| Attenborough's Global Adventure |
Puppies! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, February 12!
Our top pick tonight is Attenborough's Global Adventure (BBC America, 8 p.m.), the latest nature import and following the travels of the renowned natural historian David Attenborough. Filmed over 7 years, the three-episode series aired across the pond over many months ago as three separate specials. I've read that pieces are simply unused footage from his other adventures. If you like Attenborough, he is hosting/narrating this Wednesday's Nature, too.
Elsewhere, Animal Planet loves puppies, Toonami goes back to a Titan Attack, Clint Eastwood has a Cry, Witches goes after the Book of Life, there's a bird in the Abyss, the Straw Hat gang goes on their first reunited adventure, and the Classroom seeks out the Reaper.
