Do You Watch Animal Planet?

[ParNone]

When I first got cable with Animal Planet on it, I watched all the time. Breed All About It, Pet Story, Emergency Vets, Pet Psychic, just pretty much all the upbeat shows. But I'm like micki now, I rarely watch it anymore. All those shows are reruns and the new shows all seem to be either abuse shows, which I just can't watch, or some guy running around pestering reptiles, which I have no desire to watch.

I keep wondering with such a boom in dog sports, why they're not showing agility, frisbee, earthdog, etc competitions. They broadcast all kinds of dog shows, so I don't get why they don't capitalize on all these different dog sports, which are way more interesting to watch, in my view.

I don't watch it as much as I used to for some of the same reasons others have stated but I love any of the specials that are on sometimes like when there was a special on there about war dogs or agility championships etc. I also enjoyed Pet Star and look forward to the new season of that. I record/watch all the K9-5 shows on the weekends. I like that one show "The Most Extreme".. can't remember if that was on Animal Planet or Discovery but I was thinking it was AP. It's the countdown show where they always have a top 10 animals in a different category every time, like top 10 strongest animals, top 10 stinkiest, top 10 most venomous, etc.

Mmm well for the longest time I didn't have it and all of my friends did, but I JUST got it for the first time in maybe 5 years. I don't know that many shows they have since we just got it...I saw one I didn't really like about these people going on a date who had dogs...can't remember what it was called.

Sorry if somebody already posted about this, I didn't read all the replies.

Excellent point! I'd love to see more dog sports on Animal Planet.
