Planet Earth

[Chris]

This is a 12 (i think) part series basically about animals and the remote environments they inhabit around the world. Each part premieres every Sunday night, with, I think, the final part premiering next Sunday. Anyway, does anyone watch it? I watched a few parts and they are an excellent set of documentaries. The sceneries filmed are just stunning.

There was a marathon of it today. (Makes sense considering it was Earth Day.) I am guessing the two episodes tonight were the last new ones. Next Sunday is simply a behind the scenes part. I loved every minutes of the series. :crube:

i really wanted to watch it. i REALLY wanted to watch it, especially on my bro's HDTV. but he said he doesn't have an HD receiver or some shit and will probably buy the things on HD DVD, so when he does i'll watch them in full high def splendor

I knew about them every week, but kept on forgeting to watch, and only ended up seeing a few. I really wanted to see all of them all too, but ah i just turned on the tv an hour ago, but they'll probably be another marathon next week...

I'm in the middle of the first episode right now, and so far I'm impressed. The birds of paradise are the most wonderfully entertaining birds I've ever seen.

when I was a kid I only got 3 channels:

CBS

NBC

and PBS

I grew up on nature shows like this, brings back memories.

Now I have over 100 channels and only things I watch are Cartoon Network and Discovery Channel

i've seen the first 3 (i downloaded them) and yeah, they're amazing although i would much rather be watching them in HD :/

[PMA]

Ya, I totally watched a huge portion of the marathon on Sunday (and DVR/Tivoed the others). The filming is freakin fantabulous, and the snow leopard cub was so fuckin metal it HURT

But ya, I'm bored right now so I'm thinking about watching the desert one.

If anyone is wondering, the original version of Planet Earth (Sir David Attenborough narrated it.) is out in a DVD boxset already. I'd pick that mostly because it is in one boxset already and it doesn't have Sigourney Weaver.

[stranger]

is it the same footage?

[Crube]

is it the same footage?

Has the episodes, little ten minute extras per each showing, and the 90 minute featurette Planet Earth: The Future. It has more than the series itself. I am actually interested in the Planet Earth soundtrack too.
