American Masters Episode Issue

I see that there are a list of 13 new episodes for this season for the PBS series American Masters. But there is nothing listed between February and May.

We just got our new PBS guide for March and they list an American Masters episode about Patsy Cline (on Thursday March 16 here in Chicago). I looked through all the past seasons and it doesn't look like this is an old repeat. How can we check to see if this is a new episode and, if so, add it to the current seasons list?

I have checked some sites with press releases, so far I cannot find anything about that episode, but as the date comes closer , we will surely see if that episode will air and we will add it as soon as we see a confirmation :)

OK, even though I've seen the episode now, I'm still confused. Our local PBS viewing guide called it an American Masters episode but it wasn't presented that way when it came on the air.

It was called "When Patsy Cline was Crazy", and nowhere in the credits was American Masters mentioned. But as they were hawking the DVD during the pledge break, they were showing the cover of the DVD. And along the bottom of the DVD it clearly said "An American Masters Documentary".

So where does that leave us? Does it really have anything to do with the normal American Masters series, an American Masters special or nothing to do with American Masters?
