For those who loved 'Planet Earth'
 

Mods, feel free to move to Media Center after a bit, but I posted it here for initial traffic purposes.

Starting tonight is a 10 part series titled 'Life.' Word is, it has all the visual brilliance of 'Planet Earth.' For those allergic to Oprah Winfrey narration and 'go green' pronouncements of coming Armageddon, watch with the sound off. But watch.

8p EST, Discover and Discover HD.

Oprah is the main reason I have no interest in this. I do like your point of turning the volume down. heh

I don't get the channel to watch it and refuse to pay for it on BD when it comes out because of everything you just stated though.

The review I heard said that the visuals were, once again, stunning.

However, the narration was redone for American release, and while the "Planet Earth" series was engaging and informative , the "Life" series is a bit preachy and condescending...and that while Oprah may be a media titan, that doesn't necessarily mean she brings much to the narration.

The recommendation was to wait for disc release and get the original narration version (I can't remember the name of the English narrator)

Love these shows. Can't complain about Oprah. The DVR will be set after midnight. The Pacific and Breaking Bad will take up my DVR time tonight.

Sounds good, Mr. Baby Lee. The trailer things look really interesting.

Tonight they're going to show the mating rituals of the stalk-eyed fly.

Looks amazing.

And I don't care who narrator is. Narrators are like subtitles, if the show's good enough, you forget about them.

Why is it they feel we need an American narrator anyway?

DVR set up, just wish It'd record in 1080

I can't wait for some hot stalk-eyed fly action.

Sir Richard 'I'ma gonna open a dinosaur park' Attenborough.

I thought it was David Attenborough.

correct.

You might be right on second thought. L'il bro.

I agree. I hear the words but not the person. I also don't really care about the politics of celebrities, so that won't bother me either.

Va-va-voom!
