I would love to see old episodes on The Straight Dope. Are they coming to Youtube, or maybe a DVD set? ---

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. Colibri General Questions Moderator ---

> [@stuyguy](#): > > No you wouldn’t. Trust me, they were dreadful. 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. ---

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.
