American TV entertainment goes far beyond the talent shows, sitcoms and cartoons of mainstream television.

Watchable though these shows certainly are, here on PBS you'll find an amazing range of programmes under the arts and culture umbrella, all of which make you think as well as entertaining your socks off.

From one-off documentaries on Naked Football (it's not what it seems...), to multi-part showcases like Martin Scorcese's The Blues, and Ken Burns' Jazz, and exclusive series such as America's Test Kitchen; PBS in the UK gives viewers compelling programming that offers a different take on the America. 

You can't fail to find something here to enjoy.

Sounds like a good way to spend an evening.
