Life After People

Life After People is a documentary on the History Channel about what scientists think the earth, animal life, and plant life might be like if humanity no longer existed, as well as the effect humanity's disappearance would have on the artificial aspects of civilization.

The hypotheses will be illustrated with CGI dramatizations, depicting the fate of such icons as the Sears Tower, the Space Needle, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Eiffel Tower.

The documentary is scheduled to premiere on Monday, January 21, 2008, at 9 P.M. eastern time.

Sounds interesting, thanks for the heads up

grundle

You're welcome. And yes, it sure does sound interesting.

So, the world will look like DC in Logan's Run....

Looks interesting.

Looks very interesting, they are really pushing this hard, saw it in the trailers before the movie tonight I watched, started.

DeputyDave

Saw the trailer about a month ago in the theater. Looks really good. I especially like how they use Chernobyl to illustrate how much city can change in such a short time without people.

Oh, so the magazine isn't folding after all.

Either the entire show is based on this book, or this show is a huge ripoff

BTW, based on the book...this should be good and suprising

Also...biggest shocker for me...without people roaches would be toast

If we could die off and then come back after the roaches are gone that would be great.

Forgot all about this, but just set the dvr... I need to start writing stuff down.

it's great to see History Channel become less WWII obsessed - between this show (which was excellent) the Monster Quest series, Shockwave, tonight's new season of 'The Universe' and the upcoming UFO series - there's a slew of shows I'm really enjoying.

I though it was really well done and after playing so much Call of Duty 4 lately it was neat to see the abandoned amusement park in Pripyat up close.

I saw some of this. The Chernobyl stuff was interesting but the CGI in the speculative sections was so bad that it was off-putting. I lost interest quick.

superdeluxe

Thats interesting, because on the show they said that while Roaches would take a big hit in the colder climates, those that would live, would adapt and survive.

Giles

yes they did say that, for a creature that's been around since the dinosaurs, roaches would probably be the only creatures to live until the very end of earth's existence.

I thought it was fascinating that cats would adapt better and live longer than most breeds of dog.

Wormwood

Saw this yesterday, it was only mildly interesting. The best part was about the Chernobyl incident and the aftermath.

I watched this and really enjoyed it. I have a real interest in ruins and contemplating how famous cities would look abandoned was really cool. The CGI wasn't great but the whole point was to make you think about stuff in my opinion and they definitely did that for me. Thinking about all the house pets dying was kind of sad.

Tracer Bullet

Yeah, that was quite the opening.

The worst part was my dog was laying next to me on the couch.
