Of course, it's a pretty serious drive to get down there, and not everyone can probably make it. But if that's the case, you're still sort of in luck, because once upon a time, Animal Planet considered turning Colorado Gators into a reality series and even made a pilot of the show, called Rocky Mountain Gators.
The pilot originally aired on December 9 and then faded into the ether, presumably never to be seen again -- you can't even find a YouTube clip of it. For whatever reason, though, Animal Planet is re-airing the pilot a couple of times in the next couple of weeks -- albeit not exactly at peak viewing hours, but you can check it out: It airs once on Monday, February 21, at 10 a.m., and then again on Monday, February 28, at 5 a.m., right in between the Ronco paid programming slot and a very special presentation of Midnight Clown: Michael Myers vs. John Wayne Gacy.
It's a weird hour to be watching TV, but then again, it'll surely be weird TV to be watching.
