wikipedia On February 3, 2008, Animal Planet "relaunched" itself under a new image that sheds "its soft and furry side for programming and an image with more bite." As part of the relaunch, Animal Planet replaced their elephant and spinning globe logo for a starker text image that allows more flexibility in its usage. Eight new series and specials are scheduled to air in February, with the new shows aimed at reaching a more adult audience with programming designed to tap into humans' basic instincts with stories that reiterate what makes humans human.
On a somewhat unrelated note, do you passionately despise television? biggrin
I am a firm believer that while most is supremely gawdawful, the medium itself harbors immense potential as a unique form of story telling.

yes i agree tv has immense potential, but like many things with potential it requires a discipline to keep it valuable. i guess what i mean is that, to use a common quote, "with great power come great responsibility". as with anything that can empower us it must be used properly. a person who uses tv to educate and stimute thought is very different tan one who uses it to indulge fantasy or escape reality, to fend off boredom. it is a fine line of balance and discipline. same goes for music and movies.
and to add i hate the new logo for animal planet. stressed

Same goes for everything, I think.
And to add to that, I do too!

I used to really enjoy Animal Planet, when the nature shows were equally balanced. For some reason, over the past few years, it has become this aweful plea of attention. Suddenly, there are "extreme" animal shows with "extreme" themes, because animals ROCK! No seriously, Bindi makes me never want to have children.
