Notes
- ^ The film episode Eric Sevareid's Not So Wild a Dream is sometimes listed in news reports as Eric Sevareid: Not So Wild a Dream or as Eric Sevareid's "Not So Wild a Dream".
- ^ a b The film episode Liberators: Fighting on Two Fronts in World War II is not shown among an alphabetical listing of films on the American Experience series website.[62] However, the film aired as an American Experience installment on November 11, 1992.[63][64] WNET later refuted the claim that the racially segregated all-black 761st Tank Battalion and 183rd Engineer Combat Battalion liberated the Nazi death camps Dachau and Buchenwald in April 1945.[65][66]
