Here in Las Vegas yesterday I was at the Venitian and had the chance to see a tv show as part of audience research.

It's cool - they give you popcorn and stuff like mugs, t-shirts, anywhere from $2 to $15, etc, for about an hour of your time to sit there, watch the show, rate the content by a dial 'boring to interesting,' and answer some questions.

Anyway yesterday I saw a show called 'Supervolcano,' from the looks of it to be seen on Discovery channel. It was a new idea they have - dramatazations of disasters etc peppered with a lot of scientific info, a new 'dramatic' way to do a documentary, I guess.

It was hideously bad - about the volcano under old faithful erupting and causing the end of the world. Just poorly done.

Anyway, they ran a trailer for a show, "Pompeii: The Last Day' based on some new info and research. It was a drama also but it looked AWESOME! I was bummed that they didn't show us that, instead!

Keep an eye out on cable for the 'Pompeii' special!

Thanks, I will. I'm more interested in super-volcanos though.

I've never seen TV folks anytime I've been to the V, and I've been several times. Where do they hang out?
