Animals In The Wild Television Viewing At Its Finest

Television entertainment can take many forms the joke-filled 30-minute sitcom exciting

dramas chronicling the adventures of policemen, lawyers and others reality programming pitting ordinary people in competition against one another quiz shows and so much more.

Some of TVs finest moments come from performances that dont involve trained actors. TV documentaries fascinate many people. News and information shows also serve to entertain those who thirst for knowledge.

Wacky programming that feature dysfunctional individuals with over-the-top problems help create an audience for people like Jerry Springer and Maury Povich. Their shows are far-out and, while the problems presented may be real, live audiences dont share in the pain shown by invited guests. They often squeal with laughter at them.

However, there is a TV format that is worthy of respect and the time it takes to watch an entire show unfold. This format, generally presented by National Geographic, follows the daily lives of animals in the wild. This is truly fascinating TV educational and very entertaining, absorbing and often exciting words from an encyclopedia that come thrillingly to life.

I, for one, believe that TV that educates often does a better job of entertaining than TV that intends only to entertain. In other words, trailing gorillas in the mist is far more entertaining than todays hottest half hour sitcom.

Others may disagree, but that is what I believe and feel. Education is intoxicating. Education you can see is almost irresistible. I love it and Im not alone. When you tune in to one of these shows and see close-up footage of lions in their natural habitat resting during the day, hunting in the night you wonder (at least I wonder) what the photographer had to endure to get the film footage. Surely, there was no 5-star hotel nearby.

Moreover, getting the footage had to be incredibly dangerous. Wild animals follow their instincts and that can turn a photographer who is not careful into prey. In fact, that happened several years ago to a naturalist who had dedicated his life to living part of each year in the habitat of grizzly bears.

His experiences lasted for thirteen years until a grizzly turned on him, attacked and killed him. Its a dangerous life, but it must be a satisfying life, as well. The film footage of bears lions wildebeest crocodiles and so many other forms of wildlife make TV interesting, entertaining, educational and incredibly compelling. I love it.
