The postcard-pretty series, based on the best-selling novels by Alexander McCall Smith, was filmed entirely on location in Botswana. A nearly unrecognizable Anika Noni Rose (Dreamgirls) costars as Precious' odd assistant.Read on for previews of Amazing Race 14, United States of Tara, Masterpiece Classic and The Simpsons.
