Have You Met The Whiskers Family?

August 3, 2007 by Susan

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

In 2005 Animal Planet introduced America to a different type of reality show called Meerkat Manor. And it’s been a hit ever since. The adorable Whiskers family has made Meerkat Manor one of the fastest growing TV shows on Animal Planet.

Whether you’re yet to meet Flower and the rest of her clan, or you’re a long-time fan, you don’t want to miss their new season starting Friday August 10 at 8:30pm on Animal Planet.

And for some added fun, Animal Planet has offered a prize package for a lucky winner here at “5 Minutes for Mom”.

Simply leave a comment on this post for your chance to win this fun prize package including:

  • An adorable Stuffed Dog
  • Dog Bowl
  • T-Shirt
  • Small Meerkat Stuffed Animal
  • AKC Dog Championship DVD
  • Hat
  • Meerkat Mask

While you’re waiting for the new season to start, you can meet Flower and the rest of the Meerkat Manor stars on MySpace.

Also, you can catch a sneak peek of the new season and watch the premiere episode of Meerkat Manor here. (By the way, I think that premier episode is only available in the US. Also this contest is only open to Americans. Sorry… we Canadians miss out this time.)

We’ll announce our lucky winner on the new season start date, Friday August 10.

    I just found this site, but I want to say MM is my favorite show ever.

    I’m still devastated over the loss of Flower and it will be hard to watch the new episodes without her, but I am so hooked, I need to know what happens to the rest of the Whiskers!

    Glad I’m not the only one who’s crazy about these sweet little guys.

    Living overseas we have already watched this great show. My husband called it the Soap Opera of Dessert Rats. I think he was just upset that I got so wrapped up in the story. It is just a everyday life in their world but it is narrated in a facinating way. I am sure that all you all -my friends in the States – will love this show as it is just inthralling.

    For those lamenting missing meerkat manor because they don’t have cable, they do sell the seasons on DVD.

    I’d recommend renting or watching an episode or two at a friends house first to make sure that it’s for you, but if you like it, you can go to the animal planet website and buy the dvd! You also might want to check if blockbuster/netflix carries them.
