Peabody Award for PBS NOVA “Judgment Day”

I don't watch a lot of the toob and don't get PBS in very well anyway, but I watched this'n and hit it lucky with the reception.

I'm waiting for it to come out on disk, if it hasn't already (haven't checked). It is a must-see for the skeptic and indeed, the curious believer as well.

Amazon has it for 18 bucks. I've ordered it.

Great show. I saw it on PBS and then in chapters on the internet. Also, look up Bush's War which I featured as my Evil Pick in our last Skeptic Summary.

PBS may be the one bright spot in television journalism, or media journalism in general.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

I pre-ordered it many months ago, after watching it online. It was worth the wait to get the DVD. Without the "artificial" financial support by the likes of crazy billionaire Howard Ahmanson and the like, the Dover debacle by itself (or a half-dozen other such ignominious defeats) would have killed ID by itself.

This is great news. I love NOVA in general but this episode certainly stood out as one of the best.
