Friends: 7 |  Planet Green on cable? YUK! I saw cautiously optimistic when I was surfing the cable box and found this channel. It turns out it pissed me off! These guys have a show about "green cars". anyway they take an H2 Hummer and a Caddillac Esplanade and put a desiel engine in the caddie to burn vegitable oil in. Already I'm not liking the show. Then they drag race the two to see NOT which one gets better mpg or is greener, but the want to see which has more power and is fastest!! One of the quotes is " I dont care about mpg I want power!" as he is adjusting the computer with one of those chip programmers.  This show has nothing to do with Green! Then I watch a commeercial on the channel about another show where a mom is trying to show her family about living a green life. So how do they do it? Road trip in an Expedition!!  I wonder if this is a wasted channel or if most people just dont get it?!

Friends: 8 | Re: Planet Green on cable? YUK! If this is the channel I'm thinking of, then I've caught a couple of programs that I like... 'Wasted' is one, and another is that show about Ed Bagley (sp?)... 'Living with Ed' or something like that. |

Friends: 2 | Re: Planet Green on cable? YUK! Yep, that is the one. I like it. Not as much as Discovery or the Sience channel but for a channel that just started up, pretty good. As for vegie oil, I don't care what the vehicle is used for, veggie oil is 'greener' than gasoline. |

Friends: 8 | Re: Planet Green on cable? YUK! I'm a big fan of those two also, as well as National Geographic Channel and Discovery Health. Ah, but I digress from the green theme... |

Friends: 7 | Re: Planet Green on cable? YUK! sailboat racing burns nothing and doesnt race a hummer H2! Burning veggie oil still is a deisel fuel mixture and adds gunk to the air! It aint veggie oil only you know. It is a waste to race the cars on a tv show and call that any kind of green anything! And the H2 used gasoline! I don't understand why you folks are acting so dense here. You must be pulling my leg right? Yea thats it. Thats the ticket. You had me there! |

Friends: 2 | Re: Planet Green on cable? YUK! I wonder how many hours of shows they have? If they run through all of their shows once per month, how many viewers will they have a year from now? |
