The Impossible Dream: Red Sox Nation Begins
Long before the likes of Big Papi, Pedro, Manny and even before the heartbreak of Buckner and the indelible image of Fisk waving the ball fair, Red Sox Nation as we know it began 50 years ago with the Impossible Dream of 1967.
The Dynasty that Almost Was
The 1990s Indians inspired great pride, but also great pain. They were quite a team for a time but not quite the team of their time. They were fearless, flamboyant, fantastic -- six division titles in seven years, two American League pennants, a then-record 455 straight sellouts. In a beautiful new ballpark, in a city longing for sporting success with the Browns having bounced for Baltimore, those Indians teams won hearts ... but no World Series titles. The film is narrated by Corbin Bernsen -- star of the movie "Major League," which until the 1990s Indians came along was, sadly, as close as the franchise had gotten to the postseason for many decades. And just as you didn't have to be a Cleveland fan to appreciate "Major League," you don't have to be one to appreciate this compelling look at a team that came up short in the World Series, but not in the realm of entertainment and intrigue.
Jack And The Kid
The story of John O'Leary and his relationship with St. Louis Cardinals announcer Jack Buck.
Billy
Chronicling the colorful and complicated life of brilliant manager Billy Martin on the 40th anniversary of his 1977 World Series title with the Yankees.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
Shrinking
Shrinking follows a grieving therapist who starts to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge, tumultuous changes to people's lives… including his own.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
