Planet Green Network

I was a bit ill the other week and was at home flipping through the channels and I re-found a channel that I really enjoy. The Planet Green Network brought to you by your friends at the Discovery Channel. Check your local TV Channel subscriber for the actual channel number in your area, but here in Queens Time Warner Cable you can find it on channel number 114. As I mentioned I watched the channel in the early going but the shows were a bit stale and was a bit to much catered to the extreme tree hugger. However things have changed a lot. They have great entertaining and informative shows. Such as "Living with Ed", Ed Begley jr. and his family and their quest for a green life, a real fun show with true quirky reality. I like "Wa$ted" with Annbelle Gurwitch and some lame guy (Holter Graham). Gurwitch you might remember from "TBS Dinner and a Movie." In the show they get people to understand their wasteful ways and pays them to change. "Supper Club" with Tom Bergeron is a really cool combination of a cooking show and talk show. Tom has four guest and a chef over for dinner. The chef cooks with local products and the four guest eat and discuss recent green trends. Recent guests have been Aisha Tyler, Drew Lachey, Mariel Hemingway, Martin Mull, just to name a few. "Emeril Green" is a cooking show using products from Wholefoods Market. For the younger crowd, "Battleground Earth" Rocker Tommy Lee and Rapper Ludicris recruit help and go through Eco Challenges each week. "Renovation Nation" is an Eco version of "This Old House". There are a few other shows and I really mean "few". That has been the problem with this channel although they have great shows, they just don't have enough of them. They run new programing during prime time then repeat the shows again and again until the next night. So if you miss the new "Living with Ed" at 8pm, don't fret it's gonna repeat a couple of times that night and the next day. Usually about every three hours. So if you have an idea for a Green Show send it to Discovery Channel. To see a list of all their current shows click here.
