Amazing Race All Stars

April 17th, 2007 | By Lee | 2 Comments »

The Amazing Race is the only show on TV that I regularly watch other than the Sopranos. I love to watch to see where the teams go and obviously it is fun to pick your favorite team and watch them interract with the other teams as they compete. This season it’s the all-stars which bring back teams from previous seasons. You would think that they would’ve brought back some pretty interesting and exciting teams but in my opinion they are all pretty boring or just plain annoying.

I have an obvious interest in this show and have seen a few episodes of the show that is loosely based upon the places mentioned in the book. Last night I found it very interesting because they were in Brazil and loosely followed a path that I took on my recent trip through Brazil. They started out in Manaus in the Amazon and went down to Rio, etc.

Planet Earth Mini Series

I don’t know how many of you guys have been watching this show, Planet Earth, on the Discovery Channel but it is awesome. I am kind of hooked on it. It is really amazing photography and videography. They capture things on film that have never been captured before like the hunt of the snow leopard in the Himalayas. They do so with amazing technology and cameras. To be honest I don’t even know when it’s on because I just DVR it and watch it when I can but it is totally worth the time to check out.

For instance, last night I watched an episode in the mini series about grass. Yes grass. The entire show was about how grass and water basically are the lifelines for nature throughout the world. They really do travel the globe to bring you examples of different types of species in different types of climates. The types of animals you see are breathtaking. I have never heard of a lot of the animals they feature let alone seen them.
