Supernatural Investigator is "Unsolved Mysteries for braniacs"

Out of the blue, a lovely article about me and Supernatural Investigator, the series I host for Canada’s Vision TV, which is having its season finale tonight. The article, by Alex Strachan for the Canwest News Service, begins:
Mississauga writer Robert J. Sawyer will have a flashy new sci-fi drama series on network TV this fall, adapted from his book Flashforward.
All of a sudden, he’s everywhere. These past few weeks he has hosted VisionTV’s self-explanatory Supernatural Investigator, and in tonight’s season finale, the program turns its inquiring mind on the peculiar 1961 alien- abduction case — an alleged alien abduction? — of Barney and Betty Hill in New Hampshire.
And the article concludes:
No moss grows on Sawyer, by the way. As you are reading, he has taken up his new position as writer-in-residence at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) physics-research centre in Saskatoon. Imagination is at the heart of both artistic and scientific endeavours, Sawyer commented on his blog, “and the science being done in Canada is world-class.”
So are TV shows about paranormal investigations.
Supernatural Investigator is Unsolved Mysteries for brainiacs, who like a little science with their fiction. (VisionTV, 10:30 ET/7:30 PT)
