Is your new "Planet Earth" box set narrated by Segourney Weaver or Sir David Attenborough? Thankfully, mine is Attenborough. I think it's funny the BBC uses an actual famous naturalist, but the United States production needed to be "sexed up" with an actress. Not that it really matters I guess, but for some reason it bothers me. It would be like Morgan Freeman doing "Cosmos" on PBS instead of Carl Sagan.

I choose to hope that Segourney Weaver was chosen because they thought Americans would prefer an 'American' accent. But that's just my idle speculation.
..and at least Weaver is relevant because she's very active with conservationist causes.
But mine is Attenborough, too.
That's true. And she did play Diane Fossey (sp?) in "Gorillas in the Mist." At least they didn't ask Paris Hilton.
"This is, like, the planet earth, you know? And it's like, really big. It's so big it's like, huger than anything on it. But it's in danger. That's weird, right? Like, how can that happen?"
