(NaturalNews) Mike Adams interviews Ed Begley, Jr., the start of the hit TV series Living with Ed (http://www.livingwithed.net).
Mike: We're here with Ed Begley, Jr. What's on your mind these days Ed?
Living with EdEd: Mike, I've been enjoying this show that I have been doing with my wife called Living with Ed. It's on Home and Garden Television, HGTV. It's been on every Sunday night now since January 1st and they have been rerunning it.
Now we just got picked up for 13 more. So we're going to start that in a week or two, and we're going to be airing them in a few months after that. It's a wonderful show that through entertainment value gets people to tune in. I've done environmental shows before. The problem is they were very dry and nobody watched.
I had a show on Discovery Channel that was on at four in the morning that had very low viewership, and it was about recycling and saving energy and all this stuff, but it never really reached a wide audience. We're doing this show now that has a very wide audience. We have gotten over a million people many weeks that we've been on. So we do that through showing our life as a reality show.
We're not quite the Osbournes, but we have a very interesting way of relating to each other. I care very deeply about the environment. My wife cares about the environment too, but she's very interested in style and comfort. She comes at it from that point of view.
I am happy to save energy. I am happy to help the environment. But I don't want to be uncomfortable. I don't want to be driving a car that doesn't look good. I don't want things in my backyard that are unattractive like those rain barrels, get them out of there. So that is kind of the angle of the show.
Once you get people to tune in with that entertainment value if you will, you can have take-aways every show, things that people can do that are simple. And that is why we chose Home and Garden and they chose us, because they are great with watch and then do. People watch Home and Garden, putting up drywall, or installing copper pipe, and they go and do it.
Mike: So you are making green living really practical.
Ed: That's the idea. And it's not just about solar panels and electric cars. We feature those things in the show. We make sure there is low hanging fruit that we're featuring every week that people can pick that are able to see some of the things we're doing that are inexpensive and put money in their pocket right away, where they can get a lot of bang for their buck: things like a compact fluorescent bulb, an energy-saving thermostat, bike riding for transportation if weather and fitness permit, public transportation if it's available in your area. All those things that are very inexpensive put cash in your wallet right away.
Mike: And do you think that the popularity of the show is due in part to, for example, the popularity of the movie Who Killed the Electric Car? Or is the timing just right now for this?
An idea whose time has comeEd: Mike, I think the timing is right. Al Gore's movie has helped. A lot of stuff, it's not just entertainment. It's what you read in USA Today and L.A. Times and New York Times and Time and News Week and all of the mainstream media. You don't even have to deal with any of the media, you can go online, go to www.NASA.com, and www.NOAA.com – you know the NOAA – National Oceanographic Atmospheric website, and on and on.
