MUST SEE TV: Escape to Chimp Eden

[flvegan]

Animal Planet

On February 8, the network debuts Escape to Chimp Eden at 9:30pm ET (it will then air at 9pm ET on subsequent Fridays, swinging in to OI’s time slot). This series follows chimpanzee rescuer Eugene Cussons as he leads liberation missions and brings chimps in need to safety at the Jane Goodall Institute’s Chimp Eden in South Africa. Sort of a halfway house for chimps.

Okay, I just saw the "trailer" for this. Cussons boltcuttering chains and cutting cages. Looks awesome! Might be a nice message to those that still go to the circus and other primate "displays", too.

1. Sounds cool, but no TV.

I don't suppose I could sweet-talk anybody into saving me copies of this one or the thing about best friends?

:bats eyelashes prettily:

2. See, now if I got that new rig with the AMD Phenom chip

I could rip it right to disc and mail it to you. And here you are talking me out of it.

3. A standalone DVD burner is $100.

Why spend so much more to get a computer that does the same thing?

4. I wonder if Dogtown will be done airing by then?

Or if I'll have to watch one and record the other?

Thanks for pointing out this wonderful programming.
