Ret. Gen. Colin Powell is apparently a Meerkat Manor fan. Check out this nugget from theAtlantic.com.
Powell said he was doing his best not to make news; he joked that he put a moratorium on political television in his house from 5pm to 10pm and watched Animal Planet instead. It seems that Colin Powell is a fan of Meerkat Manor.
So, who else is a fan of the 'Manor'. Please leave a name and link to a source. Let's start a list of famous people are fans of Animal Planet's
Meerkat Manor: The Next Generation".. :) Cheers!

More in the media...
A director at Arizona State University recently won a big book award for his children's book about... meerkats. From ASU:
Conrad J. Storad's book “Meerkats” was the first children’s book to ever garner the Best Book Award from the Arizona Book Publishing Association.
“The judges liked it because it presented facts and interesting information in a fun and entertaining manner for young readers,” he says. “The photography in the book is also quite excellent.”
Storad says he watched many episodes of the popular Discovery Channel program “Meerkat Manor” in conducting background research for the book. The book is just one of more than 100 titles in the Early Bird Nature Book series published by the Lerner Publishing Group in Minneapolis, Minn. Storad has written many titles for that series, including four new ones: “Gila Monsters,” “Javelinas,” “Galapagos Tortoises” and “Piranha.”

Meerkat Manor: The Mark Of Zorro -- Males Gone Wild
It's like spring break in Daytona Beach or Cancuun.. Males rove the wild looking for vulnerable females... even if for the moment. I hate that my blog seems to have taken such a wierd sexual turn lately. But, geez.... so has Meerkat Manor. "As teens head off... to hit on the ladies" Stockard Channing says early on. A quintet of males sets out for adventure with Zorro in the lead. As the episode develops, he displays male domiancne like never before seen in the Manor.
Here's Zap2It's take. Antonio Banderas has nothing on our new Don Juan of Meerkat Manor: The Next Generation. Zorro most definitely makes his mark tonight. I swear, if the family-swapping keeps up the torrid pace it has, I’m gonna need to create one hell of a flow chart. ((MORE HERE))
It's like watching a month's worth of 'The Young and the Restless' in just 22 minutes... with the new cast and setting being meerkats in the Kalahari.. I've never seen so much wrangling and romping around... just for the pure sexual pleasure of it all. I wonder what kind of movie rating 'Meerkat' would receive in the theaters!. "It's gettin' wild up in here".....

Meerkat Manor: Trouble For Sophie
As I sat watching the last episode of Meerkat Manor (The Family Way), I'm left to wonder what really drives animals and mankind to be such sexualy beings... even at the great loss of the love of others. Sophie, defying injury, won the support of Rocket Dog... but couldn't resist the temptation of a rover. In short order, she was exiled from the Whiskers... all because she desired the sexual attention of a horny rover. The rover left her (even before any action) and so did her family. Those who loved her turned against her for her apparent lack of caring for the family. What a shame. I've blogged before about how this meerkat docu-drama mirrors human life so much. Sexual temptation and cheating can destroy so much.

A New Tribute To Rocket Dog
Check out this new tribute to Rocket Dog.
Here's the profile of Rocket Dog from Animal Planet.
Flower's death led to a fierce family feud and the breakup of the once mighty Whiskers.
Anarchy reigned as Rocket Dog and sister Maybelline battled it out for the right to wear their late mother's crown. As the new season begins, Rocket Dog has clawed her way to the top of an unruly Whiskers mob. She's ambitious but inexperienced and is struggling to keep her disorderly gang of 33 relatives under control.
Fortunately for her, dear old pop Zaphod has been hanging around to provide support. However, the one thing Rocket Dog needs even more than support... is a man. As dominant female she must start a family soon. And it seems the louder her biological clock ticks, the lower her standards become.

Reference To Meerkats on Huffington Post
There was an interesting reference to 'Meerkat Manor' in a political column on Huffington Post.
Call it whatever you want: arrogance, a jinx -- but let's be honest with ourselves -- this thing is over. I know, I know. "A lot can happen between now and November." I know that we Democrats are used to scurrying around like we're on Meerkat Manor, with a sky full of Neocon hawks overhead. I know that we've perfected the art of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. But can't you feel it in the smog-kissed air? Feel that this year is different? READ MORE HERE.

Plus, WJLA (ABC 7 in Washington) gets into the mix with a column about Meerkat Manor. It looks as though there is a display issue with their story. But I'll add the link here in case they get it fixed.
