MARTHA SPEAKS returned for its sixth season on Monday, March 31, 2014 on PBS (check local listings). In the season opener, "T.D. Gives a Report," T.D. can't wait to share his idea for the report he will give in Mrs. Clusky's class, but he's crushed when he finds out that the Pony Express wasn't a train for horses. The following day, PBS aired a prank-filled "April Fools" episode, as Martha smelled deception when T.D., the King of Pranks, got an invitation to receive an award from the Wagstaff City Genius Society.
