So often, what we hear about China refers to the nation as a whole: China's booming capitalist economy, its rising power on the international stage, the government's control over the media. But what about the private lives of the Chinese as a people? What hopes do they have? What anxieties? How much have their lives really changed?  http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/243/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/243/rss Tue, 17 Jun 08 09:27:00 -0700 Health care double feature: 'Sick Around the World' & 'King Corn' April 15 How do other capitalist democracies balance health care and profits?

When this topic comes up, I've overheard or been part of many conversations that go like this. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/206/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/206/rss Tue, 01 Apr 08 14:10:00 -0700 I wonder what Charles McGrath is watching tonight? I wanted to change the subject this week. I really did. But then I saw Charles McGrath's New York Times editorial - "Is PBS Really Necessary?" - and the comment avalanche that followed on the Times' site. It's at 836 at the moment. (Three cheers for new media - I often enjoy reader comments more than the articles themselves.) http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/183/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/183/rss Tue, 19 Feb 08 10:51:00 -0700 How do you protect teenagers in a virtual world? I'm a very diligent parent. No teenager of mine would ever host a sexy personal website or surf dangerous waters on my watch. Of course, I don't have kids - so my ideal parent status is all naively hypothetical. And hey, modern (teenage) culture is one reason why I don't. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/165/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/165/rss Tue, 22 Jan 08 13:30:00 -0700 Are psychiatric meds safe for kids? Say what you will about today's record number of children on psychiatric drugs (over one million and rising). What would you do if your child, like so many today, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder? http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/157/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/157/rss Tue, 08 Jan 08 14:26:00 -0700 What's going on in the teenage mind? Why is being a teenager - or living with one - such a difficult task? Tonight at 9, "Frontline" presents "Inside the Teenage Brain," a compelling report on new discoveries that may change how we parent, teach and understand teenagers. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/150/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/150/rss Tue, 11 Dec 07 12:44:00 -0700 Are you feeling the writers' strike? When television writers strike, does that mean there's nothing good on TV? http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/141/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/141/rss Tue, 20 Nov 07 13:59:00 -0700 Watching the World Series? Record us I won't lie. This Rocky Mountain PBS lover is also a Colorado Rockies fan and has been for more than two weeks. Therefore, like many of you, I'll be tuned in to little else but baseball for the next four to eight days. However, there's no need for any of us to miss out on the Rocky Mountain PBS schedule. Set your TiVos, DVRs and quaint old VCRs. Here are some gameday programs you'll want to record for post-world-championship viewing: http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/88/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/88/rss Tue, 23 Oct 07 11:21:00 -0700 Tuesday's my night--what's yours? When I tell people I work at Rocky Mountain PBS, I often hear comments like "I don't watch TV, but when I do, it's PBS." I can relate. It seems we're truly television for people turned off by television. Like many of you PBS lovers, I click past the big networks' fly-by-night melodramas, canned-laughter sitcoms and gimmicky-glitzy quiz shows and settle in with my own personal "must-see TV" night--without a doubt Tuesdays on Rocky Mountain PBS. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/81/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/81/rss Tue, 16 Oct 07 12:03:00 -0700
