AMERICAN MASTERS Good Ol' Charles Schulz, premieres nationally Monday, October 29 at 9pm (ET) on Thirteen. This is a quintessentially Midwestern story of an unassuming, self-doubting man who, through expressing his unique view of the world, redefined the comic art form with Peanuts. His genius lay in depicting the daily collisions of insiders and outsiders, of mundane cruelties and transcendent hopes - seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. The Peanuts cast of characters is as familiar to us as our own siblings; their trials and tribulations speak of our families and evoke our childhood desperations. They are portrayed with whimsy and poignancy - and always with love and tolerance, each representing different facets of Schulz's personality and his perspectives on 20th-century America.

Airs October 15 and 22 at 9 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings) MYSTERIOUS HUMAN Heart's one-hour episodes focuses on a different aspect of what we thought we knew, what we know now, and what we're on the verge of learning about the heart. Endlessly Beating examines the heart as a muscle - pumping almost 100,000 times a day, pushing approximately five quarts of blood in a ceaseless circuit to deliver oxygen to every cell in the human body. The Spark of Life looks at the physiological electrical mechanisms that keep a heart beating regularly and efficiently - and what happens when this most essential rhythm of life goes awry. The Silent Killer focuses on atherosclerosis, the silent blockage of the coronary arteries, which can trigger a devastating and possibly fatal heart attack. As this program shows, the key is to recognize the risk factors that feed the disease and to control them before it's too late.
