It's an interesting show. I found the two-hour pilot, aired about a year ago, to be particularly enlightening. The series seems to just be elaborating on the premises originally presented in that first show.
I believe the series is based on the book The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. I haven't acquired it yet (read excerpts in Discover magazine)but I plan on it. I find having a print resource is usually more convenient than scanning DVRed shows or DVDs. But, for pure visual impact, the TV version is pretty effective.
It's usefulness for T2K is probably somewhat limited, although the stuff they've done on life 1-5 years after people is applicable. For the Morrow Project and similar long-view post-apocalyptic stuff, though, LAP and the WWU are pure gold.
