Where's the animals??
- - Too many Treehouse Masters marathons; need animal programming.
- - I like My Cat From Hell, The Vet Life; want more new animal shows.
Why are they playing marathons of Treehouse Masters? When I tune in, I expect and I hope to see animals!!
Some of the shows I like: My Cat From *** The Vet Life, Dr. Dee, Dr. Jeff, Pitbulls and Parolees, but nothing but reruns with these. They play North Woods Law and Treehouse, ad nauseam.
How about finding some new shows with animals?
What happened to Saved by the Barn, too? Thanks for listening!
- Some really good shows with animals
- Shows with no animals
User's recommendation: Play shows with ANIMALS please, not Treehouses and Wardens

Cancelled good dog, farm, behavioral animal shows
- - There were amazing vet, rescue, farm life, animal rehab, cat/dog, and wild animal shows.
- - Animal Planet has no place to comment on their page.
There were amazing vet, training, rescue, farm life, animal rehab, cat and dog shows, wild animal shows. I guess , not surprisingly, animal planet has NO PLACE on their page to leave comments.
They must be making plenty of money without caring about the viewer. I hope someone either manages or purchases the station.

Verified ReviewerUnsatisfied with programming
- - The reviewer notes non-animal shows like Yukon Man and Last Alaskans on Animal Planet.
- - They want more animal-focused programming and backlog shows.
Take off these stupid shows tanked treehouse Masters anything to do with naked people should not be on animal planet young kids like to watch the shows you produce shows that have nothing to do with animals your programming department must be on drugs I'm an older person and my one Joy is to watch animal planet but I'll have to rethink that unless you come up with better programming you have a lot of backlogged animal scene shows you start with a for example Yukon man last alaskans aquarium where are your good zoo shows you have them back locked get it done or I am done this is really stupid and apparently your programming department is very stupid put back on Discovery what doesn't need to be on animal planet
User's recommendation: Pick your programs appropriately too much nudity just trying to draw in young people

Review for Treehouse Masters
- - No animals here.
- - This show builds treehouses.
- - It's aimed at the very rich.
- - It replaces Dr. Jeff's show, and fans can't find it.
This show has no place on Animal Planet! No animals, just building
treehouses that only the very rich could afford!
This show belongs on the many house building shows. This show takes the place of a great animal show Dr. Jeff! People love Dr.
Jeff s show, but no one can find it!
Everyone can enjoy and learn from Dr. Jeff and his vets!

Palmetto, Florida
Too many humans, not enough animals
- - Channel shifted from its namesake to hunting animals and tree houses.
- - Few nature documentaries or animal facts are shown.
This channel used to actually be about its namesake, now its about dirty old men hunting down and killing animals or tree houses. Next to no nature documentaries, next to no animals facts.
The TV network is in a down spiral because they wanted to be discovery channel or National Geographic.
Why run this channel with the name it has if you hate animals. The channel barely shows them and only show humans hunting them or their ecosystems being destroyed for rich yuppies tree houses.
User's recommendation: Don’t watch Animal Planet until they fix it
Missing infomation
- - Trying to reach a live person was hard, requiring many calls and messages, while shows are great but there's no live help for missing details.
I tried to call and talk to a live person but you get run around and run around and you have to call this person called that person and you have to leave a detailed message blah blah blah blah it's just *** I'm very disappointed on how they handle phone calls they provide awesome shows but when there's missing details in some of the shows they won't let you talk to a live person and it's very disappointing
User's recommendation: If you have helpful tips to help improve the show don't waste your time calling because they take you as a joke

Verified ReviewerThey've become *** for Big Pharma
- - Animal Planet airs many drug ads during breaks.
- - Tree House Masters is interrupted by ads; viewing suffers.
Animal Planet has sold out to become whorse for Big Pharma, every commercial break is filled with drug ads ! Tsk tsk .
I tried to watch one of my favorite shows Tree House Masters and every other commercial in which there more commercials then show air time were Big Pharma pushing their drugs! USA is only one of 2 countries that still allow Big Pharma to push their drugs on TV and the fact that Animal Planet participates in such behaviour is Spaulding, Fail Animal Planet
User's recommendation: Boycott Animal Planet for their deceptive practices !

Not happy with Animal Planet in the last few years I hardly watch it anymore
I am happy to see the rescue animal cop shows on Sunday. About time.
I also like Amanda to the rescue.
I hate all these hunting shows. Some of the shows have nothing to do with animals.
Lawrenceburg, Indiana
To give my opinion
- - Animal Planet was a go-to before the overhaul.
- - Only Pitbulls/paroles and Amanda to rescue are worth watching, and they are very old.
Animal planet was once the go-to channel in my home. Ever since it's overhaul with new owners, it is not worth my time.
Pitbulls/paroles and Amanda to rescue only shows worth watching and they are REALLY old. Warners really screwed up!

Canceling of a favorite show
- - My Cat channel was canceled and education docs removed.
- - The lineup is junk and service was canceled; viewers watch random content online.
You canceled My Cat from *** and trashed all that the channel was all the wonderful education natural documentaries are gone now and filled with junk! Yours and other channels are in serious decline it's gotten so bad I canceled my dish altogether and just watch random stuff I find online. The TV era is dead, you people have no clue what your audiences actually want.
User's recommendation: Go to a search engine and type in watch free movies online (will tv shows too) have your adblockers and pop up blockers on.

Verified ReviewerOnline bullying
- - User says Mireya Mayor posted photos of deceased parents and child with insults.
- - Requests to remove were ignored; legal action may follow.
They ignore me
Your actor, Mireya Mayor, has stolen a picture of my deceased parents and my child from my personal page and posted it online with ugly comments. She has refused to remove it after repeated demands.
If she continues to refuse, legal action may follow. It's not a good PR look for you, allowing your representatives to bully online by degrading my deceased family.
- Allow online bullying by your representatives
