'Riding the Wave' is a weekly half hour TV show produced and transmitted from Babylon .5. Each episode explores a theme/topic in fandom (such as Villains, Time travel, Tolkien, or Censorship).
Using a network of Fen and Fendanes on Earth, the show's producers interview various authors, directors, actors, comicbook writers, ect. The interviews usually get the person's views on as many as a dozen topics in one sitting which are then spread out amongst the appropriate episodes.
The show's format and look are both heavily inspired by the canadian TV program 'Prisoners of Gravity' which ran from 1989 to 1994, even to the point of replicating Prisoner's 'pirating' of another show's timeslot.

All of the recent story posts finally got me to finish one of the ideas I had bouncing around.
Prisoners of Gravity was produced by TVOntario (TVO), ran from '89 to '94, and starred Rick Green (The Frantics, The Red Green Show, History Bites)

The intro for Prisoners of Gravity would fit so well into Fenspace, despite been made more than a decade before hand. 8P
(starts around 1:08 into part 1 below)
There are several episodes on Youtube (usually broken into 3 ten minute sections) including this one I found, discussing Shared worlds. 8)
