What to Watch This Weekend, Jan. 20 - 21

by Kelly Woo, posted Jan 20th 2007 10:39AM
Ocean's Deadliest on Animal PlanetOcean's Deadliest (Sun., 8PM, Animal Planet)
Steve Irwin died filming this documentary about the sea's most dangerous creatures. It's a weird thing to watch a celebrity's last work. It feels both morbidly voyeuristic and fittingly laudatory at the same time. Footage from the day Irwin was pierced by stingray barb will not be shown. 'Deadliest' will be followed by 'Crikey, What an Adventure,' a special about Irwin's life. Meanwhile, his daughter, Bindi, carries on her father's animal-loving torch with her own show on Disney later this year.

Well as long as everyone else is complaining, I'll ad my complaint to the list. I really hate this new posting style for this feature. I really liked the "What's on Tonight" feature better and it was often one of the reasons I would initially think to go to TV Squad because I wanted to know what was on. Do this one if you want in addition to the old one as a recommendation post but bring back the "What's on Tonight" feature already. I think it's fairly obvious that people don't like it's replacement.

Will we ever get an answer as to why TVS readers have lost good content and gotten this repost of a lousy column from AOL's tv section?

I'm not opposed to change, at least as long as it's an improvement. This is not.

Damn, there was no post there when I wrote that. Oh well. I don't see any issue with the new listing. I just think it needs a little seasoning.
