Planet Green: Bill Nye reports for duty

When the green living channel goes live in June, it will be pulling out all the stops in order to establish itself as televised face of the green movement. In an announcement this week, Planet Green confirmed that it's programming will feature shows hosted by top-notch talents like the illustrious Bill Nye and a kitchen expert Emeril Lagasse. PG also announced that in November it will be showing the TV premiere of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth which, if nothing else, should score some pretty good ratings and brownie points for the young network.

Let's just hope that Bill Nye's show will be patterned after the classic Bill Nye the Science Guy. If he could show us simple household ways to do green experiments, crack some corny jokes, and then wrap up with a clever song parody reviewing what we've learned, I think they've got a hit show. Noticeably absent from PG's lineup is Professor Beakman of Beakman's World -- you've got to respect the originator.
