SUPERHEROES: A NEVER-ENDING BATTLE
PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET
Here’s a really enjoyable, yet totally defensible, topic for a three-hour PBS documentary special: an analysis of the history and impact of comic-book superheroes. Starting when Superman lifted that car in the first issue of Action Comics #1, the heroes of comics have waged a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way. Take the tour, with such guides as Stan Lee, Lynda Carter and Adam West. Check local listings.
