Has anyone else caught the NOVA special (CH6) on Einstein's theory of Relativity and the scientists whose work led up to it. I was fascinated.

    It appears that NOVA is no longer carried by Georgia Public TV. I've always liked that show. Ever since 6th grade when we got extra Credit in science class for watching it. I have my DVR set to record it, but it has not gotten any new (or rerun) episodes in almost a year.

    I forgot about that channel. I think I watched tv about eight or nione months ago. No a real big tv fan, that is why I am on here. My wife watches tv and play on the computer. [;)]

    While I do think that NOVA is a great show, I don't think PBS is necessary and that it's funding should be cut. If the show is really great it will be picked up by another network.

    I agree PBS should be thrown to the curb. If the shows are good there are 15 channels that will pick up a good science show. NOVA and Nature should survive. The rest of the rot that takes up their bandwidth can go away. Especially now that Red Green can be seen on Comedy Channel and other places...
