Re: [TCML] TV Heads UP: Tesla, History Channel, 14 May, 8PM, EDT

Hey Jeff,

Great job! I had a blast watching the special! I enjoy Modern Marvels 
format and I thought they did a great job here as well. Sure, it would 
be great to have the time to inlay much more detail, but still, the show 
was interesting and as David pointed out, I was impressed with their 
attention to giving credit to Tesla for his inventive spirit and how 
that spirit changed our world. I think they really drove that aspect 
home to the crowds enjoying the show.

The bicycle analogy was too cool! Got a real kick out of that. Really 
enjoyed Sam's glass shattering demo as well.

Kudo's to all of you involved!

There are probably some on the TCML that missed it. Will they be running 
the special again soon?

Take care,
Bart
