In ,
Lou B. purred:
I am a 47-y-o hetero man who cried when Shakespeare, after recuing his
baby brother, limped away after being bitten by that puff adder. I
don't think he made it.

Someone described the show as being "Father Knows Best", "The
Osbournes" and something else all rolled into one. That person was
right on.

Best show on TV. I look forward to seeing the people who made it
getting some major awards.

- Lou


I think Shakespeare lived. There was an episode that I saw where they were
all harassing a snake with their spitting and barking, except for one (I
*think* they said it was Shakespeare), who stayed further away because it
had been bitten before.

Also - know who the narrator is???? LOTR (the movie versions) would
recognize him as Fat Hobbit LOL

It does have its sad points though such as when Shakespear (SP) got bit

by the snake and almost died or Tosca (I think she is the one) being evicted
from the family and forced to live by herself.

Poor Shakespeare! Last night he was still recuperating. Did you see when
they thought Flower was going to kill her grandbabies so there would be more
resources for her own pups? That was a cliffhanger!


This is driving me nuts, because I don't have TV out here on the rock,
much less cable. I will have to order it on DVD; I guess it is gonna
be released tomorrow. I think my tenants will enjoy it too.

Can not wait for the new season to see if Shakespeare (SP) lived through

the rival attack where he was gaurding Flower's babies or if Tosca and romeo
Carlos from another tribe hook up to start their own group.


What made me howl: when Tosca sneaks away, long tail held high, to rendevous
with Carlos the interloper. They show a quick shot of their romancing (it
looked more like dance or play than mating!) then her returning, and the
other meercats chattering and fussing as they smelled her because, as the
narrator said, "she smelled of Carlos' cologne ..." hahahaha! Cologne
indeed! Then she keeps rolling on her back in submissive pose, the narrator
says to roll in dirt and get some of the Carlos smell off of her. Typical
teenager!

Another moment that made me laugh out loud: when Carlos led the other tribe
to confront the Whiskers tribe. And the Whiskers Tribe took the challenge
and all ran at them, growling and making fierce noises, tails high. And
Carlos and the other tribe RAN AWAYYYYYYYY.

These creatures are 12 inches tall when they stand up! One foot high!

hahahaha! I am totally smitten.

i have followed the show throughout the whole season and can't wait until the
next one.
personally my favorite was the season finale where they aren't sure if
shakespeare survived the fight against big sai to save flowers latest litter.
i'm a dork. i think the show is a work of brilliance.


There must be a lot of dorks out there (Me included) because I read
somewhere that Meerkat is on of their most popular shows along with
Animal Cops.

The DVD of it comes out this month.

Can not wait for the new season to start so can find out what happened
to poor Shakespear.

Hey, that is a GREAT web site! Just what I needed, another reason
to blow off work!

Here is a good page from the site above that tells you a bit about
their individual personalities and gives you a glimpse of how the
narrator/story writer presents them:

http://animal.discovery.com/fansites...meet/meet.html

Also, they are WAYYYY cuter moving. They move FAST
and their faces and eyes are so expressive.

When they run their tails stick straight in the air also. They look
like they should have one of these little orange flags tied on it.
:-)

The DVD of the first should be out pretty soon for anyone interested.
I think I shall order it.

Yep, the tails are a major attraction! And their dead serious little faces,
huge sensitive looking eyes, and fast movements come together to be totally
endearing. I don't remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did when
the Whiskers Tribe charged the invading tribe and they all ran at them,
tails high, growling fiercely, and galloping in an odd way that was supposed
to make them--all of them topping out at 12 inches tall on their tippy
toes--seem more fierce. Then when the other tribe took one look and ran away
en masse--I just howled.
