Premise: A seven-part science series examining forces that have shaped `our ever-changing planet,' as narrator Richard Kiley put it. Produced in association with the National Academy of Sciences, `Earth' covered areas ranging from earthquakes to `nuclear winter,' and compared Earth with the other planets in the solar system. The series shared 1986's Best Informational Series Emmy with a multipart `Great Performances' biography of Laurence Olivier.
