I think going farther than that, they are going for owning the quality "nerdy" science-ish related content.

See "See" as a good example to add to that list. Silo was incredible and I started working on the books because of that show.

And the show that I was looking forward too every week "lessons in chemistry". Was so good and very charmingly nerdy.

Some others like Prehistoric Planet, Hello Tomorrow (which wasnt great, but it had a certain charm too it), and whatever that D&D show was I can't remember the name of.
