I’ve introduced my kids to the show “Connections” (all of the episodes are actually on YouTube). Who needs regular TV?

Do those TV shows still have the gay comedy relief character ?

The one with James Burke?
The show was/is brilliant.

I took a “History of Technology” class in college that was based around that show, and the book that went with it. Worthwhile.

Bump. Birch(sp) is the host, I believe.

"Connections" with James Burke is fabulous TV.

There's a book available as well. (Shortened Amazon link)

Thanks for the head’s up on the show “Connections.”

Ascent of Man and The Day the Universe Changed are two of my favorite shows ever and this looks to be along those lines.

There are definitely shows worth watching on PBS on occasion despite its uber-PCness.

We are watching Call the Midwife at the Moment and everyone loves it — my 89 year old mother thinks it’s a bit graphic though, LOL. Otherwise, great show.
