    This show is really interesting!
    I have watched this show many times in class and loved it! I especially like the ones about the robots! They always are interesting and fun to watch. I always remember the things I learn in this show. Although I have never watched this at home, I recommend you watch this because it truly is a great show and Alan Alda is a great host.
