REASON TO WATCH: Because you were one of the nearly 5.5millionviewers who made the archetype significant a smash hit. WHAT IT'S ABOUT: When more than 5 million tuned into the "Life After People" certain in January 2008, you could euphonious much figure out the days (or months) until a series was developed. And here it is. In the original, History producers imagined what would happen when humans were no longer around to suppress the great monuments of Earth's edification intact.
Think "post-apocalyptic"-meets-CGI; it was both terrible and glorious. Tonight, the apocalypse continues (for a whole of 10 weeks). The series begins on a unwholesome track, wondering about what happens to bodies -- frozen or mummified -- but "Life After People" is not one to tarry.
The incident moves immediately onto the death of the USS Constitution, Sistine Chapel, borough of Boston, Astrodome, Lenin's body and much more. It also visits Hashima Island off Japan -- once a thriving diocese staunch to coal-mining, evil 35 years ago and now a wasteland. We also get the picture that the Space Station will explode to Earth eventually, which will end an unconventional pile of DNA onboard -- including a piece, in all likelihood hair, of Stephen Colbert! (You can't modify this up.) The big question: You were asking, how can this break into a series? According to a History release: "Each matter is a more itemized examination of the the world at large we've built the survivors who adjudicate to consider our burden -- how will incontrovertible breeds of dogs evolve," for example. Also, "Every happening includes a stop in to a licit site big quash of multitude -- Tyneham, England … Angkor Wat, Cambodia.
" BOTTOM LINE: Those who didn't down-swing asleep in tipsy seminary English kind will memorialize that demarcation of poetry from Shelley's "Ozymandias" about the ruined colossus in the desert: "… Round the turn of that mammoth wreck, vast and bare, the lone and destroy sands stretch far away." This never-to-be-forgotten program is dedicated to that above-board proposition: We humans will not survive our mighty works, and our prodigious works will not outlast weather, space or pigeon droppings. This is the anti-history show on History, but what an amazing, enjoyable and educative ride. The "Life After People" series premiere airs 9 p.m. CDT Tuesday on History.
