thebitterguy for pointing this out via Facebook earlier tonight!
To explain:
Back in the early 1990's, I learned of this little treasure on TVOntario put together by Rick Green, Mark Askwith and a bunch of other people called Prisoners of Gravity.
It was a show about science fiction, each instalment covering a different theme or sub-genre. Interviews with most of the names of the day, whether from novels, comics, TV...it was Space Channel before we actually had Space Channel on the cable dials of Canada.
When it went off the air for the last time, word got out that legal issues of one sort or another would likely do a "WKRP"-style number on hopes of ever seeing it again within the law.
Looks like TVO won the good fight, people:
