Family Viewing Suggestion – “Human Planet”

“There’s so little good to watch these days.”  “Everything on TV is garbage.”

Common sentiments, but not ones I find convincing.  In fact, I would say there is a lot more worth watching these days then when I was growing up.  There is, however, a lot of inappropriate advertising even in the midst of worthwhile programming (the ad for Mike & Molly that appeared during football the other night was not appropriate for a younger family audience), and a lot of programming is garbage (do I really need to list examples?).

[Warning – lack of clear segue.]

I had a great Christmas this year, largely because I was able to surprise those I love with special gifts.  I was also surprised by some of my gifts - great music from my kids and a wonderful Blu-ray series that my nephew purchased.

If you enjoyed the splendor of Planet Earth, then you’ll love Human Planet (click on the links to view the items on Amazon).  The content isn’t rated – I would say some of what we’ve seen would garner a PG (perhaps even PG-13) for subject matter.  It is a reminder both of how amazing people are and how thankful I am to live where I do.

So if you have teens or are willing to watch selectively, I would recommend Human Planet highly.
