I was going to start my own thread about this - then remembered this is ATOT :p

I can't wait. The commercials just made it look sooo damn exciting.

It is going to be continued. A couple are in production at any one time, so the next set isn't going to show up for a while.

And yeah, Planet Earth is coming out on HDDVD and Blu-Ray, so that's where I'll watch it.

I would be excited if I had HDTV service, but Charter doesn't see the need for it here.

wow...simply amazing show.

too bad i couldn't have watched it in HD. I bet that was fvckin unbelievable.

that vampiro toothus squid thing in the last episode was awesome!

so was tonight the 1st time it was on or what? i'm gonna watch the next time its on for sure though!


edit: they have the whole series for sale at the discovery.com store! i think i might order it. $79.95 - doh, not out until april. guess that would make sense since they're just airing it now.

i wonder if they have a soundtrack too? the music was great as well.

Wow....simply wow. The images are amazing - I think they could do an entire episode showing how they got all their shots.

But seriously, on Sunday? For the love of God people, there's already Family Guy, American Dad, Rome, BSG on sunday and now this? My dvr can only take so much.....
