Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI just found out James Burke is still alive.
He's 87!
He was the narrator of the TV shows "Connections," and "The Day The Universe Changed." (Among others)
I really love those shows, (I have the DVD's,) and it's good to see he's still alive.

I assume you are talking about James Lee Burke.

I've watched the older shows and they absolutely stand the test of time.
