Who would have ever thought that these creatures could be so fascinating as individuals as well as a group? Meerkats live a life of drama that the best writers can only dream about. Zaphod stold Flower from his brother. Punk stold her sister's mate, then dumped him for his brother Houdini. Daughters are exiled for getting pregnant, but their roving brothers are all welcomed back. Innocent babies murdered to insure leadership. Houdini scored with Flower while Zaphod was close by, then later on romanced her daughters. Wilson got cozy with Rocket Dog, then hours later spent the night with her sister Mozart. These boys could teach Casanova.

On the other hand, we have many heroes. Shakespeare saved the lives of many of his siblings, and how we cried when he died defending his family (or was his contract picked up by National Geographic). And how our hearts were broken when Flower died from a snake bite defending her newborn babies (or did she ask for a raise). It was so tragic when poor Mozart was taken by a jackal just hours after being with Wilson who was ready to make a commitment (or was she simply too old at 4 years).

Meerkat Manor can be addictive. Season finales after two months is way too soon. We want more.
