NATURE celebrates 25 years in January

That would be NATURE, the long-running PBS series, not nature itself, which has been around much longer than twenty-five years. If you're a fan of nature programs like I am, then be sure to check out The Best of NATURE - 25 Years, a ninety-minute retrospective that will look back on the last twenty-five years of the award-winning PBS program that began in 1982. The special will be hosted by Lynn Sherr, who previously hosted the NATURE special about giraffes, "Tall Blondes," based on her book of the same name. The special will look back at old episodes to show how animals must learn to survive in the wild, learn to hunt and/or escape, reproduce, and sometimes readjust to life in captivity. The special will also pay tribute to George Page, the creator of NATURE who passed away last year.

The Best of NATURE - 25 Years airs January 14 at 8 pm on PBS. You can also catch a new NATURE special, "Christmas in Yellowstone," tomorrow night at 8 pm.
