Highly entertaining, but informative.

"Superb"

By GeorgiaRedClay, Nov 18, 2006

Had you and the camera persons not been bitten, I think your "Monkey Caretaker" episode the funniest ever. Our hero with the big stick, loking over his shoulder and walking backward, being upstaged several times by a spunky little lady - priceless! It was good information on the care given in monkey sanctuaries, and a very good episode.

"Good"

By lawdogtony, Oct 17, 2006

I enjoyed the suspence created by the killer monkey, but that was about it. I mean it wasn't bad it had a lot of good information but not a whole lot happened. Also the lady who runs the Monkey sancuary, for some reason I didn't really care for her much. Nothing specific and she is certainly doing a hard job. But the epsoide on a whole was not all that great but I would probably still watch it again if it was all that was on so I guess it still rates pretty high in my book. Just wanted to put my two cents in.moreless
