According to the Washington Post... "Meerkat Manor." Fewer than half a million people caught the fourth- season premiere of Animal Planet's docudrama. For comparison's sake: Season 3's opener premiered to a crowd of nearly 800,000; Season 2 unveiled to an audience of 821,000; and more than 1 million viewers caught the very first episode of the series.

Plus this from the LA Times about Meerkat Manor and an Emmy...
In today's L.A. Times issue of The Envelope, which chronicles the awards season, Tom O' Neil writes that the animal lovers' favorite soap opera-tinged reality show "Meerkat Manor" may take home its first Emmy nomination for nonfiction series:
"Despite media and viewer mega-hype, "Meerkat Manor" hasn't been nominated in this category yet, but it got a hefty push at the tail end of Emmy eligibility and the start of the voting period as Animal Planet ballyhooed a special heart-tugging movie version focusing on the animals' matriarch -- the formidable Flower, otherwise known as the "Kalahari Desert Rose."
"Meerkat Manor" has serious competition though. O' Neil's short list of favorites:
"American Masters""Biography""Deadliest Catch""Iconoclasts""The Jewish Americans""Meerkat Manor""This American Life"
