yes, look for local programmings if you don't have NOVA, I live in Iowa, and I was STATIC when I found it was going to be on PBS.

Is PBS different in each region?
 
search pbs, go to the website, and I'm pretty sure it will have you type in your zip code, and it will check for you. Don't hold me responsibe, but I'm pretty sure that's what I did a couple months ago when I first heard about this series.

Shoot! I only get one channel at my house, and it isn't PBS, it's ABC. Oh well, hopefully those of you that watch it will be able to fill me in on the important/interesting stuff.
