It is on the national geographic channel. I am viewing it as I make this post.  Looks good.
Ponding is coming into its own.

Only problem with it is it is about Aquascape, a company that pushes the absolute worst kind of pond to emulate.  They use no bottom drains and put rock and gravel on the bottom.  That necessitates emptying, power washing and refilling every spring.  Then you have a virtually new pond each year that requires cycling all over again.  Then they can sell you chemicals to reseed your filters with bacteria, kill algae blooms and adjust your pH.  They can then sell you ion generators and yearly contracts to do all the required cleaning and maintenance.  Sadly, these people end up giving ponds a bad name.  They are very successful at what they do, but are certainly not the model to follow.

I MADE MOST OF THE POST WHILE I HAD LUNCH AND WATCHED.   tried talking to them once re a banner here, got nowhere.
I bet they would love us using thier videos. many are excellent.
Mostly DP we want to improve this site. posters like you, do just that!

by the way, i deleted nonsense posts today as well as banned 3 or 4 scoundrels that made them. At least it wasn't porn.
