The Next Generations is not as good as the original Roots, but it is a fast way to learn a little history. It saves time from reading books, but it is only one interpretation of the events. The price was right for 4 discs.
I cannot look at this DVD until I return to FL in Dec because that is where my Blue Ray player is, but I like nature programs. This looks interesting and was a good price at Best Buy.
This visually stunning release goes underneath the waves to take a long, peaceful look at the picturesque Great Barrier Reef, the largest living structure on the planet containing over 3000 individual lifeform systems, and often populated by some of the most beautiful and unique animal life on earth.
The video has three separate programs showing life on the reef, deeper water around the reef, and land behind the reef. It is especially interesting to people who snorkel or SCUBA.
This documentary from the BBC takes an in-depth look at the world's smaller animals and the defense mechanisms they employ to improve their chances of living despite the many dangers they face in the wild. Among the animals profiled are chipmunks, beetles, marmosets, and elephant shrews.
There were three separate programs. In one they compared the lives of a rodent in the US dessert southwest with one in Africa. They showed a dung beetle at work in another. In added video they showed how they managed to catch the quick scampering of the African rodent.

I delayed until now to get a digital TV because my old analog TV still works (with a converter box). I got the new TV to play Blue-Ray DVDs with the DVD player I bought last year. The TV was easy to mount on its base and set up. I did not need to buy a wall mount. The picture is more clear than I dreamed possible. I do not pay for cable or subscription services but get 20 local TV stations clearly. This is by far the best TV reception I have had. The Blue-Rays look good too.
