Planet Beautiful is a documentary show that explores the culture of planets hosting crawls.[1]
Description
The show is produced by the Titan Conglomerate. Its creator and producer is a Nullian called Bin. He started the show to tell the real stories of the cultures being destroyed by the crawl. It is as factual as he is able to make it and involves crawlers describing aspects of their planet's culture to the viewers.[1]
The show has become a massive hit during the Earth season as a result of the universe's unexpected interest in Earth culture. This has allowed some of the most sought-after crawlers to be on the show. The appearance fee for Carl and Donut was greater than the budget of the previous two seasons of the show.[1]
The topics from the show are researched by an AI consultant, as contact with native species is not allowed until after the crawl. As Borant started the crawl early, the AI consultant had not finished its scan, making the research for this season appear as if it was written by a 15-year-old who only used information from Reddit and YouTube.[1]

Story
Book 3
Zev informs Carl and Donut that they will be appearing on Planet Beautiful as they exit the Dismemberment Limited on the Fourth Floor. After she explains the format, Carl has doubts, but Donut, hearing her segment will be about beauty pageants and pet shows, is very excited.[2]
On the show, Carl refuses to read facts about "Chad-class males" and "roasties" and argues with the producer, who subsequently offers other topics. Carl considers talking about the history of milk pasteurization, in order to tank the show, but ultimately considers that the producer is a decent guy who is attempting to do right by Earth culture. Carl talks about video arcades, instead, while Donut goes off script and tells the universe about Cocker Spaniels.[1]
