An Alternative to Tripe on TV - The Blue Planet

Posted by IsoM on August 26, 2002, at 18:28:20

Well, obviously I'm not like most people, it seems. I detest the show, Sex in the City that others were talking about, don't like Ally McBeal at all, or most sit-coms. I don't care if people think me boring & old-fashioned, or whatever. It's mostly tripe on TV & always has been - just more sophisticated tripe now.

If others wish to watch such shows, I have no problem with it but prefer my entertainment a little more cerebral. I love the classy camp of Nero Wolfe, good English mysteries/police dramas like Wycliffe & Ruth Rendall mysteries, think Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes was one of the best Holmes ever, & adore *good* documentaries.

For anyone else who loves documentaries, there's one showing now that is a joint production of BBC & Discovery Channel. It took 5 years to make & has film sequences of scenes & events never before seen. It's the Blue Planet series (8 one-hour parts) about our world's oceans. Breath-taking doesn't begin to describe it. Some sequences left me with misty eyes, it's so incredibly beautiful. I do wish I could swim underwater like seals can but view it with my own human eyes & mind. Who ever chooses to watch it will NOT be disappointed.
