@squintzzz My two favorite shows growing up were Cosmos and Nova. Very educational, but just not the same as these lessons. Even Nova has become flashy and less dense in educational content. Now Frontline, while flashy and a wee bit on the sensational side, now that's an educational and thought provoking show.

Easiest way to survive magma or lava.... DUCK AND COVER!

@dcs002 pbs/nova are as educational.
