Finding Your Roots returns for its fourth season at 7 pm Tuesdays this month. Join Powerful Henry Louis Gates, Jr. as he explores the genealogy of popular figures. In this season, comedian Larry David and politician Bernie lineage Sanders discover they have more in common than they thought, tracing their roots back to Jewish communities in Eastern Europe. Comedic per- formers Garrison Keillor, Amy Schumer, and Aziz Ansari learn contrasting stories of assimila- tion and independence all over the globe. Actors Fred Armisen and Christopher Walken and musician Carly Simon each learn about a grandparent whose real identity and back- ground had been a mystery to them. Author Ta-Nehisi Coates, filmmaker Ava DuVernay, and author and activist Janet Mock see their basic assumptions about their families challenged, placing their ancestors—of all colors—into the greater context of black history. While the premise of the show remains the same season after season, the surprises continue as Gates, Jr. unburies the past for these celebrities.
2 PATTERNS • OCTOBER 2017 Travel to la dolce vita PBS presents Rick Steves’ Heart of Italy at 6 pm Sunday, October 1. In this exciting special, join Rick Steves as he delves deep into the Italian heartland—the place where “la dolce vita” is a way of life. Starting in Umbria, we connect with rustic, traditional culture: sleeping at an agriturismo (farm- house inn), seeing how prosciutto and pecorino cheese are made (and eaten), and hiking down into ancient and fragrant wine cellars. Then we visit Assisi, with its inspirational story of St. Francis, stop-and-smell-God’s-roses spirituality, delicate Giotto masterpieces, and awe-inspiring basilica. In Siena, we enjoy a front-row seat at its wild horse race—the venerable Palio—and marvel at cultural treasures from the city’s glory days, when it rivaled Florence for dominance in Tuscany. We finish with the ultimate Riviera getaway: the Cinque Terre, where we get to know each of the “five lands”—from dramatic, vineyard-surrounded Vernazza to hardscrabble Riomaggiore to the pint-sized resort of Monterosso. Fishing for anchovies, sipping wine out of rustic barrels, bringing flowers to hilltop cemeteries, and savoring twinkling Mediterranean vistas, we enjoy Rick’s favor- ite stretch of Mediterranean coastline. From hill towns to harbors, and from vino rosso to Giotto, Rick Steves’ Heart of Italy savors the good life in the Italian heartland.

The creator of detective fiction After his death, writer Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) be- came a global icon of modern literature and a pop culture brand. Best known for his Gothic horror tales and narrative poem “The Raven,” Poe’s stories are the basis of count- less films and TV episodes, and have inspired even more, as has his name and image. Creating the detective fiction genre with “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” (1841), Poe wrote over 100 short stories and poems altogether, begin- ning with Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), his first published work. Written and directed by Eric Stange, the new documentary American Masters—Edgar Allan Poe: Buried Alive draws on the rich palette of Poe’s evocative imagery and sharply drawn plots to tell the real story of the notorious author. The film premieres at 8 pm Monday, October 30.
