Sci-Fi Channel series identification?

February 28, 2006 5:31 PM

One of the original Sci-Fi Channel shows. Help me remember the name of it.

It was on the air right at the very launch of the Sci-Fi Channel (1992 or 1993). It was a half-hour show focused on a variety of crackpot theories, pseudoscience, etc. Almost impossibly bad production values; the set consisted of a bespectacled guy seated at a desk in front of the camera, with -- if I recall correctly -- small plastic dinosaurs in front of him on the desk. The title was "Secrets of the Universe" or something like it (and no, it wasn't Philo from UHF). I know I didn't dream it. What's the name of this show, and is it on VHS/DVD anywhere?

Actually, according to google, it is "Mysteries From Beyond The Other Dominion". My bad.
