But in this newly awar

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: This two-part documentary (part two is televised tonight immediately after part one, so Elvis won’t leave the building) tackles a tough challenge: After all these years and all these nonfiction documentaries and fact-based dramas, what else is left to say, or to learn, about Elvis Presley?

SERIES PREMIERE: The concept of taking a tacky sci-fi series from a previous generation, and revamping it for a new era, worked great with Battlestar: Galactica. And in theory, it makes sense to try it with Lost in Space, an even older, arguably almost as tacky sci-fi series from the mid-Sixties. The original Lost in Space starred Bill Mumy as the youngest of three Robinson children whose parents had taken them on a mission to colonize outer space, along with pilot Don West, weasly stowaway Doct
