Anybody else checking these out? I'm recording them partly because I just like these kinds of documentaries, and partly out of curiosity at how they are pulling off such a large-scope production. Some of the shots just int he previews are amazing. Makes me wish I had HD.

 

yep...I tivo'd the series.
Im into all the oceon stuff cuz I rock a 75 gal reef aqarium in my front room, but also animals hunting and killing is koo. "survival of the fittest"

they have some dope *** camera on the helicopter for some awsome shots.


oh I do have HD +1 for me!

 

i dont even have a TV where i sleep til friday. laaame

 

yea ive watched two of them so far. if you have comcast with on demand...theres like three of the episodes of there. i like them a lot so far. very good footage.

 

They're really well done. The 11 part series will be $80 from Discovery on DVD in late April; I'm picking it up for postereity because they really do have some amazing stuff in here. The DVD's are a great option if you tivo'd them on lower quality, or don't have HD tuners but have a good player, etc.

 

Damn it, I saw all the amazing advertisments, and I missed it... Is it still going on at all? I'll probably just end up picking up the DVD.

 

I have caught a couple of episodes. I have it set for series record on the DVR. I am very impressed. This was a huge undertaking. In HD, absolutely amazing.

 

I'll be watching these in HD next week

I caught the first part of the mini series sunday it was sweet

 

Is this the same "Planet Earth" that was on BBC?

 

I need a new TV.

 

i need teh LCD TV!

$399 for a 32" needs to happen NOW!
geeks.com FTW!

 

I'm not sure. It might be much of the same footage with new narration for teh 'murricans.

 

It could be untrue but someone told me that it took more than 6 years to collect al of the desired footage to make it. When it is on?

 

I can believe that. It's running on discovery all week, and will probably be re-running endlessly all summer.

 

Yeah, they said somethign like 6 or 9 in one of the advertisements for it on Discovery HD
