TV's Greatest Animals Indeed

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This is a splendid Animal Planet documentary. It rarely comes on, but I sure enjoy seeing all the retro toons and commercials, and characters of several eras. TV has some excellent animals, but I do think that the #1 winner Lassie was pretty decent for the winner.

Several other animals made it in as well. The presentation is great, and the best is seeing all the retro stuff. I caught this several times when it was out. I used watch Animal Planet a lot, and I saw this as well.

There were hardly any flaws about this. I enjoyed it all the way through. I give it a 10 out of 10. Note that there was some mild violence in it, so be aware that the littlest of kids don't see it, because Itchy and Scratchy were and example.
