What channel?

Oh, and I don't want to believe there was a second gunman; that would mean someone running around loose the last 45 years. (Okay, who is probably now dead unless they were young for an assassin at the time. Not the point.) But that's a discussion for another board--though I will ask one thing. If they do a JFK show, can we talk about it here?

As I understand, it's a pilot.

It's homeless.

Not all pilots are. (Believe me, I know--I once saw a pilot made for, I believe, CBS that never made it to the air. Because it was awful.) However, if it is, it may well either be syndicated or for the Great History/Discovery Conglomerate.

All signs to me are that a small production company (New Rule Productions) developed it and they are shopping it around, not that a big channel ordered it for evaluation.

Discovery Communications offers similar, so it might be a good home. On the other hand, they already offer similar.

Skeptologists is a homeless show. It's got a shoestring budget and is intended to be shopped around. Brian Dunning (of Skeptico) is one of the producers. It's got a decent cast, including our Phil, Michael Shermer of CSI (that's Center for Skeptical Inquiry, not the lets-pretend-to-do-forensics show), Steve Novella of Skeptics Guide to the Universe and El Presidente of the New England Skeptical Society, and notable others I'm less familiar with.

To quote the lolraccoon: "Really Really Want!"

That is a good cast. And a good idea. I guess I could get used to "Skeptologists."

And I thought this might be a show about the study of skeptics and skepticism...
