Just watched Phil “Bad Astronomy” Plait’s new Discovery Channel Show Bad Universe. Great stuff! He’s an enthusiastic and engaging host. We’ll be watching the whole series. Minor quibble: Phil uses his signature phrase “Holy Haleakala!” about six times too many during the hour. Maybe it’s just me. Overall, though, a thoroughly entertaining show. Check it out!
Phil live tweeted during the show “Sorry about all the Holy Haleakalas. I didn’t think they’d use *all* of them. :) #BadUniverse”
It’s not just you — Jenn at Blag Hag had the same complaint. Phil did apologize: “Sorry about all the Holy Haleakalas. I didn’t think they’d use *all* of them. :)”
Yep, that drove me nuts, too. But he apologized for it on Twitter: http://twitter.com/BadAstronomer/status/22490819981
