brian lowry on life after people: the series

Seriously, this may need to become a regular feature -- Lowry is a zinger machine. Here's part of his review of Life After People: The Series:

"Welcome to Earth. Population: zero," the narrator says at the outset.

Faced with the option of sitting through subsequent hours of "Life After People," the same description could apply to my living room.

I confess that I was intrigued by the original Life After People special. Then I watched it. Unspeakably lame. But, as Lowry points out, it was the History Channel's most-watched program, so of course the network execs would be stupid not to keep churning out more of it for audiences.
