Oprah being the narrator is why I almost didn't record the series. I just care not to be labeled as an Oprah follower. And I'm not, I'm just bad enough to be able to appreciate the content - I care about the footage, not the voice.Originally Posted by Russ Lawson
Totally, same here Laura! I hear the words but try to ignore her sound (not one of our usual animal life narrators, not a natural fit) and ignorance (she said a few things that were not accurate, something to do with the komodos or something reptile related, I forget). I'm not blaming Oprah for the one or two things innacurate she said, she's just the naive narrator that I don't think knows a thing about animals beyond a pet dog or cat. And heck, since I can't recall what she said that was innacurate, that's totally just my opinion and could be wrong. But like Laura, it works well just watching the content and the voice "goes away"!I forgot it was Oprah talking after a while, since I was too engrossed in the footage...
And the slow motion is better than any other animal life episode that I've ever seen!!! Fabulous detail, superb!! I have an HD LCD, couldn't imagine how much more fabulous the blu-ray would look! Maybe I'll buy one of those things one day.I too absolutely love watching these shows, even if I've seen them a hundred times. I owen both Planet Earth and Blue Planet on Blu-ray and as soon as Life is out I'll own it too. I just love how indepth they get into the lives of these animals and the time and effort they put into it! And yes that pebble toad is awesome! hehe.
