1. Planet Earth and Trauma: Life in the ER

are two of the most bomb shows ever made.

[pokerfan]

2. Unfortunately

I don't get Discovery Health, just Discovery which means that I get to watch crab fishermen.

[Tripper11]

3. Original Land of the Lost...can't go wrong

Tivo working it's magic!!!!

[Deja Q]

4. The original was a fun kids' show with a nice moral piece at the end...

Those were the days.

[Left Is Write]

9. Marshall, Will and Holly. on a routine expedition...

[AllenVanAllen]

15. It's great to see the "tail-draggers" again!

How much we have learned about dinos since then!

[JustJeking]

5. Ugh - I watched two hours of Jon & Kate Plus 8

and now I feel as if I've been lobotomized.

[fizzgig]

[Archae]

[rcrush]

10. WHat the hell is going on when NOT ONE origonal Law and Order marathon is on!?!

[charlie and algernon]

11. i love Planet Earth

You need to rent the DVDs with David Attenborough narrating instead of Sigourney Weaver. Everytime they show the episode with the birds doing the mating dances, my cat is entranced, lol.

12. We watched the whole Band of Brothers series...

Would really like to hug those guys. :hug:

[pokerfan]

13. I have the box set

It's worth a rental because they seldom air the bonus features including the 80 minute documentary 'We Stand Alone Together: The Men of Easy Company' featuring interviews with the real men of Easy Company.

Some good information here: http://www.101airborneww2.com/bandofbrothers.html

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. That's what we've got...

I couldn't stand to watch it if it was interrupted by commercials.

[pokerfan]

16. Oh, I thought you were talking about the marathon on the History Channel

My mistake.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. Commercials keep me away from History Channel...

...and a lot of other channels as well. The stations use so much time for ads that I become distracted, and simply stop watching. Then I miss the show when it begins again. Their commercial blitz also makes it difficult for me to retain info from the show...particularly if it's a documentary.

[UTUSN]

18. "The Golden Girls" got me through the day. n/t

[bigwillq]

19. I watched Planet Earth!

:bounce:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. I know, what a waste of time.

On a totally unrelated note, how badass is that Captain Sig and the crew of the Northwestern? Hell yeah!
