Planet Earth

There's a new series on the Discovery Channel called Planet Earth. It should be some of the most dramatic nature footage you have ever seen, and it's in high definition. It was made by the same people that made the Blue Planet series, so I am expecting great things.

The first episode is this Sunday at 8pm ET/PT.

For more information see the Discovery Channel's Planet Earth page.
