Thank goodness!

Oprah has signified Planet Earth as a landmark TV series! Thank goodness Discovery Channel has her approval! I'll bet they couldn't have done it without her.

"I've been in television all of my life, and I have never seen anything this good on television—ever," she says. "I just run out of words trying to describe it. I'm absolutely in love with this series and in love with our planet Earth. And that's what will happen to you and your family when you start watching it."

I would like to mention that, in case you haven't noticed, The Nature Conservancy has PSA's running during the program. We're the "conservation behind the documentary". My favorite part so far are the elaborate Birds of Paradise in the episode "Pole to Pole". I hope one day I'll be able to see some of them in the wild. Their mating dances are unreal, and the way they contort their feathers unbelievable.
