[Yo-Yo]

The original Connections series was the best non-fiction television series ever.

His later efforts at sequels seemed forced with tenuous connections, and paled in comparison.

But the original was absolute genius.

“The original Connections series was the best non-fiction television series ever.”

It was fantastic, and as far as any series dealing with science it was certainly the best ever.

But I’d have to give “The World at War” series #1 billing, with “World War I” (narrated by Robert Ryan) either #2 or #3. Of course, I’m a history geek first, and science second (and, yes, the two subjects often intersect, we ARE a technological species).

The big shame is that the DVDs for Connections is very seldom available, and is usually in the range of $100 when it is, in used condition. I can’t find it streaming anywhere...but would welcome information to the contrary from anyone.
