Thanks! I thought I'd heard of every notable Westerner in this tradition but somehow I've missed Watts all this time.

Also, I know it's public television, but still it's wild to me that there was a time when people like this had their own TV shows.

In those days TV was in its infancy, with regard to being able to air programmes of universal interest, and as its main purpose was to inform and entertain, they were quick to allow people and programme makers to air their views... Now...? Oh much improved, I'm sure * sarcasm *....
