The History Channel thread is what prompted me to make this topic. The cable TV educational channels may have gone to shit, but those seeking hardcore educational programing need only turn to PBS and this amazing series. 38 seasons. Nearly 700 episodes. Nova isn't dedicated to any one particular subject. You have politics, current events, ALL the different studies of science and physics, history. They've covered everything from Moissanite to Mummies. It's one of the greatest television series ever in my opinion, and nobody EVER talks about it.

And it's commercial free. Paid for by viewers like you.

I NEVER seek this show out. Mostly because I have no idea when it comes on. NOVA needs to do an episode on how PBS structures it's programing schedule. However whenever I see it on I HAVE to watch it.

PBS and Nova. Fuck yeah.

I remember watching Nova back to back with Nature on Saturday afternoons after cartoons were done, with my ranger rick books and safari cards. And that free jade elephant pendant on my neck.

THAT was documentary heaven.

I was a freakish kid I guess.

It is a good program. But it always seems second class to me since I grew up on Cosmos.

Love NOVA. I wish they were all on netflix and easy to find.

Looks like I'm watching Nova this weekend.

I remember the only time I seriously watched this show was during the 7th grade. There was an optional paper that we could write to increase our grade if we watched an episode and made it the topic.

Koch Brothers' propaganda.

One of the great things about NOVA and Frontline is all of the additional materials/transcripts/etc they post online

It's on right now in Boston MA. Japan Tsunami show.

Totally awesome.

NOVA is awesome! My friends and I used to watch taped episodes (ex: The Ghost Particle, The Great Robot Race, The Elegant Universe, The Missing Link, etc) while we played pool or played Magic on our lunch hour/spare periods in high school. Fun times. Our chemistry teacher got us into it.

When I took my undergrad neuroscience courses, we watched a few of the neurobiology bits because of how informative they were, and they post the transcripts and extra stuff online which is very helpful. I haven't watched it in a while, though. I really should whenever it's on again.
