Prisoners Of Gravity
 

Prisoners of Gravity was a Canadian public broadcasting television news magazine program that explored speculative fiction — science fiction, fantasy, horror, comic books — and its relation to various thematic and social issues.

I'm quoting that from the Wikipedia entry because I couldn't put it any better. I was a huge fan of the show when it aired and wish that there was something like it today. It had in depth interviews with Sci-Fi authors and filmakers through a cleverly low budget format that really clicke.

Unfortunately due to rights issues with much of the interview footage, there will likely be no DVD release, no matter how much it deserves one.

Thankfully there are at least three of the half-hour episodes on Youtube, broken into three part clips.

If you're a fan of Science Fiction and other speculative fiction you should definitely check this out.

Here are the clips for an episode titled "Science and Technology"

Oh, and don't be fooled by the opening. You'll get it. :D

I loved this show when it was on and really miss it.

If I could, I would re-make this series in heartbeat. Hmm... all I need is a job at a television station that airs sci-fi or is open to speculative fiction.

I'm going to have to get right on that.

oh man... I completely forgot about this show. I always watched it. I guess I was a total geek, but man was it good.

Thanks for the reminder!
