Ain’t No April Fools: The Green Season 2
“Prime Time For The Planet” is back! Tuesday nights at 9pm. Okay – so maybe being a TV junkie isn’t a “green” thing to do. Big Ideas for a Small Planet is such a great show, though! Last season on The Green started with Big Ideas and then went on to show the great series called It’s Not Easy Being Green (which Sundance has picked up the second season of from the BBC). They finished it off with a few episodes of the Sierra Club Chronicles.
So the evening always starts with one of their great shows and then has an interstitial show called “ECO BIZ” and “Ecoists.” That leads into great eco-documentaries. Tomorrow night will premiere “Garbage Warrior” which is an original Sundance doc. From the clip on Sundance, it looks like it follows an architect who builds “earth ships” in the desert – all from recycled materials. Tomorrow’s episode of Big Ideas for a Small Planet is all about alternative energies.
I’m kind of a TV whore, so I’m pysched to feed my problem with such well-done fantastic shows. I guess I’ll have to tape Bret Michaels Rock of Love II or whatever other crap is on. Thanks Sundance for making my week! It’s fanastic that the shows are starting on a day the Pittsburgh Penguins have an off day (oh yeah, I’m addicted to watching the Penguins, too).
If you want a complete list of documentaries and topics on Big Ideas – stop on over and check it.
Here’s a clip from season 1:
Big Ideas is the only show I miss from the cable/dish days. (My husband might argue in favor of baseball, so there’s a slight disagreement there).
Oh! But wait! I can buy them and watch them on my iPod for $1.99 each.
Sorry for being snarky, I just miss good TV. Not that I watch TV other than PBS or baseball games.
