Living Wild (National Geographic Channel)

Although Living Wild is a bit tamer than edgier nature shows like Totally Wild, it's still far from censored. Some young viewers may be upset by watching the tribulations of, say, an adorable cub turning into a menacing bear. The show is gorgeous to look at and beautifully filmed; it may just be the next-best alternative to buying an around-the-world airplane ticket and heading into the wild yourself. And the narration is informative, though kids may find it a little dry -- it's obviously not designed to spark or engage a young audience.
