even better than Connections is "The Day the Universe Changed" I've probably watched through it 3 times at least now.

No shit? I just came here to say JAMES BURKE'S CONNECTIONS RULES ALL! But you beat me to it.

Or James Burke's Connections series, at least the original one. Still quality material.

There's actually good evidence that the pyramids were built by well-respected paid laborers, not slaves.

I was there. It was much funnier in person. :) Rooker pretty much stole the panel with his hilarity and irreverence, with Bautista more soft-spoken.
