[sycamore no more]

This show is the real deal when it comes to animals. Shot in HD(high definition) this show contains shots of the most hard to shoot / rarest animals to get on film.

It's on every Sunday at 8pm on Discovery Channel.

Watch it kids, this is the best animal show hands down.

Missed it this weekend unfortunately. Really wanted to watch it.

[TPR950H]

I was tempted to buy the series after watching the preview during a movie.. 80 bucks! I don't have cable..

Seriously Jerm, don't rub it in our faces. Fucking Wet Coast and your crazy backwards time

[mlproject]

i watched two episodes of it. it was seriously crazy. some of it looks so wild that it was hard for me to think it wasn't CGI.

[Guest DUM]

Watched some of it, that bird is crazy. And the shark jumped waayy out of the water..never seen that before.

[Icicle Cubicle]

im ALL about this series. caught the tail end last night, but what i saw blew me away. trumps Blue Planet by far. seriously ILL sequences, animals, resolution, the works. a lot of animals in the supertrash "weird animals" thread make cameo's as well. best part is, its an 11 part series! also, if you get a chance to catch Exhibition Borneo on DSC, its also the business. peace.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

I wish I could watch this, but no, I have to settle for Nature on PBS, which is good, but this sounds better.

[doctorgnar]

Fuck yeah. What do you know about the Vampire Squid from Hell? This show is the pinnacle of nature programming. The Snow Leopard? Forget it.

I feel like I missed out, though, not having HD TV.

Either way this shit is riveting.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

riveting.

Is an excellent word.

So, deserts and frozen lands were no “Ocean Deep,†but Planet Earth once again comes through with uncompromising beauty and a truly moving depiction of animal life, all with Sigourney Weaver’s seductive narration.

Highlights include:

female penguins fighting to mother orphan chicks, driven by the parenting instinct they topple one another and eventual crush the cute, fluffy chick dead,

Walrus vs. Polar Bear, “clash of the artic titansâ€, Walrus comes through with an upset win, Polar Bear drowns in one of PE’s bleakest moments,

and in the desert, Flat Lizards leap to catch black flies mid-air in slow motion, they contort their bodies to reveal a colorful belly, which my girlfriend notes she'd like to have a bag made from.

Next week we’ve got plains and shallow seas, and once again I will be immersed in the television with a pack of Marbs and a 40 of Ole E.

That shit was insane...i love the birds eye view zoom-ins where it goes from outer space to in the herd...so dope. Was loving the nautilus last night

I just saw a lil clip of the Snow Leopard on the Discovery Channel website . Oh my Christ! That is a thing of beauty...

I want to get the DVD set for Wifey, but her birthday is in two days, and the shit doesn't drop till April 30th!!!!

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!!!

MUST HAVE PLANET EARTH!

[doctorgnar]

Dude, they've got those snow leopards at the Bronx Zoo and they are for real. It's free on Wednesdays, I highly recommend checking it out before the summer tourist season.

I just found out that Oprah said Planet Earth is the best thing she's ever seen on TV.

[backinthetrees]

glad to know that im not alone, watching the discovery channel

[HeavyBear]

Sigourney Weaver narrating huh? Interesting.

When it first aired on the BBC we had the venerable Sir David Attenborough.

We had a party over Christmas and projected the dvd on a wall behind the DJs, looked amazing.

I'd rather see a "pretend" Snow leopard in its natural environment licking its cub and killing those (almost as amazing) mountain goat-like creatures, than a "for real" one in some deppressingly small cage surrounded by idiots with camera phones....

The former has me brimming over with joy, the latter......

makes me want to kill.

(good looks on the info though)

I don't know shit about zoology or how those animals are treated, but it sure as fuck can be captivating to go there and watch. I used to live on 187th in the BX just a couple blocks from the Zoo, so I'd take walks through on Wednesdays when it was free. It really isn't so depressing, especially not with a coco "Catch the Flava" icy.

Tourists, on the other hand, catch bows in the ribs and loogies on their loafers.

Yeah, I'm a little confused. They are the same series with different narrators, right? I think I'd rather have the BBC ver. w/ D. Attenborough. I'm used to his voice on nature shows.

[Chicken]

there are some of the same footages from the likes of blue planet with d. attenborough, but they are cut differently. and the new footage is really the bomb.

and i have to admit, i'm also into the deadliest catch, also on the discovery channel.
