Prisoners Of Gravity is a highly acclaimed Canadian TV show
created by Mark Askwith, Daniel Richler, and Rick Green that ran on TV Ontario from 1989 to 1994. It was hosted by actor Rick Green and featured discussions on science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comics. In its 139 episode run, Rick interviewed over 600 authors, filmmakers, animators, comic book legends, and futurists. Many of these interviews
ended up in John Clute and Peter Nicholls's CD-Rom version of the The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction.
The Space
Channel is currently airing reruns of Prisoners of Gravity every morning at 7:00 am.
Webmasters note: I happened to meet PoG co-creator, Mark
Askwith at Ad Astra in Feb 2000. I later got a chance to talk about PoG with
Mark over E-mail. He sent me a very interesting article called Prisoners
of Gravity: Favorites/Bests and gave me permission to post it here.
He also sent me the Original Episode List
for the very first run of PoG. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I
did.
