Wow! Is anybody else watching this special? It's an 11 part documetary with the firts three parts airing tonight and two parts each of the next four weeks. The most amazing nature and wildlife footage I've ever seen. If you haven't been watching tonight, check the Discovery Channel website for reairings.

Yes. We are watching it right now. It is incredible. Can't wait for the remainding episodes.

That series is really great. It does contain some of the best nature photography ever. I may get it on dvd when it's available.

All I can say is, Wo-o-o-o-o-ow!

Watched it last nite..........far more and robust than advertised. A refreshing view of our astonishing planet. See it, see it!

I was amazed the whole time. Totally fascinating content. I don't have an HD TV so I thought I was going to miss out, but the visuals were stunning even on my set.

I hope they never do a marathon of these things because it would very hard to leave the room.

As much as I love this series, there are some parts I just can't watch. The photography is amazing. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. But I wish they didn't film animals killing and eating each other so well. Slow motion shots of the ripping flesh and the agony of the prey. I know, thats life in the animal kingdom. But it still bothers me. I wonder if they'll come out with a 'G' rated version on DVD. More for younger children who need to learn about this planet without all the killing.
I'll keep watching the series. To great to pass up. But with my finger on the 'last channel' button on my remote.
On a side note: Bravo to the Discovery Channel for showing programs like this. Back to their roots. And not that stupid motorcycle series. I do like Mythbusters though.

While you may find all that stuff off-putting, I find it fascinating. It's all part of nature. Kids don't need to be sheilded from this. I wouldn't allow a small child to watch, but 6 or 7 tears old I think is plenty old enough IMO. This show is one of the most amazing accomplishments in nature documentary I've ever seen.

The only thing I don't like is Sigourney Weaver's narration.

It's funny, I saw March of the Penguins for the first time just a few days before this show debuted. The penguin stuff from Planet Earth told me all the fascinating stuff in far less time.

Yes, animals eating each other is part of nature but why do we humans have to see it though. I watch alot of Learning Channel, Animal Planet, Discovery and PBS. I don't like to see the lions and other carnivores eating the other animals. Its part of nature but I could do without seeing it.

I really LIKE Sigourney Weaver's narration. She throws just a micro-ounce of humor into it too. "It truly is.............an alien planet".

Sunday nite? Did anyone see the pride of lions attack and kill the lone elephant in the dark? Fascinating.

This is the best in class............
