For people that don't know, Life is a 2009 documentary series by BBC. It is amazing, should be watched by everyone (in 1080p if possible).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_%28BBC_TV_series%29

Anyway, Discovery decides to make it more "US friendly" from the original British version, narrated by David Attenborough, a renowned nature documentary presenter and narrator, and replaces him with OPRAH fucking WINFREY! Laughing Laughing Laughing

Here is the result.
Compare:

To:


"The eating's good here yo!" lol wut "Game is rigged yo!" lol wut "Beat the rap but most get death penalty yo!" lol wut



Before that, with Planet Earth, they replaced Attenborough with Sigorney Weaver. Laughing
Have I mentioned already how pathetic Discovery and History and National Geographic and all other variations are? Wink

@ixigia You can download bluray rips of Life. It is really worth it. Wink Plant Earth is also great, but this is really a lot more informative and interesting.

And who said the contrary? Confused

Of course I can download everything nowadays, it's just that I find difficult to set a compromise between the things that I'm interested in and my slow connection. I mentioned the satellite antenna just because it would be much easier for me to watch these shows on TV instead of starting to download any bluray rip available on the net.

One can also mention UK The Office vs US The Office in the same light. One is intelligent humor, the other vulgar, stupid, lowest common denominator "humor".

American "Red Dwarf" was fantastically bad, so was the American version of "Cracker"

In the first case you have to wait for the TV show to start at a particular hour of the day leaving you to wait for the next episode if it had your attention invested of course, while in the other one you could download the whole series in a bluray format for a day, assuming you really have that slow of a net connection. Then you can watch every series in a row without having to wait for the next episode till the next day (or a week in some cases). Plus, it's bluray which is far better off than the standard TV format.

It was killed off immediately as an abomination when the pilot was shown. The pilot is available somewhere on the i-nets. And DAMN it was an abomination. I want to do a brainscrub to delete the memories forever.

Yeah I never understand why they do this. David Attenborough was born to narrate documentaries.

Amazing show though. Smile

As I said above. Only one episode. And Richard Ayoade was playing Moss also in US version. Rest of the cast was different.

OMG and their boss is of course black Razz


I'm gonna check out the pilot, grabbing it now so I can see for myself what they've tried to do with this. Confused

Yeah, just watched it and I was disappointed. I'm glad they didn't make a US version of it. Very Happy
