1952: 'I've Got a Secret' Premieres

New This WWeek

The second season of TVWW fave Call The Midwife did not match the power and heights of Season One. But the series, which follows young British nurses in the early 1960s, thrives on its signature earnest charm as it goes deep into family drama.
This series documents the Louvre's study days, in which works by five major artists— including Rembrandt and Leonardo— are studied during restorations. From up close, we see the faint lines where the artist changed his mind, witness how time has ravaged the canvases, and debate the evidence that a master painted a particular work.
Ultra-quirky and solemn, the Rectify series of only six episodes followed an ex-con freed after 19 years on Death Row. Odd, squirmy and sometimes moving at a glacial, novel-like pace, it nevertheless is one of the more notable dramas, so far, of 2013.
