This show finally premiered on Thursday and in case you missed it - as I did - it airs again Saturday night at 9 PM and repeats at 1 AM on Sunday. It normally airs Thursdays at 10 PM, with a rerun early the following morning. 

The first episode is about protest songs, some dating back to the start of last century, working its way up to the 60s and beyond, the era of the Vietnam War, Black Panthers, and more. 

In case you're not sure if this show is for you, there's a closer look at the debut here. 

Next week's topic concerns 9/11 and the music that was out in that fateful time in 2001. I'm guessing other tragic moments will be referenced as well. 

Just one caveat: CNN has a terrible habit of interrupting these shows for breaking news, which is expected for an all news network, But during their History of Comedy series, they continually preempted the final few shows for what was essentially reruns of Anderson Cooper or other previously aired specials on breaking stories from several hours earlier - most predictably involving their public enemy number one (and big ratings getter), Donald Trump.

In fact, I never saw the final two or three episodes of that Comedy series, despite setting my DVR to record it every single time it was scheduled. To my knowledge none of those final installments were ever aired and I still have no idea why or if they ever will appear. Still, they promise more new episodes are coming "this summer" so maybe they're holding the missing shows back until then.    

I hope they fare better with their "Soundtracks" scheduling. 

CNN Soundtracks: Songs That Defined History  

CNN's ridiculous scheduling department strikes again! Despite guide listings that say the Soundtracks show will air at 9 PM Saturday, it's actually going to be shown at 11 for some reason. Adjust your DVRs accordingly.
