SECRETS OF THE FORBIDDEN CITY
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 29 @ 7:00PM
The Forbidden City is the world’s biggest and most extravagant palace complex ever built. For five centuries, it was the power center of imperial China and survived wars, revolution, fires, and earthquakes. How did the Ming Emperor’s workforce construct its sprawling array of nearly 1,000 buildings and dozens of temples in a little over a decade?
PURITANS AND PIONEERS
TUESDAY, JANUARY 9 @ 9:00PM
Actors Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen and William H. Macy trace their nonconformist ancestors through American conflicts, the Civil War and the American Revolution, all the way back to the Puritan establishment.

President Trump is expected to decertify the Iran nuclear deal on Friday despite assessments from several cabinet officials that Iran is complying with the 2015 agreement.
