  American Masters [#1704] Judy Garland: By Myself Judy Garland had one of the most photographed faces ever to come out of Hollywood - it is stamped as a virtual imprint on our imaginations, a celluloid image frozen in time. She also had one of the most frequently recorded voices of the last century. She was magic, almost mythical. She is as iconic as she is misunderstood. There were her problems, to be sure, but the proof is in the performances, from The Wizard of Oz to the Palladium, from the Oscars to the Grammies. With singular entree to the MGM library, including vaulted screen tests and rehearsal footage, the film is wrapped in Judy's voice, actually telling her story in her own words. So many outsiders have tried to tell this story and so many friends and family have weighed in - now Judy gets center stage, all to herself. This is her ultimate comeback. duration 1:56:46   STEREO TVPG

  Sesame Street [#4260H] Observe, Record, Annoy Oscar is taking a computer class in Grouchology where the golden rule is to observe, record, and annoy. The first question that he must investigate is "What do worms like to squirm on best?" Professor Messla tells him he must set up an experiment where he observes (watches closely and carefully), records (writes down what he discovers), and annoy someone while he is doing it. Oscar heads over to Hooper's where he pours coffee grinds and olive oil all over Alan's nice clean counter. He observes the worms in the mess, and marks down what he sees on his chart. He succeeds in annoying Alan, and concludes that most of the worms like to squirm in the olive oil. The second question to investigate is "What stinky smell will make people scram?" He finds Gina and Leela playing cards and tries to make them scram with garlic, an old piece of cheese, and finally his own stinky socks. He observes, records and annoys them both as they finally flee holding their noses from his smelly socks. Oscar's final question is "What noise is loud enough to wake up Luis and Maria?" He blasts a vuvuzela horn and observes and records that it wakes up Maria, but not Luis. As she shouts at Oscar to let her get some sleep, Luis wakes up from her yelling. Oscar concludes Maria's shrill screaming is the loudest noise of all. He reports what he discovered in each experiment to Professor Messla and collects his stinky diploma in Grouchology. Now it's time for a loud, annoying party. duration 58:46   STEREO TVY (Secondary audio: DVI)

  Washington Week [#5210H] Democrats recaptured the political spotlight this week at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
  On Thursday night, President Barack Obama is expected to remind voters during his primetime acceptance speech of promises kept during his first term as well as his vision for moving the country forward if elected to a second term.
  On Wednesday night in a speech to an overflow convention hall, former President Bill Clinton distilled the president's record, refuted point-by-point GOP attacks, and assured the audience that President Obama could turn the troubled economy around if re-elected.
  All week long Democratic leaders have stepped up to the podium to rekindle voter enthusiasm by highlighting how the president has made the country better by passing health care reform, saving the auto industry and cutting taxes through the stimulus.
  But Friday's jobs report could either give the Obama campaign a boost or serve to quell any post-convention bounce.
  Gwen Ifill returns from Charlotte for a complete roundup of the Democratic convention and analysis of where the presidential race goes from here with Dan Balz of The Washington Post; Peter Baker of The New York Times; Michael Duffy of Time Magazine; and Jeanne Cummings of Bloomberg News. duration 26:46   STEREO TVRE
