heh..Michio Kaku was my astronomy professor (City College of New York). Very nice guy and tries to make the subject as fun and enjoyable as possible. Always cracks jokes (he tries anyways ) as well. He didn't really do any string theory stuff (he quickly mentions it) as he saves that for his advanced courses.

PBS Rocks!

String theory is occassionally beautiful, but I'm not sure if it's science as there's no experimental support for the idea. Peter Woit of Columbia wrote an interesting article "Is String Theory Even Wrong?" for American Scientist.
