TV Buzz The prequel series to Werner Herzog’s documentary, Grizzly Man, premieres tonight on Animal Planet. The New York Times reviewed the show, and said it looks like “a chronicle of one man’s extended suicide”. Timothy Treadwell, the deceased star of Grizzly Man, is obviously the star of the show, as the 8 part documentary takes viewers through the hours of unused footage of Treadwell playing with bears, calling them names, and being generally crazy. Kids, don’t play with bears.
Business Buzz Setting off to see bears in the wild is a growing eco-tourism trend. Despite documentary evidence that spending too much time around grizzlies can be dangerous to your health (they attack!), it’s a booming niche travel market, and guides insist it’s safe.
