| I hope NOVA is taking this issue seriously. I do not like the
fact that Lily Tomlin is hosting part of this show (see this week's
TV GUIDE). NOVA usually makes their shows very interesting and
educational on the merits of the scientific topic alone, not through
flashy gimmicks like many network science programs are.
We are on the verge of dicovering planets in other solar systems,
and I have no doubt that alien life will be found not too long after
this; and especially since this discovery would have profound affects
on human society, it should be prepared for properly and taken
seriously.

| 243.3 | FOR A TRANSCRIPT OF THIS PROGRAM... | EDEN::KLAES | Is anybody out there? | Wed Nov 19 1986 12:15 | 16 |
| If you don't have a VCR (like me, sob!), you can get a transcript
of the NOVA program by sending a check for four dollars ($4) to
this address:
NOVA
Is Anybody Out There?
Box 322
Boston, MA 02134
It was an excellent program, and Lily Tomlin did a very good,
intelligent, and sometimes funny narration. It will be on again
(for those in the Boston area) on Channel 2, WGBH, on Saturday,
November 24, at 2 p.m.

| I didn't see the program, but perhaps Lily Tomlin was narrator because of her
Search for Signs of Intelligent Life on This Planet?

| 243.5 | RE 243.4 | EDEN::KLAES | The lonely silver rain. | Thu Jan 29 1987 10:29 | 9 |
| Yes, that is exactly why - to help catch the general public's
interest in that particular NOVA program. I guess they figured
Lily Tomlin is an "Earthly" enough "link" for the public to grasp
the concept of extraterrestrial life (you'd think after all the
years of growing speculation and E.T.-type movies, the public would
be more comfortable with such a subject).
