Sunrise Earth coming to DVD

If you're a fan of Sunrise Earth, you'll be thrilled to hear it's coming to DVD on 11/1.  We'll have America's Sunrises, vol 1, the first half of the first season, and America's Sunrises: Best of East and West.  In further good news, if you're interested in an early copy, post a comment here, or mention it on your blog, and our resident "Queen of All Media," Pam, will make arrangements to distribute early copies to some posters until she's out.

[Update: 10/5 -- Sunrise Earth is now available for preorder on our site.  Delivery is scheduled for 12/7, and will make a great gift next to the new Samsung 46" HD TV, which coincidentally, is now live on our site as well :)]

Shark Week 20th Anniversary Coverage

Shark Week celebrates its 20th annual run this week hosted by Survivorman Les Stroud. The biggest Shark Week yet has fans of all ages and the press buzzing. Check out a recent article from the Washington Post. Then, discover thrilling Shark Week products.   

“Rarely does a cable show about fish become a pop culture staple, but "Shark Week" has been on for 20 straight summers, which defies simple explanations about fads and freak-show hits and a certain Steven Spielberg film. There's apparently something prehistoric wired into the human fear complex about darkness and blood and things with teeth that combines with the modern neurosis that has us scaring ourselves silly with things that are highly unlikely to actually do us harm (sharks, serial killers, Yoko Ono recordings). Although neurology has yet to find this particular part of the psyche, we can tell you that 20 million people are compelled to tune in to at least part of the Seven Days of the Shark each year to get a fright.”
