This sounds really fun.. a reality show about a family of meerkats.

Follow Flower and the daily drama of her 12-inch tall family that's a lot like yours.

Starts Friday June 9 at 8pm et/pt on Animal Planet!

I saw the ad for this show, too. I can't remember who is the meerkat lover at the animal farm. Did you post over there?

I don't venture over there. I do remember there being a Meerkat over there. Perhaps you guys need a link here?

Yes, it looks very cute. There are two episodes this Friday night. Nice, since so many of the Friday night lineup are done for the season (or forever).

I have always loved meerkats. They have a little exhibit at the San Diego Zoo.

I love meerkats! I used to work with a gal who had a poster over her desk of meerkats with little balloon sayings for all the people we worked with. I always think of Kelly Butler whenever I see meerkats. They're so cute!!!

I happened to tape an old dog show on Animal Planet today and have seen previews of Meerkat Manor several times now.. looks pretty cute. I love the way then stand up and look around, too.

We are hooked on Animal Cops in our house so I've seen the commercial a lot.

Mamie, did you watch Animal Cops Phoenix last night? (New episodes) 3 inches of paper, animal droppings, etc. on the floor, and about 50 cats, man.

I missed that one but I watched Animal Precinct and there was a woman who had 82 dogs in her house! It was unbelieveable the way those dogs were. They had ticks and fleas galore.

I can't watch those kinds of animal shows. It makes me want to torture people. But I love meerkats and will watch that!

Seamonkey, I hung out at the Meerkats in the San Diego zoo while the boys toured the rest of the place. I am fascinated by these precious creatures.

Love that picture. Reminds me of my dog who thinks that begging for cookies requires her to stand on he hindllegs and jump around.

There is a lot of resemblence to that picture.

Carlos and Daisy are the Tony and Maria of West Side Meerkat story! It was just amazing to watch the interaction and the reign of Mama Flower.

I tried to watch last night but got scared for the wee ones when they were leaving their hovel. I couldn't bear to watch if some predator got to them.

I watched the first episode with DS (age 5 1/2) this morning. I kept my finger poised over the FF button the whole time when little Mitch was out there by himself (he made it back safe, Mocha--whew!) and when they showed poor Shakespeare and his snake bite. Little guy kept saying, "Awwwwww, they're so cute and cuddly!" I don't know how he would've handled it had anything happened to any of them. I know I wouldn't have taken it well myself. I know nature is harsh, but I just can't watch cute, little cuddly things being eaten by creatures higher up the food chain. Don't think DS even actually understands yet that "chicken" comes from chickens and "hamburger" comes from moo cows. Soon enough . . .

Oh, and we loved what we saw. I don't know about poor little Shakespeare, though. He didn't look so good at the end of the first episode. Hope they don't dwell if he doesn't make it.

I hope that Shakespeare comes out of it okay. He really didn't look so well and I just wanted to pick him up and do something.

Mary, it repeats (there were two half hour episodes and they repeat here on Monday at 2:00pnm and 2:30pm. That's all I see on my DVR schedule so far.)

I also hope Shakespeare makes it.. what a brave little guy and he saves the baby that the teenager carried off and then abandonned.

It isn't all sweetness and light but realistic, I guess.

I loved how the babies were already practicing their digging and balancing on two feet, which they will realy need.

If you don't want to know the fate of Tosca's pups after Youssarian leaves them strewn about in the hot sun, don't go to the official site. I can't believe they spoiled it a week ahead :-( I went there to see what the name of the crazy one is, and right there in his profile was the spoiler. So I didn't read the rest of their profiles in case they had other spoilers.

Can someone please tell me if Shakespeare is OK? I have it recorded, but if he doesn't make it, I'll delete it, and never watch the show again. I just can't handle it. I've seen what a rattlesnake bite did to my dogs, and I cried like a baby when Shakes got bit and was limping and the look of pain on his face was unbearable. Please tell me he's OK!! (but really, tell me the truth!!)

Yep, he lives :-) He gets enough strength and goes out foraging and gets a full belly, but not before he lost 1/3 of his body weight. He is actually walking on the leg now :-)

Thank You so much Naja!! I'm doing the happy dance now!! I hate getting so emotional over something that is so natural, but I was just a basket case after watching him hurt so bad!!
