179.0. "TV is Also a Medium..." by USFSHQ::SMANDELL () Mon Jul 28 1986 17:22

    There is a show on TV tonight that may be of interest to those
    interested in this notes file.  It is called (I *think*) World of
    the Unknown and is in WBZ - Channel 4 at 8:00.  Seems like it may
    be on the order of _In Search of..._.

    yes i caught some of the show and they showed people bending spoons
    after some guy who said it was all a bunch of bull also said he
    could do this him self. well even that was not enough proof. i've
    tried but i guess i'm not strongh enough to do this mindbending.

    I also caught "some of the show" [synchronosity? :-)]  and admit
    that it has a touch of _In Search Of ..._ ; however, the format
    is somewhat different.  They will show a phenomenon (metal bending,
    faith healing, etc.) and then have a two-person panel: one believer,
    one skeptic.  Each will express his or her opinion.
    
    The show is in its infancy; the next few episodes (there was a clear
    implication that there would be more such) will determine iof it
    grows into something interesting.

    Is this show going to be a series?  I thought it was just one primary
    episode - unless, it was a pilot.  The format is a clever one though,
    since if time permitted the two panelists could've gotten into some
    crazy arguments, but that could also be the show's downfall...
