But there are a lot of other shows on Dicovery and NG I like to watch. Apart from news and sports, it's basically the only interesting thing on TV to me.

step 1. put on an episode of how it's made

That's maybe the best idea I've heard since someone told me about the show "How It's Made."

it's hard NOT to have a crush on him. that show is borderline inappropriate... they're always showing him stripping down to his skivvies and flexing his bear muscles and rubbing mud all over himself.

I love that show, me and a co-worker were discussing wether we should take the job this month for a week or so as a one time deal. For the once in a lifetime experience and the big pay off. I've heard that the chances of dying are very high and that's whats holding us back at the moment.

I once did that with some "Discovering Psychology" videos, but I was listening to drum'n'bass.

Trippy

I join your nerd club in congratulating the makers of 'how it's made' and the maker of planet earth

I was kinda dissapointed to find out that some of the footage on Planet Earth were from stock or CG.
Still the best piece of television I've seen in a while.

How much and what shots?

I have a really hard time believing there is all that much of that in there.

I like the planet earth series alot but I dunno why everyone says its so groundbreaking. I've been watching shows just like it on Discovery for years, its more like a nice compilation of footage.

And what really pisses me off is when they talked about polar bears there was virtually no mention that most of their habitat is going to melt because of climate change.

In the U.S. version there was literally TONS of talk about their habitat being destroyed - it was almost all they talked about.

They barely mention it in the BBC version - the Discovery version was WAY more political.

And as far as why people think it's groundbreaking - at least once in almost every episode an animal or phenomenon that has never once been caught on film is shown. Not to mention the quality of the film has pretty much never before been seen in a nature documentary.

That's pretty damn groundbreaking to me.

Why don't you just get Rob a polar bear suit.

I guess I just remember those Discovery shows differently. Also, I watched a ripped version which was lesser quality. I loved the birds from Papa New Guinea.


I dunno if I watched the BBC version or the US version, but I dont remember it being political. It was anoying me to say the least. I kept pointing it out till everyone in the room was like "Clovis, STFU"

I had no idea that this Planet Earth documentary existed, so thanks for the heads up. I will have to pick this up on DVD just as soon as I can. This is what happens when you have: no satellite or cable and only one local channel.

The version that aired on the Discovery Channel with Sigourney Weaver narrating was the one with loads of political stuff. At times it could almost be irritating and overkill.

The version from the BBC with David Attenborough has far less of that, but it's far, far more enjoyable to watch. Like light years better.

Ok, I'm pretty sure I watched the BBC version.

And I think theres no such thing as over-kill when we're talking about average americans

i've seriously considered it, but it's hard to save up enough cash for a manatee suit and a polar bear suit.
