Committee for Skeptical Inquiry

[Barry Karr <SkeptInq@AOL.COM>]

Dear CSICOP List Reader:

I want to draw your attention to a new show to premiere soon on the Discovery
Science Channel.  The show is called "Critical Eye" and it was produced in
cooperation with CSICOP and the Skeptical Inquirer magazine.

Many of you have already seen the 3-4 minutes shorts currently being run on
Discovery Science, which are titled "Skeptical Inquirer."  The new show is
modeled upon these shorts, but will be an hour long and examine several
topics within each episode.

CSICOP did not have final script approval, but we did contribute a great deal
of time to them, as well as most of the skeptical guests presented.  We have
high hopes for the final product, which is still being worked upon.  It think
it pretty safe to say that the skeptical point of view will be very well
represented.  William B. Davis (The X-Files-smoking man),  will be the series
host. He is a longtime reader and supporter of the Skeptical Inquirer and had
been instrumental in keeping the show true to its mission.

I hope you can mark the airdates on your schedule, and then let us know your
thoughts.
