I do sometimes watch that, yes. Although it's not especially easy 
figuring out when it's actually on TV. But if somebody else discovers 
that it's on, I'll sometimes sit and watch it.

I think meeting Mr Fry might possibly be almost as interesting as 
meeting Einstein. ;-)

You could live in a dark hole under a rock somewhere and you'd still 
know who Einstein is. ;-)
