NATURE: "FABULOUS FROGS"
June 25, 2014  | By David Bianculli

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Sir David Attenborough is the presenter of this lighthearted new documentary, which means he’s on camera, not just narrating. And whenever Attenborough is on camera, it’s must-see nature TV, because he’s positively peerless in both his knowledge and his enthusiasm about the natural world. In Fabulous Frogs, he reveals that frogs were the first animals he kept as a kid –and the ease with which he lets them crawl all over him, and gently strokes them to coerce them to croak, demonstrates that he hasn’t lost his early passion, or his touch. The photography here is wonderful, the musical score playful, and the whole hour another easily digested, beautifully photographed magical nature tour. Guaranteed as fun, and fascination, for the whole family, regardless of age. Check local listings.
