delight and enthrall audiences, whether through a nostalgic reminiscence
of old classics such as "Standing on the Corner" or the band's unique take on contemporary numbers such as Michael Buble's "Home" or U2's hit

support of their amazing band, and the introduction of 9 sensational dancers featured throughout the show. The audience can watch Damian
standing on the corner as he shyly serenades his first love, or Paul strutting down the lane with top hat and cane as they've never seen him
before. They can marvel as "bad bad" boy Ryan finds his dancing groove as Leroy Brown in a wonderful troupe performance, or grin as Keith
pays homage to his surfer roots in a colorful medley that celebrates his youthful and exuberant charm - and his talent on the guitar. While
George, as always, calm and steady, brings it all back home.

Hawai'i Convention Center, guests hope for fame and fortune, too, with a wide assortment of objects to be appraised, including a first edition
copy of Jack London's Call of the Wild; a 1915 Hawaiian flag quilt, bearing the coat of arms of King Kamehameha; and a violin and bow
purchased for the owner's aunt in 1921 and kept in storage for the last 40 years. Although it's accompanied by a bill of sale claiming the
instrument is a valuable Camilli from 1737, the violin actually is a fine forgery - so fine that the pair still is valued at $12,000-$15,000 at auction.
9pm American Masters
Cachao: Uno Mas
The Grammy winning bassist Israel "Cachao" Lopez died in Coral Gables, Florida, in March 2008, at almost 90 years of age. A maestro of
legendary status on the world stage and ultimately considered one of the greatest Afro-Cuban musicians of all time, he had made his home in
the United States for the past four decades. However, he continued playing the Havana clubs and dance halls with his brother Orestes.
Together, they revolutionized the heart of Cuban music -- their spontaneous improvisations and innovations established the basis of, and the
influence of, contemporary Latin jazz and salsa, rock 'n roll and rhythm and blues. The basis of this film is a sold-out 2005 concert at Bimbo's 365
Club, a famous San Francisco nightclub. Cachaos's life and work are palpable. "Cachao: Uno Mas" is produced and narrated by actor Andy
Garcia, a friend and ardent fan, who helped reinvigorate Cachao's career in the 1990s -- and who appears in this film playing the bongos.

Becoming Human: Last Human Standing
NOVA presents a comprehensive three-part, three-hour special -investigating explosive new discoveries that are transforming the picture of how
we became human. The first program, "First Steps," explores fresh clues about our earliest ancestors in Africa, including the stunningly complete
fossil nicknamed "Lucy's Child." These three-million-year-old bones from Ethiopia reveal humanity's oldest and most telltale trait - upright walking,
rather than a big brain. "Birth of Humanity," the second program, tackles the mysteries of how our ancestors managed to survive in a savannah
teeming with vicious predators, and when and why we first left our African cradle to colonize every corner of the earth. In the final program,
"Last Human Standing," NOVA probes a wave of dramatic new evidence, based partly on cutting-edge DNA analysis, that reveals new insights
into how we became today's creative and "behaviorally modern" humans and what really happened to the enigmatic Neanderthals who faded
into extinction. Shot "in the trenches" as discoveries were unearthed throughout Africa and Europe, each hour of "Becoming Human" unfolds
with a forensic investigation into the life and death of a specific hominid ancestor, such as Lucy's Child. Dry bones spring back to vivid life with
stunning animation, the product of a unique NOVA collaboration between top anthropologists and a talented team of movie animators.

What Darwin Never Knew
On the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin's famous On the Origin of Species, NOVA reveals answers to the riddles that Darwin
couldn't explain. Stunning breakthroughs in a new science - nicknamed "evo devo" - are linking the enigma of origins to another of nature's
great mysteries: the development of an embryo. To explore this exciting new idea, NOVA takes viewers on a journey from the Galapagos
Islands to the Arctic, from the Cambrian explosion of animal forms half a billion years ago to the research labs of today. Here, scientists are finally
beginning to crack nature's biggest secrets at the genetic level. And, as NOVA shows in this absorbing detective story, the results are confirming
the brilliance of Darwin's insights, while exposing clues to life's breathtaking diversity in ways he could scarcely have imagined.
