Yes! That _is_ a good show. However, pretending to “read” their minds isn’t. If she’d come on, talk with owners about their pets seeming problems; give useful advice, it would be great! No…its a freakin sideshow! My very favorite quote: “your dog is saying he doesn’t like the taste of his medicine.” And…how many dogs LIKE the taste of medicine??:rolleyes: Pretty soon she’ll be teaming up with Uri G, bending dogs leashes or something!😛 ---

\*\*I would happen to disagree with you. I would say that even Pet Psychic would allow many people to “explore their world” and “satisfy their curiousity”. \*\* In heaven’s name, HOW? It’s a fraud! Basically “pet advice”, wrapped up in supernatural discourse to gain ratings! It perpetrates myths, it decieves people, and it decreases the credibility of anything else the channel may air. ---

That is, it “perpetuates myths, it deceives people,…”. My smarmy, condescending contribution. 😃 (And I’m calling Gaudere’s Law on myself - of course there’s an error in this post - there always is when you correct someone else.) ---

My cat thinks that it will now eat you for that, featherlou. Miss Cleo said that. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jeff Olsen \* > \*\*OK, how about this rant: why the hell can’t I find new broadcasts of Discovery, TLC, or AP shows that I actually like? Seems like I’ve seen every single Home Again, funny animal videos, neat stuff, weird homes, et al., ever recorded. Why must they keep airing the same shit over and over and over yet crap like the Pet Psychic get a whole new series? \*\* Especially considering the amount of money they must pull in for airing the Bowflex commercials alone. I personally stopped watching any of those channels due to four minutes of commercials for every eight minutes (or less) of programming on any of their channels. Yes, I timed it… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by trishdish \* > \*\* > > Blast TV Guide and their need for 25 words or fewer descriptions. Don’t let that title fool you. If you were to watch the program, you would see that their is definitely an emphasis on the human element - from people who’ve been stung by killer bees, to genetists explaining the differences between killer bees and regular bees to governmental officers trying to contain the bees. > \*\* Ummm, I did watch the show and while there were a human or 2 in the show, the emphasis was definitely on the bees. Sorry. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-pet-psychic/112483.md?page=2)
