5.0 out of 5 stars Almost ashamed to watch it this many times, July 26, 2006

This is a spectacular series to see in hd, and the subject matter is often mind blowing. I would highly recommend this to anyone remotely interested in how we as a species came to be and/or in the really incredible history of this planet.

I've watched this series many times and it is still just as fascinating as the first time. The story is amazing, and even though I thought I knew a great deal about formation of the earth, this series adds enormously. This set is first on my list when I think of gifts in this price range.

5.0 out of 5 stars For all climate-change skeptics, February 13, 2009

I watched the entire series when it was on Cable. It brilliantly gives perspective on the history of planet Earth. It hammers home how the climate can change on a dime, making our paradise of a planet uninhabitable. Serious stuff. Should be recommended viewing for all climate-change skeptics. I particularly loved the voice of Christopher Plummer as narrator.
