Oil of olé!

Women have been fighting for years for equality in the male-dominated arena of bullfighting, and the struggle still goes on. The PBS series "P.O.V." looks at female toreadors Maripaz Vega and Eva Florencia in "Ella Es El Matador" (which translates as "She Is the Matador") at 10 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, on WTTW Channel 11. Written, produced and directed by Gemma Cubero and Celeste Carrasco, it's a co-presentation with Latino Public Broadcasting.

Fall season preview

Next week is September, which means, like leaves falling from the trees, the upcoming formal start of the fall TV season. CBS gets a jump on promotion with the "CBS Fall Preview" at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2, on WBBM Channel 2. The cast of "How I Met Your Mother" plays host to the special.

If the original film "The Terminator" was sheer genius in projecting a time-travel action story involving a war between man and machine, the sequel "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" was almost as brilliant in converting Arnold Schwarzenegger's title villain into not only a hero, but the only father figure who makes sense in an insane world. It's at 6 p.m. Friday -- rerun at 9 -- on Bravo.
