Absolutely! I loved both Connections and The Day the Universe Changed. The episodes that stand out were one where he took a whack at a cow carcass with a claymore to show how battle looked in the old days and one where he was out in a boat discussing swamp gas. Excellent stuff!
He was recently on an episode of the podcast "Dan Carlin's Hardcore History". It was like listening to one of the old shows - he starts talking, and one thing leads to another.
The only thing I've seen comparable lately is when "Mythbusters" is checking into the historical likelihood some technology existed.
"Universe" is on Netflix - I've added them so I can see how well they've held up.
