So apparently, PBS is airing a documentary made about D&D. Has anyone heard about this? Anyone know when it's airing.

I went to pbs.org where there was information on the series airing the show but not about the documentary itself or when it's showing.

His monumental work in the field of roleplaying has withstood the test of time and a wealth of imitators. His original innovations remain in use today, and he has continued designing and publishing roleplaying games...

There's a link on PBS.org that will take you (by zip code) to a local PBS website (KBYU and KUED in our case).  There you can find listings.
