Sorry people :( , it looks like this is airing on the American Discovery channel tonight only... If you have American like me it also starts at 4pm and then repeats at 8pm, and the first part is playing now I checked the listings. Keep an eye out, it will probably be played next month on are apparently $hity Can. Discovery channel...HE He he

Actually I enjoy our Canadian Discovery far better than anytime I find myself in the States and watching U.S. Discovery Channel. I think ours is a far superior product. Of course I'm biased; plus, I grew up listening to Jay Ingram on Quirks&Quarks on CBC.

Oh well, OUR channel will show Blue Planet again, sooner or later ... maybe send 'em an email and ask for it and that will help speed things along :D

Delphinus I was JUST KIDDING, I love our Discovery channel [img]tongue.gif[/img] , I was just refering to them not playing Blue Planet tonite :(

Oh yeah and by the way Delphinus, the channels air almost the exact same shows if not exactly the same the just air them at different times, I know because I've had both the American and Canadian channels for over a year :D

Glad to hear it Trig ;) As for the programming being very similar, I know ... I can't put my finger on it but I just find the Canadian channel to be a bit more .... well, Canadian. (And I mean that in a good way!)

I think, though, that maybe a part of why I like ours better is that the U.S. has had Animal Planet longer than we have had it; and more of the shows that are more my cup of tea are on Animal Planet down there instead; whereas they are still on Discovery up here. Now that we have Animal Planet though, I don't know if the same will happen up here. I think I pay my cable company too much as it is, I'm not ready to make that leap to digital cable just yet. Dang, why does everything cost more and more and more these days? No fair!!!

PS. I WAS serious with my suggestion that we email Discovery.ca and ask them to air Blue Planet again. Why not? It can't hurt -- and maybe they'll listen! :D
