This is one of my new favorite shows because I love learning about things I thought I knew, but didn't. It's even more amazing when the show covers things I've actually read about. A good example of this last statement is there was an episode talking about a supposed diary of former Nazi leader Adolf Hitler being found. It turned out that this was a forgery by a German forger, who thought he could fool people into thinking Adolf Hitler kept a diary. I read this story in a book I have about forensic science. It talks about different famous cases and this case was in that book for the topic of forgery. Authorities had even talked to Adolf Hitler's former personal secretary, who claims he never kept a diary. Another episode talks about a group of MIT students who learn all there is to know about counting cards and cheating the casino and almost getting away with it. This even inspired the film 21, which I've seen.
I didn't want to put each episode for every season; too many to list for each season.
