Review for Treehouse Masters

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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!

Too many humans, not enough animals

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.

Missing infomation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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

They've become *** for Big Pharma

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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

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.

To give my opinion

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

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.

Online bullying

They ignore me

Original review Sep 01, 2024

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.

Cons:
  • Allow online bullying by your representatives

Show with Tattoo lady & family giving WRONG advice

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The show with the unprofessional tattoo lady and family is a disgrace to those who work in the Veterinary field. It gives the impression that people who work with animals are dirty!

Plus her advice is ALWAYS wrong!! Rabies vaccines are required in ALL 50 states. If you want a good show about animal advice, I could give you the name of clean, upkempt people who would be more than happy to give advice professionally!

Youve insulted an advid watcher. I will do my best to make sure I can reach out to as many people as possible to NOT watch your network anymore!!Wtf

Spanish

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Why does Animal Planet have commercials in Spanish? I like Dr.

Jeff, but when the Spanish commercials come on, I don't want to watch anymore. If you're trying to get people to like this, believe me, we don't. English is the language of this country. You should start a Spanish station on a Spanish network.

I used to love Animal Planet. Not anymore.

Pros:
  • Gret channel
Cons:
  • Spanish commercials
