Windows to the Wild / Three Mile Island
 

Does anyone tune in to this show with Willem Lange on PBS? ( http://www.nhptv.org/schedule/summar...wstotheWild801 There's no drama, gore, explosions or commercials!! Willem just hikes around to different places and narrates.

Last night he visited Three Mile Island on Lake Winnipesaukee!
It will be rebroadcast twice this week-end - highly recommended!

I do, just not regularly! It is a great show!

I find it annoying that the Discovery and NatGeo channels are all reality shows now. I miss the hour long documentaries on animals and cultures from domestic to exotic.

Absolutely. Always interesting (and relaxing). Kinda like Mr. Rogers goes hiking. It's true; NatGeo and such now feel the need to go "reality" or viewers will get bored because of short attention spans. Geesh! We watch NH Chronicle each night; Willem always does a little history gig at the end.

I agree, NatGeo at one time is my all time favorite. Not any more. Lately I find NHPT extremely attractive with a variety of shows. Big plus are all those rock and roll, blues throwbacks.

Plus uninterrupted shows with no commercials!

Love Willem but I think your refering to Fritz Weatherbee maybe?

Just missed it. But will look forward to watching it again on Saturday.
Old Camp Idlewild on Cow held the same recharge for me as a kid.
And now you know I date back to prehistoric!

I have to share since this was mentioned. I pulled into the docks at sheps just as Willem was there unloading his truck and canoe apparently preparing to film that episode. So I have no idea who he is, I don't watch PBS, but my Aunt who watches the show struck up a conversation with him. Of course I went over an joined it and felt a little bad cause I admittedly told him that I didn't watch his show or even knew what it was but I will say he's a really nice guy and very interesting to talk to. I have been wondering how that episode came out. May have to catch it.

Looks like these shows eventually make it to their online streaming website for replay anytime, though this episode not on there yet......

I bet these two could have quite a chat....

Willem hiked the AT end to end in 79 days at the age of 20
WOW

Three Mile Island...
 

" is a 43-acre island of rocky woodland that has avoided development and modernization for the past 100 years."

I think it is an island older than 100 years and has avoided development for a lot longer than 100 years.

Just being a wise-ass.

great guys..........
 

Really enjoy watching both of those fellows.........real New Hampshire people!

Fritz vs Willem
 

You are correct, I did mean Fritz.

Wow! Congrats!

TMI is directly across form me and a big part of my view. Once in while I see the lanterns of the campers as they make their way to or from their cabins. I've been over and walked it a few times, both summer and winter, and I kayak around it a few times every year. It seems to me to be a great place to take a young family. If I didn't live here I would have definitely taken mine.

Kind of
 

Willem was born in New York state.He lived in Nh for 40 years and moved to Vt in 2007.He is 78-79 yo so he spent about half his life as a NH resident.
