Pam,
This is a new show. Earlier, American Experience did one named "The Duel", which focused on the famous Burr-Hamilton duel. Last year they did an outstanding program on "John and Abigail Adams". I'm a real fan of the these two folks and it was outstanding. Not quite as good as the recent David McCullough bio of John Adams or some of the other recent works on John and Abigail, but well handled. Usually, I feel like I'm walking through a mine field when I watch a PBS program as they can turn just about any subject into an anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-Christian or anti-tradition rant. Just my opinion, I guess.
