What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Left to itself, Nature will find a way

The Age of Nature

Olá! Tonight's highlight is back to one of my favorite things: nature documentaries. PBS' latest offering is the three-part Age of Nature, which offers an optimistic look how our modern world can live in harmony with a healthy, thriving nature. Across the globe, there are examples of how we have helped Mother Nature heal despite the great damage we've done to her.

Elsewhere, Miguel wants to sing, Massimo considers a scorched-earth on his employer, the Sixth Doctor helps the Second, a five-time Jeopardy champ looms, African wild dogs return to Gorongosa National Park, Whoopi Goldberg presents cons, and the Baronesses are back for the sketch show.

Remember me, though I have to say goodbye. Remember me, don't let it make you cry, here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, October 14!
