As I was lying down in the family room last night munching on delicious, Smooches all-natural, handmade dog cookies one of the kids flipped the tube to Discovery’s new, Planet Green channel. After watching a few shows and a couple of promos it appears the channel has chosen to use recognizable cable personalities as their on-camera talent rather than actual ‘green’ experts. Seems producers (probably more the marketing department) decided neophyte greenies need Emeril Legace (cut loose from the Food Network), Annabelle Gurwitch (from TBS’s “Dinner and a Movie”) and some guy from “This Old House” to assimilate the green lifestyle. Sponsors include the terrible looking new “Get Smart” and some pimple cream product for that vital younger demographic. Haven’t seen “Greensburg” which could be the real thing but I’m not feeling the ‘Treehugger’ vibe yet – maybe it will come.

I know I need something tasty wrapped around my heart worm pill to get it to go down, so maybe all this light green entertainment packaging is needed to get the new green channel off the ground…as for now may tail isn’t wagging.
