animal planet

It would appear that the esteemed Animal Planet Channel is now taking on the "science" and "existence" of "marine primates" in their upcoming new series titled "Mermaids: Body Found" on Sunday evening at 9pm (EST). Yes.. webbed fingers, superior breath control. no body hair for streamlined...

I haven't been able to find a thread on this, so I'm starting my own. Last night I watched Animal Planet's "Jane Goodall's When Animals Talk". I was dreading it, for the promos seemed to indicate that it was going to involve more than a little woo-woo nonsense about telepathic animals. Sure...

Ok, it sounds great that they're showing "Dragons"... a scientific "what if" about dragons and how they may have actually lived... but how about a few minutes at the beginning letting people know... NONE OF THIS IS BASED ON REALITY?!?

Dragons, on Animal Planet. I though from the commercial it was going to be about creating dragons using genetics but seems to be about what their biology would be like if they had been real. Could be neat, but what's next? The biology of fairies, Chimaeras, pegasuses and griffins?:p
