I am such a huge fan of Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Blue Pacific and so many of the Discovery Channel's mini-series. However, Oprah's narration of Life is just awful. It is so dumbed down---I felt like my granny was talking to me--when I was 4. Its just too put on, too preschool teacher-esque. I loved the video and pictures--they are absolutely incredible, as would be expected, but I cannot figure out why the Discovery Channel would seek out a pop celeb to narrate this great show. Why change it from the original? I am so tired of Hollywood permeating every facet of media. Just b/c you're good at one thing does not make you stellar at it all. I'm buying the BBC version.
