I agree with you wholeheartedly on this one. These videos helped fuel my love of paleontology as a kid. Sure they are entertainment, but they have snippets of information here and there (especially when they interviewed experts). And you have to give kudos to “Prehistoric World” for talking about evolution in some sense (interviewing Dougal Dixon about possible animals of the future). I wonder if TLC’s Paleo World was the last documentary to take a truly scientific approach (National Geographic has come close many times, IMHO). Anyway, i got all four episodes up in the attic (did they ever make anymore after “Prehistoric World”?). I hope to cover them on my youtube channel if i can ever get my video capture device to work (want to make a cameo if i ever do?).

One I liked from a few years ago is “Messages in Stone” narrated by Leslie Nielsen.

Actually, National Geographic’s Jurassic CSI essentially has Phil Manning as a host, or at least as a central focus (although someone else does narration).
