Question Anyone know of any good science shows?

Does anyone know of any good TV or radio shows that are actually based on science? I'm thinking something along the lines of Dr. Dean Edell's radio show, but not limited to medical issues.

There's a plethora of pseudoscientific crap available, and even though some of it's entertaining, I would really like to be able to tune in to something real for a change. I try to keep up with current events by lurking in this forum, reading articles on PhysicsWeb, and, to a lesser extent, Slashdot, but there are times when it would be nice to have something I could watch or listen to instead of just reading.

Try Science Friday every friday afternoon on public radio. This is a really good science broadcast. Depending on your interests some Fridays will be better than others but it is always interesting. No pseudo science.

Yeah, I saw something about that just the other day - I think I'll have to get Showtime (or whatever channel it is) now.

Thanks, I'll have to give that a try.

*** Edited to add: Wow, it's got its own website (http://www.sciencefriday.com/), complete with audio archive. ***
