NOVA: "WHY BRIDGES COLLAPSE"
PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET
One of the first nursery rhymes we’re taught as children has to do with the dangers of insufficient infrastructure when it comes to public pathways over bodies of water. And while this new Nova isn’t completely devoted to London Bridge falling down, it does look at more recent examples, nationally as well as internationally. Warning: Watch my video blog yesterday about today’s Best TV Tomorrow (I know, it’s as confusing as a John Oliver program title), at our TV Worth Watching YouTube Channel and elsewhere, and you’ll hear my groaningly bad alternate title for this recommended Nova installment. Thanks to my director, Larry Siegel, for adding the rim shot! Check local listings.
