Green Builders
A quiet green revolution in the building world is evolving - and a first wave of in-
novative green design projects large and small has already hit the ground.
GREEN BUILDERS profiles a cast of green building pioneers who have taken
the leap into making their part of the "built environment" a more energy-efficient
and environmentally friendly place. The special takes a wide-ranging look at a
variety of approaches and levels of commitment and at the individuals who have
helped turn green building theory into reality.

America’s Orchestra: Celebrating 125 Years of the Boston Pops
A star-studded celebration of the Boston Pops - past, present, and future - this
special anniversary tribute features some of the greatest moments from the
Boston Pops' 125-year history, telling the orchestra's story - its transformation
from summertime entertainment for Bostonians to the national icon and beloved
institution of today. Showcasing the extraordinary variety of artists and program-
ming of the leadership eras of Arthur Fiedler (1930-79), John Williams (1980-
1993) and Keith Lockhart (1995 to present), the program features interviews
with and/or performances by Audra McDonald, Kristin Chenoweth, Josh Groban,
James Taylor, Vanessa Williams, Yo-Yo Ma, Wynton Marsalis and Roberta
Flack. Rare footage of favorite artists past and present, including Ella Fitzgerald,
Sarah Vaughan, Johnny Cash, Benny Goodman, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis
Jr., John Raitt, k.d. lang, the Carpenters and Patti LaBelle, as well as Broadway
stars Ethel Merman, Bernadette Peters, Nathan Lane and Jerry Herman, are
also featured. Craig Ferguson hosts.

This episode focuses on five key sitcoms: "I Love Lucy," "The Honeymooners,"
"Make Room for Daddy," "The Andy Griffith Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke
Show." The last remaining Honeymooner, Joyce Randolph, offers surprising in-
sights into the mind of Jackie Gleason. Similarly, Marlo Thomas speaks candidly
about her father, Danny. Andy Griffith offers forceful opinions about the people
and techniques that made his show work. In a rare occurrence, both Mary Tyler
Moore and Dick Van Dyke recount their years on "The Dick Van Dyke Show."
Hundreds of episodes were culled for the most entertaining clips - including one
particularly side-splitting bit by Don Knotts.

Pioneers of Television:
Crime Dramas
As viewers reveled in being trans-
ported to shadowy underworlds, cre-
ative geniuses emerged in the forms
of Jack Webb (“Dragnet”), Desi Arnaz
(“The Untouchables”) and Bruce
Geller (“Mannix” and “Mission: Impos-
sible”). Groundbreaking actors Bill
Cosby (“I Spy”) and Angie Dickinson
(“Police Woman”) reveal the methods
behind their successes as the first
African-American and breakthrough
female lead characters in a television
series. Barbara Bain and Martin Lan-
dau share the secrets behind the inno-
vative hit “Mission: Impossible”; Peter
Falk’s friends and colleagues recall
the evolution of his “Columbo” charac-
ter; and James Garner and series cre-
ator Stephen J. Cannell recount the
success of the “The Rockford Files.”
8:00PM
Frontline: Post Mortem
Every day, nearly 7,000 people die in
America. And when these deaths hap-
pen suddenly, or under suspicious cir-
cumstances, we assume there will be
a thorough investigation, just like we
see on CSI. But the reality is very dif-
ferent. In over 1,300 counties across
America, elected coroners, many with
no medical or scientific background,
are in charge of death investigations.
Nationwide there is a severe shortage
of competent forensic pathologists to
do autopsies. The rate of autopsies—
the gold standard of death investiga-
tion—has plummeted over the
decades. As a result, not only do mur-
derers go free and innocent people go
to jail, but the crisis in death investiga-
tion in America is also a threat to pub-
lic health. FRONTLINE correspondent

Lowell Bergman reports the results of
a joint investigation with ProPublica,
NPR, and the Investigative Reporting
Program at UC Berkeley.

Frontline: Sex Slaves
An estimated half-million women are
trafficked annually for the purpose of
sexual slavery. The women are kid-
napped — or lured by traffickers who
prey on their dreams of employment
abroad — then they are "exported" to
Europe, the Middle East, the United
States and elsewhere, where they are
sold to pimps, drugged, terrorized,
locked in brothels and raped repeat-
edly. In Eastern Europe, since the fall
of communism, sex trafficking has be-
come the fastest growing form of or-
ganized crime, with Moldova and
Ukraine widely seen as the centers of
the global trade in women and girls.
FRONTLINE presents a unique hid-
den-camera look at this world of sex-
ual slavery, talking with traffickers and
their victims, and exposing the gov-
ernment indifference that allows the
abuses to continue virtually
unchecked. "Sex Slaves" also follows
the remarkable journey of one man
determined to find his trafficked wife
by posing as a trafficker himself to buy
back her freedom.

Late Night
The stories of Steve
Allen, Jack Paar and

headline this episode
about the formative
years of late-night television. Merv
Griffin also emerges as a key player
on the late-night scene. (His interview
for PIONEERS was his last before
passing away.) Regis Philbin offers
revelations about his years as a late-
night sidekick (to Joey Bishop). Dick
Cavett and Arsenio Hall also discuss
their years in the mix, and Sigourney
Weaver offers personal details about
her father, Pat - the inventor of
"Tonight." The episode is peppered
with dozens of never-before-seen
clips, including Johnny Carson per-
forming in his early 20s.

Frontline: A Daughter’s Death
It was a hot summer morning in St.
Louis when John Johnson got the
news in his doorway: His daughter
was dead. LaVena was 19, a former
honor student, and a freshly deployed
soldier in Iraq. Devastated, her father
asked the Army how she died. The an-
swer that came back stunned him:
“Self-inflicted gunshot wound.” John-
son couldn’t believe it; not his little girl.
For the past five years, Johnson has
waged an all-out war against the Pen-
tagon to disprove the Army’s suicide
finding. Now, FRONTLINE investi-
gates the circumstances around the
death of Johnson’s daughter, uncover-
ing hard truths about how the Army
handled the death of one of its own.

Adjust Your Color: The Truth of
Petey Greene
America's original shock-jock, Petey
Greene overcame poverty, drug addiction
and prison time to "tell it like it is," shocking
and entertaining everyone from the ghetto
to the White House. Narrated by Don
Cheadle, "Adjust Your Color" looks at how
his explosive language and brash style
unsettled the establishment as he battled
both the system and his own demons on a
journey to becoming a leading activist dur-
ing some of the most tumultuous years in
recent history. By Loren Mendell.

NOVA: Crash of Flight 447
On June 1, 2009, Flight AF447, an Air
France Airbus A330 flying from Rio de
Janeiro to Paris, disappeared over the
Atlantic Ocean, taking with it all 228
lives on board. How could a state-of-
the-art airliner with elaborate elec-
tronic safety and navigation features
and a faultless safety record simply
vanish without a trace? NOVA assem-
bles a team of seasoned pilots, engi-
neers and safety experts to examine
the evidence that emerged in the
weeks following this disaster. What led
Flight 447’s crew to fly straight into a
towering thunderstorm? Using expert
testimony, messages transmitted by
the doomed plane’s computer system
and multi-layered CGI weather recon-
structions, NOVA pieces together the
events leading up to the catastrophe.
With a veteran pilot at the controls of
an Airbus simulator, NOVA recon-
structs the final moments in the cock-
pit as the crisis overwhelmed Flight
447’s crew. The program provides a
forensic view of crucial events seen
from all angles to reveal what really
happened on Flight 447.
