SCIFI does not have enough good non-fiction programming. GHOST HUNTERS is pretty good, though they never captureanything great on film, but that SCIFI INVETIGATES show with Rob (my 15 minutes should have been up a long time ago) Mariano was a waste. Hopefully this production will be good.  

I like it so far, though it's only 10 minutes in.

I just finished watching the second episode. Not quite as good as the series premiere. Especially, the way the host made not-so-subtle fun of Tom the Guide's phobia about ghosts. I, myself, may not be the most p.c. guy in the world. But, the host's flippancy, in this case, was definitely and totally inexcusable.

As for the alleged iguanodon, in last week's episode? Let's look at the facts. All paleontological evidence points to their having been herbivores (=vegetarians)! Whereas, all the witnesses interviewed say it has eyes that glow red in the dark, and they think it's been eating their dogs. American alligators are known to have both those tendencies. So, it stands to reason that crocodiles share them. Especially, the salties of Australia and New Guinea.

Last, but not least? It looked as if something was _jumping_ around, high in those branches. As opposed to something tall brushing against them. And, personally? I think it was just a nocturnal tree kangaroo! Those marsupials occupy the same ecological niche, in New Guinea, that monkeys do in tropical countries elsewhere. So, I'm going to watch one more episode of this "innovative new series." If (repeat: IF) the host doesn't act a little more professional, by next Wednesday, I'm boycotting the rest of the series. Which will be followed by an e-mail to Scifi.com to cancel it, altogether.
