Between 1990 and 1993 TVO had the two best shows about literature ever produced, anywhere. Imprint was the "serious" lit show which (at its best) enjoyed the strong interview skills of Daniel Richler and Guy Lawson. But Prisoners of Gravity was the real groundbreaker. For the first time, it allowed for serious examination of sci-fi/fantasy as socially relevant literature. It was layered and highly intelligent, yes -- but also huge fun. It taught me huge amounts about all kinds of literature and never ceased to surprise. TVO should invest in the lawyering required to get this thing into syndication on cable.... Its format and themes would have aged beautifully and I know it would be seriously successful if re-released.
