From our humble planet to the most awesome celestial bodies, immerse yourself in this spectacular exploration of our universe.

A show exploring the geological history of the planet we call Earth is fascinating programming and may be somewhat speculative because we were not there when it all began. But modern technology has enabled scientists to determine much of how our great blue planet evolved and how we can help preserve our quality of life on it. Those who presume we can actually cause serious harm to this intrepid rock we live on simply don't understand its origin and may benefit from watching this made for television series. Each episode covers a vastly different array of processes and geologic features of Earth such as study of the San Andreas Fault in California, the Krakatoa volcano in Indonesia, or the suggestion of a true Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. Our planet is so diverse and utterly fascinating in description that a TV show based on its history should be on everyone's list of top rated programs. Some four billion years ago this planet was just a molten rock that cooled, turned into rock, and eventually produced water and life forms, and eventually man kind.

Science fiction may bewitch, intrigue or beguile, but real science compels. "Nova" is the living proof. Aired in more than 100 countries, PBS "Nova" is the world's most watched documentary program and its most highly decorated, Humankind has yet to develop a television award "Nova" has not won"¦repeatedly. And for good reason: On "Nova," real scientists realistically discuss real areas of scientific investigation where real researchers are making significant discoveries. Now more than twenty years old, Nova's "The Miracle of Life" remains the most accurate and sensitive representation of the human reproductive process ever produced. Similarly, Nova's "Spy Machines" si generally regarded as the best-ever concise summary of "the Cold War" and the American-Soviet arms race. "Nova" reporters and photographers regularly take curiosity and cameras into places other brave correspondents would not even think about venturing, and they come back with breathtaking footage and groundbreaking reportage. Although American Public Broadcasting is tragically embroiled in a nasty political wrangle, critics and fans cling to their faith that "Nova" somehow can rise above the fray and continue its unrivalled work.

Thinking of the world of art and of New York City art galleries seldom brings to mind ideas of creating a reality based television show but we learn that even in that lofty world there can be plenty of politics, intrigue, and sleazy dealings going on. The artists involved in Work of Art must create art in some form or other and that may include the use of discarded old electric appliances to be formed into sculptures. The sculpture must in some way represent the artists personality or inner self. Contestants vary each week as to age and amount of artistic experience they have had. Simon de Pury, the host of an arts auction house will stop in to encourage the contestants and critique the work so far. Renowned artist Jon Kessler has appeared as guest judge and also gives some sage advice. How will models posing in the nude affect the show next? Will the contestants be distracted or will the judges themselves forget why they are there? This just might be the "shot in the arm" the program needs to liven up the series!
