Looks like Discovery is throwing big bucks around to leverage as much cool green content as possible.

Word filtered down yesterday that HGTV has agreed to lease the current 19 existing episodes (Seasons 1 & 2) of Living With Ed for Discovery’s Planet Green network. As we’ve covered time and time again, the series deals with the green (and amusing) lifestyle of Ed Begley Jr. and his “lite-green” wife Rachelle Carson. It’s been a big hit for HGTV — and apparently PG was determined to acquire. From the release,

“‘Ed Begley, Jr. is a veteran of green living and a passionate advocate for the environment,’ said Eileen O’Neill, President and General Manager, Planet Green. “LIVING WITH ED gives viewers a candid look at what it’s like to live in an eco-friendly way every day with great information and a heavy dose of fun.”

‘I am so pleased LIVING WITH ED is going to be a part of Planet Green,’ said Ed Begley, Jr. ‘I’ve had a great time making the series and look forward to continuing to share the show with its many fans.’

Is there any eco show out there that can resist the giant green circle?

Sundance, hang tight!
