The best PBS series ever, 22 August 2003
Author: Jonah Falcon (jonahnynla@mindspring.com) from New York, NY



This has been a long-standing PBS series that is the gold standard for documentary series.

I remember watching as a child with fascination one episode about the Voyager spacecraft, and another about whales.

Long may she live!
