Very good read, thank you for the link.

He's got a great point about how far they've strayed from their fundamentals as a network about animals. "Animal Planet is, in fact, not about animals."- Really??? I guess Marjorie Kaplan thinks its all about shock value and preying on peoples ignorance to make them afraid of animals.

I think it's also said to see how the History channel is doing the same thing with the reality shows. As long as they keep rolling Modern Marvels though, I'll still be happy. (I never thought I would want to know how hot sauce or Salami is made, and yet I'm still completely enthralled watching)
