I have been waiting about six months to see this. Here's just a sample:
Planet Earth starts this coming Sunday, March 25 at 8 p.m. on Discovery (if you hadn't seen the huge ad at the top of the page).

I was slow to transition to Sb. Why? It was all the advertising that occurs on the pages (although much less than other sites). Those who have been around for the long haul and remember the old site may recall the noticable absence of advertising. The positives of the move to Sb far outweighed…
After a 10-month, 420-million-mile journey, NASA's Phoenix probe touched down on Mars' northern Arctic Circle at 4:53 p.m. Pacific Time Sunday, becoming the first to ever successfully reach a polar region of the Red Planet. And boy are the ScienceBloggers excited!
For the next three months, Phoenix…
The New York Times recently published sample top-scoring essays from the new written component of the SAT test in order to show the type of work that was likely to score highly. Several bloggers, as well as the Times itself, have noted that the writing isn't exactly compelling.
In fact, I've been…
Caption from NASA: "This artist's scoreboard displays a fictional game between Mars and Earth, with Mars in the lead. It refers to the success rate of sending missions to Mars, both as orbiters and landers. Of the previous 39 missions targeted for Mars from around the world, 15 have been successes…
It's a pity that we in the States won't be hearing David Attenborough's wonderful narration. The Discovery Channel has replaced him with Sigourney Weaver. Nothing against Ms. Weaver, but what a loss.
What's worse, there seems to be some question as to whether or not the Attenborough-narrated will be the one released in the States on DVD and Blu-ray. Let's hope it is.
Hey, welcome to your new home on the web! Looking forward to seeing your new banner! I noticed ads for Planet Earth too and wasn't sure what to expect (seems like the Discovery Channel has moved away from nature programs to monster truck specials). I checked out the program's web page and am now planning to watch it. There are even TWO whole episodes about caves! :-)
We just finished up the second part of Planet Earth here in Australia. It's as terrific and stunning as his programs always are, but watch out for the (I think) second last one on the oceans, there's some mind blowing imagery of the deep oceans in it.
oh you are gonna love this! We have seen a few already on the CBC, and it has become the only show in a long time that I MUST record! Too bad they ditched Attenborough on your side of the border, that is a definate loss... you will enjoy the incredible footage though.
They ditched Attenborough? What were they thinking? I suppose I shouldn't gloatingly mention that I have the DVDs for the entire (properly narrated) series right here...ooops.
