To cut into this reality TV show forum of HTF I was wondering what everyone's favorite documentaries/nature shows etc are?
I have always liked this one episode of "Nature" with George Page showing the mangrove forest of SE asia and all the animals living in the intertidal zone, the one with them fish the Mudskippers that can live on land too. Always fascinated me. Actually, the whole "Nature" series is great and I have missed not seeing it for some years.
World At War is another one although I have probably only seen a few shows. The old pictures and videos of WWII and the stories behind them interests me greatly.
I find that CBC here in Canada makes/airs some quality documentaries. The Passionate Eye sometimes have some great stories. W5 on CTV (I think) had a good story a few months ago about the Nigerian Scammers and was pure comedy at the end when the W5 crew came out and told the scammer in person he was on TV. He bolted down the street for dear life and had me laughing til I was blue.
My favorite though has to be Supersize Me. Just watched it last week for the first time and although not at all shocking just a real eye opener.
Anyhoo, any particular documentary/nature show etc that you can remember that you really enjoyed?
No 9/11 talk either, I don't want this thread to turn into a political discussion
