They couldn't turn the world today into a movie because the writing would be called too lazy and ham-fisted to be realistic.
"The Nazi analogies were so over the top, like we get it, they're bad people... It's insulting to the audience."

I'm telling you, this Earth show jumped the shark last decade.
No, the humanity show did. We'll be cancelled long before the Earth will.
Sure, the Earth channel has other shows but Humanity has become the main pull of the channel such that it's pretty much the Earth show. I've tried watching some of the other stuff Earth puts out but it hasn't held my attention like Humanity has, even if the last few seasons have been absolute dogwater.
It was those damn writer's strikes!

Cheers! Half of the time I understand jokes every time.

Mmmmm,.... rye wit.
