In 1940, America was still staggering its way out of the Great Depression, and war clouds were rolling in from Europe. The upcoming Presidential campaign spotlight turned to perhaps the unlikeliest, but certainly the most entertaining, candidate of all - Gracie Allen. Politics was perfect for Gracie's particular brand of logical illogic. Join the hilarity, and the throngs of supporters, as George Burns, Gracie, and their entire cast embark on a whistle-stop tour all the way to the Surprise Party's national convention in Omaha, Nebraska.

[Contains Mature Themes] After the arrest is made public, the community is terrified and convinced a murderer lives next door. Still, the suspect remains in West Cork. And it seems everyone has a theory - a story about the suspect’s strangeness - ranging from the plausible to the absurd: that he is a sexual predator; that he wanders the countryside alone, howling, driven to madness by the full moon. But as it turns out, some of the craziest rumors were coming from the unlikeliest of sources - the suspect himself.

[Contains Mature Themes] West Cork, Ireland is an outpost at the edge of Europe. Rugged, windswept, and coastal, it was a region of farmers and fisherman until the 1960s, when it was discovered by the “blow-ins”—artists, urban runaways, and people who drove until the road ran out. It was a haven for those wanting to turn their backs on their old lives and start over. But then there was a murder in West Cork, and everything changed overnight.

[Contains Mature Themes] A body is found at the end of a path leading to three houses. The police, known in Ireland as “the Guards,” have little experience with serious crime in West Cork, and the victim - a French woman with a holiday home in the area - is a mysterious figure to locals. That night, as news of the murder makes its way through the community, everyone begins to question if they were ever truly safe.

[Contains Mature Themes] A game of cat and mouse ensues in which the Guards need more evidence and worry they’re being outsmarted by the prime suspect. The “Bandon Tapes,” secret audio recordings of the Guards, reveal the lengths they’re willing to go to convict their suspect - including planting spies wearing wires and other dubious tactics - to little success.

[Contains Mature Themes] While the case reaches a stalemate in Ireland, a parallel investigation in France - spearheaded by Sophie’s family - moves forward. The suspect finds himself confronted with new charges and the community grapples with the case. Sophie’s son - just 15 when his mother was murdered - visits his mother’s favorite pub in West Cork and shares a pint with the last known person who saw her alive.

[Contains Mature Themes] If the Guards’ prime suspect didn’t kill Sophie, who did? Theories abound: a “French connection,” a murderous horse, a misidentified man in a long black coat. There are promising leads that seem to have gone unpursued by the police, and the distinct impression that the case wasn’t nearly as strong as it originally seemed.

[Contains Mature Themes] Sophie Toscan du Plantier’s murder is big news in Ireland - so big that the suspect takes the newspapers to court for defamation, intending to clear his name with the public. But it backfires spectacularly when the newspapers round up angry locals to testify, air secret diaries, and reveal the suspect’s long history as a domestic abuser.

[Contains Mature Themes] On February 10, 1997, the Guards make an arrest in a well-orchestrated plan to ensnare their suspect. There’s an interrogation, a question of coercion, and an alibi that doesn’t quite hold up - but no confession. The charge doesn’t stick and someone close to the suspect appears to waver on his guilt.

[Contains Mature Themes] Born Sophie Bouniol, the well-connected French film producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier was 39 when she was murdered. In a place where no one could remember the last time a murder occurred, locals speculated that the killer must be an outsider. Rumors about Sophie and her love life, fueled by tabloids, flourished. But her quieter, more bookish side was reflected in the simple, white house she kept in West Cork, and known to those who loved her most.

[Contains Mature Themes] After the defamation trial, no one understands why the suspect is still a free man. But the case against him is quickly unraveling - there’s a new, seasoned lawyer, trouble with a key witness’ story, and questions about the legitimacy of the Guards’ investigation.

A blow-in from Manchester, England, the suspect has been grating on locals ever since he first arrived in West Cork.

[Contains Mature Themes] In the weeks following the murder, the picturesque vacation town of Schull (pronounced “skull”) near Sophie’s home becomes a very different place to live. With no answers, and the investigation focusing on locals, the townspeople start watching their neighbors more closely. And the Guards begin receiving anonymous calls about a strange man in town.

From the late 1940s through the 1950s, in a world where space travel and nuclear annihilation were no longer merely the stuff of fantasy, science fiction began to achieve a new popularity. And the work of noted genre writers began to be adapted in movies and radio programs. Based (however implausibly) on science, these radio broadcasts reflected the depths of the nation's fears and the boundlessness of its imagination. The science fiction series presented here offer adventures that seek to find a place for humanity in a world of machines.

Moving from the big city to the picturesque town of Sunnypoint seems perfect for Dillon and her mom.

As if that weren't bad enough, the tight-knit popular girls at her new school hate her instantly. Dillon finds solace with the quirky kids - Quinn, the film nerd, Birdie, the back-of-the-class wit, and Kumail, the history fanatic. Together they find a mysterious necklace in the trunk, and when Dillon wears it, all of her wishes seem to come true.
