Prohibition
Network: PBS
Premiere date: November 6, 2011
Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, who has made masterful, exhaustive and critically acclaimed series on baseball and the Civil War, turns his attention to another fascinating aspect of Americana: Prohibition. Using countless still photographs and narration by some Hollywood heavyweights, Burns' three part mini-series offers about as much fun as you can have learning about Prohibition without involving Steve Buscemi.
