I grew up in Los Angeles and I miss it. KCET is hands down the best public television station. Their programming reminds me of how much I love and miss Southern California. Thank you.

As an artist who creates Desert landscapes, I love this video. KCET Rocks!

The desert is the place of my childhood. I grew up in south Iran of the mid 70ies. I remember vividly listening to American radio with my dad and driving along the oil pipelines. Chasing tornados listenning to Joan Baez, Nat King Cole and Stevie Wonder.

I lived in Southern Nevada 17 years and it quickly became my Home. Long story, but I had to leave, and it remains a desire, to be in that Desert. It's said, "We can't go back", so I envision Nevads as a forward, new, figferent from before, opportunity.

I used to camp in the desert in winter. You cannot believe how beautiful the night sky is without the light pollution of the city.

cool! I love the attention paid to the architecture of the California dessert and taking advantage of the lack of rain with nearly horizontal roof designs

I’m pretty sure there are lots of people throughout history including the native people who have always loved and appreciated the desert. And there are still huge numbers of people who think it’s an empty worthless wasteland.

The Mojave Desert in the 60s and 70s to me was so clean and ancient. It was a place of mystery. The desert needed no one and nothing.

The Salton Sea is super interesting yes but how could they not talk about the aerospace industry in Palmdale and Lancaster. Edwards Air Force Base? Plant 42? Come on. Love the series, I just think the incredible technology that was developed and tested out there was a little more important than some mid century modern homes and an accidental lake.

I agree. Birthplace of stealth aircraft and the space shuttle, as well as home of the largest poppy reserve in the USA to name a few facts. Plenty of material for an episode.

I cant see the desert as a fragile place. The place is dead gone and dust. Its hard to imagine even where the air comes from. Or life. Where are the trees lakes and river. Coming fromthe east coast its wierd but its what i am used to. From how i see it the desert could if possible could only be improved and never made worse.

Oh please, lets not go crazy here. 2 inches of rain a year, at best, and 118 plus degrees in the summer. It's an arid place of death if you're stupid. LOL. And skin cancer problems? Don't ask.
