When watching the shows I always wondered about his credentials, It wouldn't have bothered me if he wasn't an academic, but I was curious.

Their show on the geological histrory of earth was excelent as well, but the progaramming has been lacking as of late. I hope some new series are in the pipeline. Ax Men is not doing it for me.

I totally agree. The history channel lately has way too many shows on ufos, monsters and ax men.

check out robo cop at 1:19 into the show

I've seen a couple, and it is a good show, but I guess my interest in gangs and organized crime is not what it used to be. I always like Modern Marvels and Dog Fights. I have not seen Battle 360 yet.
