Looks like it could be an interesting program.

That's gonna be on TV? I wish it was in IMAX instead, even though I'd have to drive at least two hours to see it.

It will more than likely just be a show about some animal that was thought to be a Dragon, but really wasnt.

Dragonology
According to the previews, which look very cool BTW, the show is about how dragons could of been a real creature. Reminds me of that book written long ago about the possibility of dragons existing.
They show dragons with fore-limbs-as-wings (wyvren style) and with seperate forelimbs (traditional style). So they must address the big issue, how could a reptile evolve two new, highly functional limbs like wings. I wonder what their answer is.
The previews also make a big deal out of the universal legend of dragons, as if that is proof. As any student of Campbell knows, there are a lot of universal legends and myths out there, and this is some mysterious function of our pyschology. Carl Jung has said (I believe) it is a hidden memory from our very distant ancestors. Although this implies something incredible, that information can be carried genetically, it does explain a lot. Certainly a dragon looks like an amalgam of a dinosaur and a flying reptile like a pterosaur. If you buy the whole ancestral memory thing, it makes sense.
In any case, I fully intend to watch it.

I'm pretty sure it's based on this book: Dragonology.
I bought it for my nephews for Christmas and they loved it.
