The show was called "Creation of the Universe".  I thought it was not all 
that bad esp. since the subject really hadn't been approached in an hour
T.V. show before.  I don't think it was intended for the heavy weights of
physics but as a layperson I thought it was reasonable alternative from
the normal bull on network T.V.  I'm happy that these subjects are being
addressed.  Things like Cosmos, Nova, and various other science productions via
PBS are absolutely great.

See the above.

Shows like the Creation of the Universe are not very easy to do But they
are relative easy to get funding for.  There is not a lot of experience in
the production of these type of shows. Unlike the Soaps, Sitcoms, and stuff
like that.  I am sure you would be an excellent candidate to produce a 
original and decent science show.  I know I am gonna give it a try. By
the way, I missed "The Ring of Truth.  Hopefully, I'll get a chance to see
it.
