TV shows that promote skeptical thought? Exploring the Unknown

I'm a high school physics teacher who has been using the Discovery channel
series "MythBusters" in order to interest my students in critical thinking
and cultivate a skeptical mindset in our student body. Their show has
generated a great, positive response amongst students in my classes.

However, Mythbusters is somewhat limited in its scope, and I'd like to
expose my students to a television series that I have recently heard about,
"Exploring the Unknown". I read in Skeptic magazine that this show ran on
the Fox Family Chanel.

However I have never seen an episode, and I cannot seem to find a source.
Has this series been released on DVD or videotapes? If not, are there any
plans to release this series?

If you have any information on this show, or on any series or mini-series of
a similar nature, please let me know. I have already posted this request to
the sci.skeptic Usenet newsgroup, but I thought that physicists would have
good suggestions along these lines.

(I am already aware of Penn & Teller's Showtime TV series, "Bull***", but
while their show encourages skepticism, it focuses on arguments and
ridicule, and not the scientific method. It also uses foul language and
crass humor instead of analyzing claims analytically. It thus is not useful
for my purpose.)

Thanks for any suggestions,

Robert Kaiser
