An idea for a television series

Pseudoscience! - shot on 16mm film and featuring dramatic voice-over narration and a synthesizer-heavy soundtrack in a stylistic homage to 1970s pseudo-documentary programs like In Search Of..., Pseudoscience! will trace the historical development of easily-debunked modern myths like the Da Vinci code, mayan calendar prophecies of an apocalypse in 2012, satanic child-abuse cults of the 1990s, the biological basis of race, pre-millenial tension, extra-terrestrial encounters and more, in order to demonstrate that the stories behind them are often more fascinating than the myths themselves.
