Dave,

Must be different programming in your neck of the woods because I cant find most of these on my ReplayTV Guide.

Jeff

 

[RugbyDave]

dave

 

[Jeff_C]

hey anyone that gets these caught on tape...neway i can send tapes with return postage and get a copy? i work all day and go to school all night and am asleep the rest of the time so TV pretty much is non existent (even though i pay 60 a month for digital ) we can talk about charges privatly

[RugbyDave]

4 emoticons in one post? thats almost hitting Terri's (MizM's) record

and as for the show on animal planet, i'm interested to see what their top 10 list is..

its funny, since whenever i watch shows about "the most venomous creatures ever", or whatever, there's no consistancy.. then i realised its due to semantics..

some people consider fatality numbers, other people consider frequency of bites/stings...

i wonder what Animal Planet is using as their measuring device?

peace
dave

 

[MizM]

Awwww, c'mon Dave, I thouth NO ONE could beat my record!

Time to add 3 more to this:

Thursday, July 3
3pm Minnesota Time (CST)
Ultimate Guide to the Awesome
Discovery Kids (i know, i know, but still )
"spiders and tarantulas are analyzed using computer animation to highlight physiology and location footage to observe behavior, including hunting techniques. Featured: species lethal to humans, anatomy, physiology and mating behaviours of some of the most graceful creatures on this planet"

should be cool.

Saturday, July 5
1am Minnesota Time (CST)
Crocodile Hunter: Dangerous Africa
Animal Planet
"steve finds spiders, tarantulas, scorpions, centipedes, snakes and, of course, crocs"

and the BEST OF THE BEST (theoretically):

Monday, July 7
1:15pm Minnesota Time (CST)
Microcosmos: Invertebrates
Sundance (should be especially cool!)
"in this 80 minute documentary chronicling the world of invertebrates, special cameras and lenses capture creatures of the French countryside, including ants, spiders, tarantulas, centipedes and beetles. Narrated by Kristen Scott Thomas. Directed by Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou"

i know i'm going to get one nasty look from a member here, but come on: Kristen Scott Thomas AND inverts??!!!! Oh man!!! =D (by the way, that's NOT a type for 'microcosms')

enjoy it guys!
Can someone tape the SUNDANCE show for me? I'll be up at the lake that week!

*whew*

hey, maybe someone can send me a tape chock full of the T shows for me doing my T's-on-TV-research for ya'll

later,
dave

 

[D-Man]

Dave-

You stunk on the Extreme: venom - NO SPIDERS!!! I missed the NGEO show yesterday - how was it??

Dario

 

[RugbyDave]

Whoa, i stunk huh? Go find your own damn T shows on TV then

consequently, i only take what directTV/TVGuide says, so i can't be held responsible

so there were no spiders at all? Hmm, go figure.

The Ngeo show was really really cool. It should be on again soon.


on a slight tangent, all these new shows are getting really down and dirty with the Ts and spiders.. and finally they're getting some really good info.. some really good REAL info!

pce

[Mendi]

Here's a new movie called "Webs" on the SCIFI CH tomorrow evening at 9pm est

"Electrical workers discover an underground portal leading to a parallel world where spider people rule Chicago" copied from Yahoo TV

Who knows, it could be a funny one like 8 legged freaks =D

 

[RugbyDave]

anyone taping these shows?!

peace
dave

 

[LPacker79]

I watched "Webs" saturday night. Pretty decent. A little "out there" though.
It's on again July 10th.

 

[RugbyDave]

Also, there's some other Croc Hunter shows on D-Kids that have to do with Inverts and Tarantulas...

i'll get the info soon.

peace
