An interesting new view of the destruction of Herculaneum is contained in Mike Bonner's long historical novel entitled THE FOREVER GIRL. It is available at Amazon Kindle. Check it out!

PBS was originally public only but a few decades ago was failing finacially. When the governement stepped in to help, it included clauses that allow it to "suggest" material to be broadcast. Consequently all dissident shows were dropped and things like sesame street were born.

Why is it that you can see this on PBS and is that not the public Chanel but we can not see it here

[chris2002Rocklin]

@1fishingphoul huh? PBS is a network, with each station both broadcasting and producing various media. Certain shows are popular and may seem universal somehow, but each station choose programming, choice implies less than all. Some show seem universal and there might be a few that 100% stations carry, but certainly the choice vary by station and thus region of reception (where you live). Go to your local station and check the schedule and lobby them to carry shows you miss / want.
