Amazing Creatures

10

By kellybuzz, May 08, 2013

I never thought twice about arrange a tang so until I watched a rang a tang Island and chimp Eden I absolutely love these little guys. it has been super informative and I never knew how amazing these creatures could would love to visit Borneo and meet Lona Dresser. it's heartwarming yet sad to see what humans can actually do to these amazing creatures and I'm so glad that there is a place for them to go and recover and live their lives happily I wish that there were more episodes I often wonder what has become of them now as they are entered adult hood. Please bring back around your tang Island and chimp Eden for it has become one of my favorite shows by far amazing job. Animal Planet has taught me many many things and I would absolutely love to visit and become a part of what you all have been doing there.moreless

truly miss chen chen

I like many others miss this show along with Escape to Chimp Eden. Even though they have been canceled, i watch them on the animal planet channel a paid programming not as Escape to Chimp Eden or Oranutan Island. I watch them every time they are on even though I've seen them before. They make me laugh, they make me cry, they make my day. They need to be brought back for everyone to get the chance to know Hamlet and the gang and Cozi and the gang. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE BRING THESE SHOWS BACK.

I STILL CAN'T FIND OUT WHY THEY CANCELED BOTH OF THESE SHOWS.moreless

By KathyHuntley, Jun 04, 2012

I Love Orangutan Island and am at a LOSS Now as to WHY This show is NO Longer on Animal Planet and OR WHY did they either Cancel the show OR why did they STOP Making the Show.?????? seems with ALL The Monkey shows, they Only last a couple of seasons and they are No longer making them, I have read that MANY ppl ARE Upset that these shows are not being made anymore..??????? Someone MUST Speak to who ever is in charge of these shows and tell them the ppl WANT THEM ALL BACK and Orangutan IS ANOTHER OF OUR Favorite shows and sadly now were ALL Missing it and left Wondering what happened to out tv_animal_friends.???????? This is NOT FAIR to get us hooked to these : Orangutans, Apes,Monkeys, etc.......and play with Our Emotions this way, as we ALL have grown to Love these guys in the forests and now you all have taken away our friends, and leaving us ALL wondering how is : Jordon, Daisy,Cha Cha, Chen.Chen, and then other shows : Portia who was MY Favorite_ and I was always worried about her and now I have NO Idea how she is and how her baby is, WELL YOU NOW GET MY POINT,

BRING BACK OUR SHOWS, I AM SURE AS WE WATCH AND YOU SHOW COMMERCIALS, THATS ALOT OF MONEY TO BE PUT INTO PRODUCING AND PUTTING THESE GR8 Shows back On the Air.!!??? At Least they are NOT Actors and do NOT have to be Paid. well in food, BUT Alot of many of their foods are right in the Forests~~!! Bottom Line __ PLEASE BRING BACK ALL OUR MONKEY SHOWS, WE SO DEEPLY LOVE TO WATCH, AND LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING AND NOW WERE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT OUT FURRY FRIENDS,---------BRING ALL THEM SHOWS BACK, Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! :-( = SAD IN CANADA :-( :-(moreless

Anyone know if there is going to be a season 2? If so will it be the same group or a new group?
