I'll go ahead and rent the BBC version

For some inexplicable reason the morons at Discovery had Oprah Winfrey narrate the Life series. BBC viewers got David Attenborough, who is famous for, among other things, his contributions to science. Sigourney Weaver did the previous series; that was bad but nto so bad that you couldn't watch the show. Oprah's narration is the kind of thing you would force someone to listen to as a punishment. They've probably got it on repeat down at Gitmo

For a sampling of Attenborough's awesome, I give you this:

Attenborough is sick beyond comprehension, its like comparing pele to players of his time, it simply can't be done.

Weaver did a fine job and Oprah is tired but it does not make the series unwatchable. Its over-hyped considering the fact that most people have seen 2/3 the stuff before. Its still pretty good.
