The animals may be funny, but the show isn't. The point of this program seems to be to film an animal doing, you know, something that an animal does, like roll around in the dirt and smell things, and dub over it with a very unfunny, often strange commentary. I find myself sitting in front of the TV, listening intently for an eventual punchline and being ultimately disappointed and perplexed. At least Bob Saget's bad jokes made sense.
Additionally I'm convinced that the host is in fact our first undercover android TV personality.
But I still watch it. I'm an animal lover and its only competition at 6am is infomercials and stock market reports.
