What kind of humanities class was your wife taking?
Watching tv is kinda like drinking too much, it's fantastic while you're doing it, but personally I usually regret it later.
I've never seen duck d either, however from what I understand it's a bunch of people with more educational credentials than an MSNBC panel discussion convincing the audience they're just a bunch of dumb rednecks as they laugh all the way to the bank.
Frankly, I would rather watch something about particle physics... as long as it doesn't feature micheo kaku or niel degrasse tyson. One of these days, I will tear both of them apart in a cage match, which brings me to my gripe...
I get that quantum physics isn't for everyone, but if you're nominally a scientist (frankly, I consider that debatable for many celebrity-scientists) and you take a rather complex concept, and dumb it down repeatedly until it is some trite phrase that was the plot from a 1960's era sci-fi serial episode, it has lost all meaning.
Also, whoever named the Higgs Boson the "god particle" that guy is getting a rusty screwdriver right in both kidneys.

In principle, however, the pilot-wave theory is deterministic: The future evolves dynamically from the past, so that, if the exact state of all the particles in the universe were known at a given instant, their states at all future times could be calculated.
And if the universe is the result of a big bang involving one singularity, and it is finite, eventually collapsing upon itself once again, then time is a continuous loop, repeating itself forever. See you again in the next loop, folks.
