I spot the following in next week's TV Guide:

#  Tuesday, October 20
#  9 pm: RING OF TRUTH -- Science; 60 min.
#  
#  Debut: Physicist Philip Morrison hosts a six-part series that offers
#  "a sharp look at how science knows what it knows ... from jelly donuts
#  ... to distant galaxies."  The opener examines illusions to explain how
#  visual perception is imprecise because "the eye and mind want to find
#  continuous motion."

This listing is for WNED, one of the Buffalo PBS stations, where it is right
after Nova.  PBS being what it is, the date and time in your area may vary.

Philip Morrison is best known to me as Scientific American's excellent
book reviewer, though I know there are other things I should know him for.
Of course, we can't tell from this what level the show will be pitched at--
but I intend to watch at least the first one and find out.
