View Full Version : NOVA special on PBS on 4/3 monty Mar 26th, 2007, 02:39am Someone posted on the yahoo ceph list that there's a PBS special on cuttles, particularly camouflage, on April 3 2007: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/camo/ Is NOVA shown internationally? Anyway, looks like a good show... erich orser Mar 26th, 2007, 02:58am Looks great! I'll certainly record this. Taddea Tentakel Mar 26th, 2007, 03:42am America only.....:sad: :sad: :sad: Toren Mar 29th, 2007, 02:24pm We get that channel in Canada. I'll be taping it! Animal Mother Mar 29th, 2007, 06:17pm THANK YOU!!! abanko Mar 29th, 2007, 09:55pm Hooray! I'm glad my Yahoo! post helped get the word out about the NOVA cuttlefish program! (You can usually order the DVD program for $20 (USD) after the program's first airing.) Cheers, Amanda (http://planet-mando.blogspot.com/) monty Mar 29th, 2007, 10:03pm :welcome: to TONMO, and thanks again for posting that to the yahoo ceph list! BTW, I noticed that it's on the HD PBS channel as well, at least in Los Angeles! Jean Mar 29th, 2007, 10:31pm :welcome: Amanda J Toren Mar 31st, 2007, 02:37pm After I watch it I'll be adding the info to "An incomplete list of recommended viewing for fans of large and amazing cephalopods" http://www.tonmo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5952 dwhatley Apr 4th, 2007, 02:21am Thanks for posting! In addition to other things, I did not know that there was a poisonous squid or that the Flamboyant (sp) also has a toxin. I wish it would have been longer though. I was also glad that they emphasized the short life span but it was still kind of hard to look at the female after it went to the lab :cry: Neal was also suitably impressed and I expect him to start looking for eggs to try again :wink: . Michael Blue Apr 5th, 2007, 05:14pm Yup, I'm one of several new members pressed on by that show. I've been a long-time fan of Ceph's, but only recently found this site. I had no idea the striped-pajama squid was toxic, and it's good they tested the flamboyant, with that species being unfortunately collected. I ordered my copy, and I wish I could replace my VHS "Incredible Suckers" with DVD as well, but I guess I'll have to convert it myself at home. I'll have to check out that list posted above; I'm sure I've missed other good programs! darwin4819 Apr 5th, 2007, 08:37pm does anybody know if you can download the nova program anywhere?... I missed it :cry: monty Apr 5th, 2007, 08:58pm It said at the end of it that you could order the DVD online for $20, I think. I don't remember if it was wgbh boston's web site or PBS... Looks like there's a "buy the video/dvd" link here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/camo/ Toren Apr 7th, 2007, 04:10pm I'm just re-watching my taped copy and it says "to order Call WGBH Boston Video at 1-800-255-9424" or http://shop.wgbh.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?storeId=11051&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&pageSize=20&nomem=true&searchText=kings+camouflage |
