Life (the series)

Pretty awesome footage, but wow, is it just me or is Oprah just goddamn awful! I wish I could watch the BBC version, David Attenborough FTW!

Sorry if there is a thread for this already, I couldn't find one.

Aye, awesome series, @ oprah narrating the american one , David Attenborough ftw

Joshua Stubbles

Attenborough would rock for sure. I thought Sigourney Weaver did a great job in the U.S version of Planet Earth, too. I wish they'd have kept her.

Oprah is just wrong for Life. Very wrong.

Thought you were talking about this series: http://www.hulu.com/life?c=Horror-and-Suspense And yes, Oprah is absolutely awful. Never seen the show you're talking about, but nothing Oprah touches can be any good.

I love this show though.

Errr... huh?,

I tried watching the show this evening, yah.. I cannot stand Oprah's voice, or her attempts at narrating.

Yes and yes. But the show is still great.

WTB BBC production of LIFE!

The commercials I saw looked amazing but...I'd have to mute it if Oprah's voice is present!

The thing about David narrating is that he knows his stuff, he's spent more time in jungles than most of us have been alive! What does Opera Know about zoology, at least Weaver had made Gorillas in the Mist! He's one of the best thing about the BBC, a real inspiration. The planet earth Blu-rays are amazing, as is this deal on Amazon for the Brits...

Its all the previous life documentaries in one box set, a running time of 60hours of Attenborough fun!

Silly americans, i got me some david!
For some reason the man always calms me down.

I love these kind of programs,
Shows us there is still some beauty outside our fuckn concrete and tarmac environment.

If you are into this show and all, you should also look at "Living planet" or give "microcosmos" a shot

Gonna check this out buuuut why would you have oprah speak in the american version? Can't understand british english?

Seems like a pretty useless thing to change to me.
