Entertaining AND Education? Say WHAT?!

I spent a fair portion of this weekend watching ETV and PBS. I learned things, and it was actually kind of fun. Weird right?

So, I had to share a few shows.

First up is a period piece set in 1930's England from PBS called "Upstairs Downstairs". It addresses the duality of the classes.

Watch the full episode. See more Masterpiece.

Plus, it brings in actual historical events such as the resignation of the king. More interesting than I made it sound, I promise. (Missed it? Don't get PBS? Not from the states? You can watch it online by clicking here.)

Also, there's this documentary called "Human Planet" by Discovery Channel. I saw previews for it, but haven't managed to find it on television yet, but the clips I've seen are really interesting. Here, check this out:

I know, dorky right? Well, what did you think you were getting into when you started reading a blog with the word "geekery" right in the title? Exactly.
