Personally, I find that kid shows and some stuff on PBS make up the overwhelming majority of "educational" TV. The rest is there primarily to entertain and suck you in, not teach you anything.
I love NOVA. I miss the days when the Discovery channel played nothing but nature and dinosaurs and sharks and such. None of this Man vs. Wild and Mythbusters crap they have on now.
(Though I will admit I have a soft spot for Mike Rowe. He can stay.)
