TV critic optimistic about pubTV fall shows

Baltimore Sun TV critic David Zurawik predicts a strong fall pubTV lineup, despite ongoing funding problems. " ... Even in this time of downsizing in media from newspapers to network TV, the people who run the nation's only free TV service can celebrate a fall lineup as promising as any the commercial networks will show at their previews next week in New York, he writes in today's paper. PBS Showcase runs today through Thursday in Baltimore, with the Public Television Programmers' Association also meeting there today.
