Here's a Potential Good Show that MPT is Not Promoting

When watching PBS, it like you have to find the diamonds in the rough yourself. PBS especially MPT seem not to promote every show. Wired: Science is one of them. As a matter of fact, I found that show is going to premire tommorrow.

So what's this program about?
WIRED SCIENCE is a one-hour primetime program that translates WIRED Magazine's award-winning journalism into a fast-paced television show. A co-production of KCET/Los Angeles, the West Coast flagship station of PBS, and WIRED, the pre-eminent science and technology magazine, WIRED SCIENCE brings WIRED Magazine's cutting edge vision, stylish design, and irreverent attitude to the screen with breakout ideas, recent discoveries, and the latest innovations.

The pilot episode takes the viewer into the world of meteorite hunters, where space, commerce, and art intersect, travels to Yellowstone National Park to harvest viruses which may hold the key to a technology revolution, and dives underwater to find NEEMO, NASA's extreme astronaut training program. Viewers will meet rocket belt inventors, stem cell explorers, and the developer of an electric car that goes zero-to-60 in under four seconds. As a series, WIRED SCIENCE will span the globe to uncover novel developments in biomedicine, space exploration, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, robotics, and military technology.
Nice, real nice. I read some issues of Wired before while at the University of Maryland,I liked the magazine, but I did not expect them to make a TV series. Not to mention that this may be a great show for any teenagers in the family. A shame really that MPT is not promoting this at least seven days before becuase they rather focus on the highest commondenomiator: Affluent White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.
