Big Time Bake

A new episode called “Roaring ’20s” sends four bakers back in time, figuratively speaking, as they are challenged to create cookies, cupcakes and a showpiece cake straight out of the 1920s decade, although bathtub gin probably won’t figure into the proceedings. When the wild baking party is over, judges Buddy Valastro, Dan Langan and Kristen Tomlan evaluate their efforts and send the best baker on an all-expenses-paid vacation.

American Experience

With American voting rights becoming more and more of a key issue in the upcoming 2020 presidential election, “The Vote” — a new two-part, four-hour documentary concluding Tuesday — is a timely look back at the epic fight American women waged to secure their right to vote. Focusing mainly on the final decade of that struggle, the film charts this determined march to the ballot box, despite multiple social, political and cultural obstacles.
