Biography: Ringling Brothers - Full Episode | TV-14

A full biography about the pioneers of the American circus, the Ringling Brothers.

The story of four circus-loving brothers--Al, Otto, Charles, John, and Alfie Ringling--who hit the road in 1884, acquiring exotic animals and hiring high-flying performers wherever they could. In the next 20 years, the Ringling Brothers went from being the sons of a harness maker to multi-millionaires, overtaking Barnum & Bailey and becoming the greatest circus producers in the world. John and Charles also delved into oil and real estate, and today the Ringling Brothers Circus is bigger than ever before.

  • Country Music Pioneers

    A uniquely American genre, country music got its start in the South in the early 19th century, when immigrants blended their Old World sounds with African-American musical styles. But it was the lives of the musicians, as told in their songs, that turned country into one of the best-loved musical styles in the United States. Listeners could relate to Jimmie Rodgers' stories of the railroad in "The Brakeman's Blues"; Hank Williams' struggle with depression in tunes such as "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"; and the promise of finding someone to rely on in George Jones' "Walk Through This World With Me." And its the universal struggles of love, loss, joy and longing found in each country song that keeps this music—and its performers—relevant throughout time.
