     Yes, I loved it as a kid. But in the past 20 years, as attention spans have shrunken to flea-size, I can't stand NOVA and refuse to watch it. The editing is rat-a-tat machine-gun style, as in "ooh! look at this! NO! look at this! NO THIS! ahhh hey this! and what about THIS! and check THIS out! did I mention THIS! and THAT! look at THIS! here's something! and more! more! more!" I mean it's effing nuts, as if the show is scared to death someone might aaaaaaagh flip the channel aaaargh 😱😱😱😱
