It ain't easy being Green

And another one bites the dust -- from Anthony at Watts Up With That:
TV green dream hits the road
Oh what a relief! No more Living With Ed on Planet Green. I can take it off the �blocked� channel list now.

Cable�s Planet Green to change name, program focus � CBS News
NEW YORK � Planet Green is changing course.

Its corporate parent, Discovery Communications, announced Wednesday that the cable channel will change its emphasis on nature and ecology and focus instead on the country�s spirit and culture under the new name of Destination America.

�Destination America will tackle subjects including American cuisine � from Tex-Mex to barbeque � and American mysteries from Jesse James� lost fortune to Area 51. Other shows will visit amusement park thrill rides and Western ghost towns.
From the blurb about Living With Ed:
The show follows actor Ed Begley, Jr. in his quest to live his life with a small carbon footprint. The series records the conflicts between him and his less zealous wife Rachelle Carson who many times suffers due to her husband's uncompromising beliefs. One of the most frequent capers Begley engages in is making his home more environmentally friendly, which he competes with his best friend Bill Nye
Don't forget that Mr. Nye was involved in a bit of scientific shenanigans not too long ago. Main article with proof of photoshop here -- from Watts Up With That. Busted doing shoddy science. Shame on you Mr. Nye -- especially considering that your shows target the younger and more impressionable audience. Posted by DaveH at April 5, 2012 12:30 PM
