Jimmy Stewart, whose on-screen likability is matched only by Tom Hanks, is being honored all month on TCM with an irresistible lineup of classics every Wednesday evening.

"Mythbusters" has a new station and new hosts. The series, which ran on Discovery Channel for 14 seasons, moves to Science Channel with production designer Jonathan Lung and pilot Brian Louden doing the sleuthing.

PBS viewers have already heard astronaut Scott Kelley talk about his 12-month mission on the International Space Station in "A Year in Space."
