I have no clue how it manages to pull off this feat each week, but Homeland gets better with each episode. Up next, “The Clearing” in which Carrie (Claire Danes) and the team struggle to regain control of their operation. Premiering on November 11, 2012 at 10pm, Showtime’s released two clips to further make us upset we have to wait a week between episodes.

In clip #1 (above), Roya (Zuleikha Robinson) lets Brody (Damian Lewis) know he’s going to have to be more involved in the plot. Clip #2 finds Dana (Morgan Saylor) torn between keeping the peace in her new friendship and coming clean about the accident.

The second clip finds Dana wanting to come clean about the accident.

The History channel announced Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men) will narrate their miniseries, Mankind The Story of All of Us. Set to premiere on November 13, 2012 at 9pm ET, the series spent two years in production and will air over six nights.
 
Commenting on his involvement, Brolin stated, “This ambitious television series captures the complex nature of man. How we as a species succeeded, shaped the world and thrived against all odds. HISTORY has always been committed to developing superb productions, combined with compelling educational programs that strive to inspire people to learn more about our world.”
 
“Mankind The Story of All of Us has the same spirit and daring storytelling that made America the Story of Us such a phenomenal success. But this time we’re going even bigger. This series will redefine history as we know it for people throughout the world – how it’s told, how it’s watched, taught and how it is experienced,” said Nancy Dubuc, President, Entertainment and Media, A+E Networks.
 
The Details:
 
“It takes nine billion years for the ideal planet to form, four billion more for the right conditions to emerge before it finally happens: mankind begins. From the dawning of time, mankind has faced numerous obstacles and made surprising leaps forward. In an epic overview of the human race, this fast paced story of us is history like viewers have never seen before. Each event has been chosen because it’s a key turning point— a stepping stone in our journey from hunter-gatherer to global citizen. Our story is all about connections— why some ideas take hold and spread around the world and how the lives of people in one part of the world are shaped by events in another.
 
Key points covered throughout the series include: surviving the Ice Age, discovering farming techniques, the sacking of Rome, empire-building under Genghis Kahn, inventing movable type, discovering the New World, the fall of the Aztec Empire, creating the Industrial Revolution, exploring space, re-engineering the human body and so much more. This is our story, a story of triumph and overcoming adversity. It is the story of all of us.
 
Mankind is a brutal fight for survival. The odds were against us at every turn – over 99% of all species of the earth have gone extinct. This series examines what is unique about us to have made humans the dominant species on the planet. This is a story of survival on a harsh brutal planet – against all odds, we survived.”

New Artist Spotlight: Bill Gentry

Rather than flow in one direction, similar to a storyline in a single song, Bill Gentry’s life has veered in a dozen directions. The son of a minister who died when he was 2, Gentry won the state 4-H performance contest, got kicked out of his high school band, was kidnapped along with two of his colleagues in a rock band, served as president of his junior college class, ran for city council, launched a successful data-compiling company, interned for Sen. Sam Nunn in Washington, was lovingly told by his sister that she never wants to sing with him again and most recently founded and ran Wild Bill’s, the huge and successful Country venue near Atlanta.

In that last incarnation, Gentry booked many of the biggest acts in the business. Though he’d never really stopped playing, being witness to great shows night after night rekindled Gentry’s determination to aim for his own place in the spotlight too.

He does so on his single, “Hell and Half of Georgia.” Written by Doug Johnson and Tim James, released on Oct. 22, its laid-back soulful groove, simmering gospel feel (think: “People Get Ready,” especially on the verses, with guitar licks borrowed from Tony Joe White) and images of paying dues as a musician suggest a deeply personal connection to Gentry’s life. And his singing, yearning with sweet pain, makes that suggestion beyond doubt.

IN HIS OWN WORDS

DREAM DUET PARTNER
“Dolly.”

FAVORITE FOOD ON THE ROAD
“Waffle House.”

WHAT YOU’D BE IF NOT AN ARTIST
“Governor of Georgia.”

MOMENT YOU’D LIKE TO RELIVE
“The opening night of Wild Bill’s – there were 5,000 people there!”

FIRST GIG
“My fifth-grade talent show. I took second place. Dang baton twirler!”

SOMETHING WE’D NEVER GUESS ABOUT YOU
“I am a clean freak.”
