The more I see the new Star Gazers segments on PBS the more I miss Jack Horkheimer. There is nothing captivating about the personalities of the new hosts. It is not that they are doing a bad job. It is still an informative piece. James Aubury is the best presenter overall with a real feel for the content. He is friendly and to the point. Dean Regas appears to be trying too hard to be a character.

Anyone else have thoughts?

Well, he was made of star stuff, anyway.

Jack was fun, and he introduced me to Tomita. The world is diminished without him.
