Planet Earth, which debuted in early 2007, is simply the best nature/wildlife series ever made. Following the similarly monumental achievement of The Blue Planet: Seas of Life, this astounding 11-part BBC series is brilliantly narrated by Sir David Attenborough and logically organised so that each 50-minute episode covers a specific geographical region and/or wildlife habitat (mountains, caves, deserts, shallow seas, seasonal forests, etc.) until the entire planet has been magnificently represented by the most incredible sights and sounds you’ll ever experience from the comforts of home.
“Planet Earth” circles the globe, discovering where the sun constantly shines and where it is rarely seen. They then determine where water is plentiful and limited.

The Sopranos changed television as we know it during its six-season run, giving it the label of one of the greatest shows of all time.
After experiencing a panic episode, Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) cautiously walks into the office of his new psychiatrist, Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco), in January 1999. The pilot set the tone for what was to come: numerous clashes between Tony and Dr. Melfi, incredible patience from Tony’s wife, Carmela Soprano (Edie Falco), and children, Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) and A.J. (Robert Iler), and possibly more mafia-related bullets and bloodshed than television had ever seen before.
