That information will be forwarded to a director who, with "NOVA" senior executive producer Paula Apsell, will determine what portions will be used, and re-enacted.

This ought to be good. It would be more entertaining if they could get famous celebrities to play the characters.

There has to be a part for Jack Nicholson in here somewhere.

For the "I CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!" line?

Perhaps they could do the one where the Creationist Witness claimed that he lied but it was due to his drug addiction. Congressman Kennedy later adopted this very same strategy.

An excellent suggestion!

[Stultis]

but it has become impossible to watch anything on PBS

I still find Great Performances, Soundstage, Austin City Limits (which I never miss) and American Experience quite palatable. The AE's this season on Sam and Abagail Addams, and on Seabiscuit, just for instance, where excellent.

Even the doc shows Frontline and Frontline World are often good. It depends on the producer(s), which varies(y) from episode to episode.

And of course there's The WSJ Editorial Report. (Airs ONCE at some ludicrous late-night hour on my PBS station, but I Tivo it.)

And we know PBS is always very fair and balanced in their approach to evolution.

We all know they're lefties, but that has nothing to do with science -- except in a few politicized issues like global warming, but we're probably in agreement there. Aside from a fews areas like that, science is fact-oriented, with no political content. I wish some conservatives could learn that lesson. If PBS just sticks to the trial transcript, without editorializing, that will be quite satisfactory to this conservative, and to the 470 others on my ping list. The facts of the trial speak for themselves, and the show might be interesting if it's a straight documentary.

Alas, this show probably will further the leftist agenda. It gives the lefties at PBS an opportunity to embarrass the entire conservative movement. We've been warning about this for years. The MSM, and that includes the people at PBS, are delighted when they're handed this kind of situation, so they can -- oh so delicately -- hint that "all" conservatives are anti-science dimwits. That's the spin they'll probably apply, thanks to the foolishness of the Dover school board and the ammunition they've given to the dems.

LOL! Excellent.

Dang! I wish I had seen that.

You and me both, old chum! I thought it would be the talk of Darwin Central, but I guess not :-/.

I'd also hoped that the South Park boys would take on ID and creatardation in a show, but what can I say-the Simpsons did it first!
