Connections by James Burke
One of the greatest shows of all time by one of the most underrated thinkers in existence. This show appeared across several decades and each time James Burke did an incredible job at not only presenting vast amounts of information but doing it in a way that promoted understanding and a sense of connectedness that would benefit every person that comes in contact with his great works. Another incredible show he produced is called The Day the Universe Changed.
