I would love to see old episodes on The Straight Dope. Are they coming to Youtube, or maybe a DVD set?
No you wouldn’t. Trust me, they were dreadful.
Cecil kept looking into the wrong camera. Truly embarrassing stuff.
I can’t find anything on the show, and I used the search terms “Straight Dope” and “Mike Lucas”.
Since this is about the TV show rather than the message board, Cafe Society may be better for this than ATMB.

Ah, why do you say that? I thought the TV show was awesome. It was my first experience with The Straight Dope and the television show conveyed its sensibilities perfectly: Witty humor plus factual research plus not glossing over the details the way ***all ***other science-y shows (still) do. I had never read or heard of the column or books before and I only happen to catch the TV show one night accidentally while channel surfing.
This, pretty much. I found the Boards because of the show, not the column. Now if I were to go back and re-watch the show, I might be more towards stuyguy’s view. A lot of things that I used to like make me cringe now when I think about them.
