tpt invites you to take a fresh look at familiar concepts. Over the next two weeks we'll explore several styles of music including the origins of Celtic music and the history of Jazz. We'll look at architectural designs that emphasize quality over quantity, and we'll study the concept of war and the responsibility of journalists in shaping public opinion.

Bill Moyers Journal/Buying the War
August 21, 8pm; Wednesday, August 22, 2am; Sunday, August 26, 3:30pm
Thursday, August 23, 8pm
In the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, the government's claims about weapons of mass destruction and terrorist ties to Saddam Hussein went mostly unchallenged by the media. Four years after "shock and awe," how the government sold the war has been much examined, but a big question remains: how and why did the press buy it? Buying the War includes interviews with journalists Dan Rather, formerly of CBS; Tim Russert of "Meet the Press"; Bob Simon of "60 Minutes"; Walter Isaacson, former president of CNN; and John Walcott, Jonathan Landay and Warren Strobel of Knight Ridder newspapers.

Great Performances/Nureyev: The Russian Years
Wednesday, August 29, 9pm; Thursday, August 30, 3am
Thursday, August 30, 8pm
Rudolf Nureyev is one of the enduring icons of 20th-century performing arts, a figure whose fame reached far beyond the ballet stage. In a post-Soviet world, new sources of information have emerged featuring recently recorded interviews with Russian friends and colleagues, as well as archival footage not seen in the West. This program traces his meteoric career with fresh insight and candor. The performance documentary at last reveals why he felt compelled to defect in 1961 - his daring quest for personal and artistic freedom - as well as his painful homecoming many years later under the hostile eye of the KGB.

Super WHY!
Monday-Friday, 8:30am - Premiering Labor day, September 3

WordWorld
Monday-Friday, 11:30am - Premiering Labor day, September 3
WordWorld is a colorful, word-rich place where friends have fun and meet challenges through word play. Each episode of WordWorld is a fun narrative built around a wacky troupe of WordFriends, who are characters first and words second. Shy Sheep loves to pretend; cautious Frog is the brainiac and word "expert"; impetuous Duck is still learning his letters (and social skills); WordWorld's WordFriends invite the preschool viewer to join them on comic adventures, where problems can only be resolved by "building" the right word. Words come alive, words save the day, and words become a child's best friend in this 3D animated series. Learning to form words has never been this fun!
Word Girl
Fridays, 4pm; Premiering September 7
The Amazing Colossal Adventures of WordGirl is a new animated series that follows the every day life and superhero adventures of "WordGirl" as she fights crime and enriches vocabulary usage, all in a day's work. Only a superhero like WordGirl, endowed with power punches and dictionary strength, can put the word-wrenching scoundrels back in their place proving once again that crime doesn't pay...but knowing the right word for the right moment is priceless.
