Masters of Science Fiction starts airing on ABC tomorrow, Saturday August 4. It's to feature filmed versions of stories by well-respected science fiction authors like Harlan Ellison, Robert Sheckley, and Robert Heinlein. The first episode is actually based on a short story by an old college professor of mine, John Kessel.

The series promises to be reasonably intelligent. Which is why they've scheduled it for Saturdays during August.

Check it out.
