Well, apparently PBS mislead us on this one. According to KQED in San
Francisco and contrary to what the TV guide published, the only show
scheduled was the first episode, which of course I missed and there is no
replay schedule.

Apparently they've had quite a few calls on this, so maybe someone might
notice... I figure most were probably P3D members!

They said that the rest of the episodes were not worth showing, and that
some local PBS stations *may* squeeze the others in on a Sunday morning or
sandwiched in with the home schooling stuff at some currently unknown times.

There is a video available by calling WQED in Pittsburg at 1-800-274-1307

So much for one of the half dozen most interesting shows of the year...
