I love it!! And that’s how we do it in the boogie down Bronx. ---

Yes, we saw all of last season and were happy to see it renewed. We really enjoy it. ---

Yes, love it. I really appreciate the way many zoos have stepped up in terms of wildlife preservation and it seems from the show that the Bronx Zoo takes that seriously as their mission. ---

That’s how we do things in the Boogie Down Bronx. As a girl born and raised in The Bronx, I feel nothing but pride when I watch this show. The only thing wrong with it is that [this song](https://youtu.be/6xKLBne1CoI) isn’t the theme song. ---

I love Animal Planet, and I love the Zoo. When the leopard was euthanized I cried like a baby. All the Zoo workers were soooo sad too. Heart wrenching. ---

I follow so closely that I got an alert when Mert recently passed and my heart went out to Mel. “Mert thinks he’s a person, Mel thinks she’s a goose. . .” ---

Watching and enjoying. It seems, however, that there are only a few episodes that get shown over and over and over. Very sad to hear about Mert. ---

Yes, we had recorded last night’s episode which we thought was a new one, but when we sat down to watch it, it was a rerun we’d already seen. ---

There are only 8 episodes of season one and, so far, only three episodes this season. ---

I love this show. It makes me want to work at a zoo. I am in amazement when watching every episode that the zoo is in The Bronx! That there are 265 acres of such beautiful land in the middle of such a busy city. I had never heard of it before. New episodes come on every Saturday evening. They usually show the previous week’s episode before the new one. I have my DVR set to automatically record it.
