Hear, hear!! Between_Time_and_Timbuktu:_A_Space_Odyssey is one of my
all-time favorites (along with Lathe_of_Heaven, which
I consider one of the best sf films ever, especially given its small budget).
Between_Time... was based on several Vonnegut books, but I don't know
if he did the screenplay. I've often wondered if PBS offers tapes of
its shows, and I still don't know, so I'd be interested if anyone does know.
Since alot of the shows are produced by the local PBS stations, there might
be some problem as to who owns them, which might prevent there being
available. Still, I think it'd be a great way for PBS to earn money.
Sure beats the hell out a Pledge Drives!
