Pat Antti says:
The Paris Murders looked interesting…if only it weren’t in French! It would be helpful if blurbs for foreign language shows mentioned that in the description.
Vivian Norton says:
I watch PBS almost exclusively. I wish you’d introduce new programs in the fall rather than in the summer months when we have longer daylight hours and are not inside as much in the evenings.
Alyssa Beno says:
Hi Vivian – September and October are the months during which many new programs premiere on PBS Wisconsin. In the meantime, many of the new programs premiering this summer are available to stream anytime on the free PBS App. Download it on your smart TV or favorite streaming device.
