Pioneers of Television (8pm, UNC-TV) - If you consider yourself a fan of television, there's really no excuse for not watching this great series. The third installment of the season is about a genre near and dear to my heart -- crime dramas. Groundbreaking shows like "Dragnet," "The Untouchables," "I Spy," "Police Woman," "Columbo," and "The Rockford Files" are examined. Look for interview clips featuring Mike Connors ("Mannix"), Bill Cosby and Robert Culp ("I Spy"), Angie Dickinson ("Police Woman") and James Garner ("Rockford Files").

I won't give away details because certain people here at Warm TV are behind (for shame!). I wish I could force everyone to watch this show.
