tinarose,

Thanks for the tip.

I was able to tape the show and will watch it later.

I had missed it in the TV book and was appreciative of your reminder.

In the DC area, the first segment will be re-broadcast on Sunday, 15 Feb. in the afternoon.
Since I forgot to tape it last night, it's a good thing!

Brunellesci's Dome by Ross King is much more informative about the cathedral than Part 1 of the PBS series, in my opinion. I thought parts of the show were way overly dramatized (yeah, cheesy). But having said that, it was still worth watching, and we will tune in to Part 2 next week. I wondered what Ross King, who appears a few times in Part 1, thought of the program.

janeg,
exactly! I watched West Wing and forgot to tape the Medicis.
I called around here in NYC, WNET has no plans to rebroadcast part 1, and it doesn't appear on the schedule for WLIW.

Just a reminder to those who watched the show last week. Tonight is the final 2hr episode of the 4-hr series. Check your local PBS station for airtime.

I didn't see your kind advice until now, and I still missed it.
I'm irritated because I called WLIW 21 on Long Island, and I was told they had no plans to show any of it.
Grrr....!

Well, I will watch or tape part 2 tonight

yk thanks for the heads up!

As one who doesn't want to dedicate a "lifetime" to the study of the Medicis or to Inca architecture or whatever, 4/5 hours is more than enough of watching Medicis for me. It's a great show for people like me.

Now, back to planning for my next trip and to small doses of "A Hundred Years of Solitude".
