Sgt. Pepper’s Musical Revolution

This Saturday, June 3 at 8 p.m. ET (check your local listings), PBS will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album with the documentary Sgt. Pepper’s Musical Revolution, which looks back at the creation and ongoing influence this album, that broke ground in countless ways, has had. Featured are materials never before accessible outside of Abbey Road Studios, including recordings of studio chat between band members and isolated instrumental and vocal tracks. It reveals the nuts and bolts of how the album came together, and provides insights into the choices made by The Beatles and George Martin. With wit, clarity and accessibility, host Howard Goodall explores the back-story of some of the major songs, including the personal stories and biographical connections behind the music.

Showtime will debut its 6-part drama series I’m Dying Up Here on Sunday, June 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. This fictional series explores L.A.’s famed ’70s stand-up comedy scene with the help of a very talented ensemble cast that delves into the inspired, damaged and complicated psyches of those who stand alone in front of an audience “dying” for fame, fortune and, with any luck, a shot on Johnny Carson. Then, on Friday, June 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT Showtime Documentary Films will debut Becoming Cary Grant, a definitive biography of the extraordinary Hollywood icon. From his difficult childhood, without his mother, through 30 years of stardom, this is a must see event.

HBO will celebrate vitality after age 90 with the debut of its documentary If You’re Not in the Obit, Eat Breakfast on Monday, June 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Hosted by Carl Reiner, the film features Tony Bennett (90), Mel Brooks (90), Kirk Douglas (100), Norman Lear (94), Stan Lee (94) Dick Van Dyke (91) and Betty White (95), among others. “Every morning before having breakfast, I pick up my newspaper, get the obituary section, and see if I’m listed,” says comedy legend Carl Reiner. “If I’m not, I’ll have my breakfast.” The 95-year-old wonders why some of his friends died years ago, while others are still thriving, asking, “Was it luck, genes, modern medicine or are we doing something right?” Brooks, Lear and Reiner reminisce about their history together and Reiner visits Dick Van Dyke, Kirk Douglas and others, including an interview with Harriette Thompson (93), the oldest woman to run and finish a marathon.
