Purchasing the set of the old Merv Griffin Show, Kramer (Michael Richards) transforms his living room into a talk show -- but is it "Merv," or is it "Scandals and Animals?" (And yes, that's Wild Kingdom's Jim Fowler.) Meanwhile, Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is plagued at work by a "sidler" who causes her to create a coffee stain in the shape of Fidel Castro. George (Jason Alexander) can't seem to drive anywhere without running over a cute little animal. And Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) hopes to persuade his girlfriend to let him sample her rare toy collection. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

China's wildlife is more than pandas, yaks, Asiatic black bear and the golden pheasant. China has nearly one thousand nature reserves that cover over 700-thousand hectares, or equivalent to 7.6% of its country. This documentary goes to the rarely photographed areas of the vast Asian wilderness and captures the colorful animals of that expansive land, untainted by human presence, living in their natural habitats. It is an ideal video for natural and animals lovers of all kinds. ~ Forrest Spencer, All Movie Guide
