Editorial Reviews

Narrated by Sean Astin of the Lord of the Rings and 24, Meerkat Manor was filmed with the assistance of Cambridge University, which is conducting a 10-year study on meerkats. Don't let their cuddly appearance fool you though - there's a good reason these meerkat families are called a mob. From family quarrels to love affairs to backstabbing worthy of a Shakespearean tale, these fuzzy reality-TV stars pack a huge dramatic punch. With cameras recording their every move, Meerkat Manor introduces viewers to the Whiskers, a family of meerkats, revealing their personalities over the course of the series. Researchers call the Whiskers' matriarch Flower, but she is neither delicate nor sweet - she does not let anyone boss her around! Putting her newborn pups before all others, Flower isn't afraid of conflict and will stop at nothing to get her way. Zaphod, the patriarch, defends the Whiskers at all costs - especially against the rival gang of meerkats, the Lazuli. Zaphod seizes control of the family by overthrowing his brother and taking Flower as his own mate. It's Hamlet, only hairier.

SEASON 3: 1) On Dangerous Ground, 2) The Mission, 3) Sister Act, 4) The Death of Romance, 5) The Tale of Len & Squiggy, 6) The House of Zappa, 7) Heavy the Crown, 8) Journey's End, 9) A New Day, 10) Farewell My Lovely, 11) Three Degrees of Separation, 12) The Graduate, 13) A Family at War.
