What's happened to Animal Planet?

Postby sezwa » Tue Jul 21, 2009 5:53 pm

I remember Animal Planet used to show some really interesting documentaries with amazing landscapes and wildlife. However in recent years all they seem to show is rubbish such as Animal Crackers and Animal Cops Houston. I used to watch Animal Planet religiously but nowdays I hardly ever watch it.

Is anyone else disappointed with the quality of programmes shown on Animal Planet and the channel as a whole?

It used to be my favourite channel too, but I hardly watch it now. I do like The Dog Whisperer & Dog Borstal though. It's amusing to see the halfwit pleb on there with completely unsuitable dogs and not much of a clue making complete fools of themselves.

Horse & Country Channel is worth a watch sometimes.

Judging by that summary I'm quite tempted to watch it!

There used to be some good documentaries on it but know it's more an entertainment channel. Try Eden if you can get it.
The past is just that, the past. Today is what matters.

I'd like to watch Eden, but we've got freeview rather than Sky (I presume that Sky has it).

I like Animal Cops Houston.....and not just because I fancy Max Mixson either.
