1. No, it's not a good show.
"Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" is right-wing claptrap hosted by Ben Stein, noted right-wing claptrapper. And there is no such thing as "Scientific Intelligent Design"; that is just thinly veiled euphemism for biblical creation myths.

Here's what an actual science publication had to say


In the film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, narrator Ben Stein poses as a "rebel" willing to stand up to the scientific establishment in defense of freedom and honest, open discussion of controversial ideas like intelligent design (ID). But Expelled has some problems of its own with honest, open presentations of the facts about evolution, ID—and with its own agenda. Here are a few examples—add your own with a comment, and we may add it to another draft of this story.
