Monkey be damned! SURFING HIPPOS!! 
Anybody think there was an outside shot that the second Survivor couple was Natalie and Parv? 
Just get an HD TiVo. You not only won’t need a nanny or to change the baby’s bedtime, but you’ll be able to watch the hippos surf in HD over and over.
I went to the CBS website just so I could watch the surfing hippos again. Twice.
Natalie.

CMC +fnord!
Hippos and monkeys and surfing … oh my! Suddenly, I am ever-so-grateful that we got the HD DVR when we had the money. Honestly, I have no idea how we lived without it for so damn long. We were practically uncivilized!
What!? XDCAM HD? I thought they were doing real HD, not 1440 4:1:1! I will not accept subsampled surfing HD hippos, dammit! ![]()
According to Sony, it does 1080, 16:9.
Yeah, but its 1440 width, aspect expanded to 1920, so it’s not full horizontal resolution. And its 4:1:1 chroma subsampling. All of which is not really a problem, I’m just playfully bitching about what passes for “HD”. Personally, I think they should shoot everything on a Red (then downsample to “HD” res), for those true 12-bit hippos. ![]()
Well, jees, whaddaya expect for 30 grand?
