[Gemini1999]

Hey folks,

I just tuned in the last few minutes (by accident) of a two hour program called:

"Time Machine: Fantastic Voyage: Evolution Of Science Fiction"

Here's a description of the program:

Mary Shelley shocked and captivated 19th century readers with her tale of a man-made monster. H.G. Wells won legions of fans with his visionary worlds and futuristic tales. And six of the top-ten grossing films of all time have told stories set in imagined settings, populated with strange creatures, fantastic worlds and imaginary technology.

FANTASTIC VOYAGE charts a course of discovery through the history of science fiction, from its origins in the changing world of the Industrial Revolution through the explosion of genre magazines like Amazing Stories and onto the silver screen. See how the stories have evolved and matured over the years, and see sci-fi filmmaking unfold through clips from classics like A Trip to the Moon, King Kong, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Author Greg Bear, directors Robert Wise (Star Trek) and Roger Corman (The Pit and the Pendulum, Little Shop of Horrors) and Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner, are among the many insiders interviewed for this fascinating survey of a genre that continues to inspire, challenge and entertain us.

What little bit of the show I did see, looked pretty good, but I couldn't find another future air date on their website. If you go to the A&E website, the show is available on video... Damn! I wish that I'd seen the whole thing!

Best,
Bryan
