In my elementary school we used to have the tv rolled in front of the classroom and the teachers would play James Burke history documentaries for us and I was completely mesmerized every time! He might just be the reason I love history so much today. He explained everything about a time period in such simplicity as if you never heard anything about it and you left completely entertained and educated. James Burke totally rocked my elementary world. Oh my gosh, what a blast from my past!

A slight stretch, but an admirable effort nonetheless. I loved Connections, btw. Throughout my entire childhood, my father (chemist by profession, astronomer by avocation and answering to either Dr. John or Daddy) would force me to watch PBS with him and probably half the time I was bored to the point of drooling. But Connections was one of the few non-Pythonian/Faulty Towers/Julia Child-esque exceptions that I'd sit through without whimpering and eventually pissing myself. Wow.
