Well, I watched the online version myself, a great story, and no commercials

Well, with PBS there are basically no commercials! (I say that fully aware that in recent years they've become more adapt at sneaking some commercial-like spots in under the sponsor guise between shows.)
I watched it after getting back from set and found myself wanting less Ballard and more Kohler with some Chatterton thrown in.

Near the beginning there was a lead-in to an ad, but the ad never happened, so they did cut at least that one. Does that mean you helped with the filming?

Thanks for the online link FW...looks like it will be an interesting episode.

No Forrest, when they shot this I was in your state working on my usual show. (Where I am now.)
It would have been fun to have been out there on this NOVA show, but there's only so many shots you can get of people sitting by monitors in a dark room....
I like how PBS basically has no commercials. After all, we (and the sponsors), are who pays for it all. So some small sponsor spots before or after the show is understandable but I sure would not want them to go full on commercial like "normal" television.
