- Taking a page out of the book of the BBC's Up! series, Nova's Doctors' Diaries follows a group of doctors from Harvard Medical School until 21 years later. Fascinating. And recommended by Greenberg. Spoiler alert: Harvard Medical School is tough.
- We Shall Remain: After the Mayflower on PBS about the Wampanoag tribe's resistance to the English in New England. Since the material covered is so old, it's obviously devoid/light on photographs / ephemera and heavy on re-enactments to accompany the narrative. Normally, I can't handle re-enactments because the acting is so very horrible (take America's Most Wanted, for example), but the actors in this documentary are amazing you lose yourself in the story. Spoiler alert: it's a sad story.

Ahhh the pilgrims. I love to tell everyone around Thanksgiving that the first thanksgiving among pilgrims and indians never actually happened.
Just another lie your teacher told you.
on the first thanksgiving, the pilgrims ate the indians.
