SeaDour writes "The much-anticipated NOVA mini-series Origins begins tonight on PBS (check local listings for time). Hosted by Neil de Grasse Tyson, an astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City, the ambitious show plans to journey all the way to the Big Bang and back again, "blending astrophysics, geology, chemistry, biology and even paleontology to knit together insights about the structure of the universe, the creation of planets and the foundations of life itself." MSNBC has an interesting write-up on the show that's been four years in the making."

Sadly, this potentially great mini-series will either be pre-empted by Nip/Tuck (my fault) or [insert inane reality show here] (the wife).

Frankly, Nip/Tuck is a legitimate excuse for missing such nerdy/intellectual public broadcasting Nova fun. Why? Boobies! Hotties! BOOBIES and HOTTIES, MAN!

However, seeing a naked gay guy run around the dumpster side of a resort island touting his immunity challenge win in a "survival" competition does not supercede Nova.

But boobies and hotties do. ;-)
