Posted by synergy21...Cheers to Animal Planet for landing Stockard Channing as the new narrator of Meerkat Manor! She brings a certain je ne sais quoi to the show, giving the writers a larger degree of creative license. As much as we enjoyed Sean Astin, we can't imagine him pulling off lines like, "What light through yonder bush breaks?" like Channing did in episode 2.

HBO’s crisply told, colorfully acted Recount wants to be both legal thriller and nightmare farce as it recounts, with news footage and dramatic re-creation, the cliff-hanger aftermath in Florida of the 2000 “squeaker” election between George W. Bush and Al Gore (both mostly off camera).
It has its moments, but can’t help but pale next to our own vivid memories of what it was actually like to live through those 36 days of volatile uncertainty. While the combatants regard the debacle over voting irregularities as a “street fight for the presidency,” the movie often feels like an inner-circle wonkfest: All the Would-Be President’s Lawyers.
