EXCLUSIVE: ANIMAL PLANET TO BOW MICHAEL JACKSON DOCUMENTARY, FOUR ORIGINALS IN JUNE
By The Futon Critic Staff (TFC)
LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- Animal Planet will ramp up its original offerings next month with new seasons of "Whale Wars" and "Monsters Inside Me" as well as the premieres of "Last American Cowboy" and "Last Chance Highway."
"Highway," from executive producer Al Roker, tracks a network of volunteers - led by Shelly Bookwalter and Kyle Peterson - stretching across the South who attempt to find homes for thousands of stray pets. The eight-part series premieres Saturday, June 19 at 8:00/7:00c.
"Last American Cowboy," originally dubbed simply "Cowboys," follows three family-owned and operated ranches through "an entire gorgeous and grueling season, from calving and weaning to cattle drives and auction." The newcomer bows Monday, June 7 at 10:00/9:00c.
Meanwhile, "Whale Wars" kicks off season three on Friday, June 4 at 9:00/8:00c while "Monsters Inside Me" begins off its sophomore run on Wednesday, June 9 at 10:00/9:00c.
Rounding out the month are the specials "Human Spider" and "Human Bird" on Tuesday, June 8 starting at 9:00/8:00c plus the documentary "Michael Jackson and Bubbles the Chimp" on Tuesday, June 22 at 10:00/9:00c. The latter offering will feature unseen footage and stories of Jackson and Bubbles "revealed through those who witnessed their relationship."

I forgot about this! Thanks for bumping!!
Thank you! I will be leaving that morning to go to California. But i'm going to set the dvr. I cant wait to see this, it will give me something to look forward to when i come home from such a emontional week.
Oh my goodness-- I can not wait to watch this!!! How exciting!!! I've wondered about Michael and bubble's relationship for a very long time now, and it'd be very interesting to see how other people, who got to witness their interactions in person, really viewed it.
thank you for posting this. I will set my dvr to record this. Because i will be leaving that day to head to California.

dude! thats awesome! i love bubbles!
Thanks for posting
Look forward to seeing it
Yes, thanks for letting us know about this show; I'll be watching it. I love the pictures of Michael carrying Bubbles around on his hip, and the video clip where Michael's having tea (or perhaps his famous Ricola hot drink) and Bubbles obviously wants a sip. But somehow MJ silently "com- municates" sit down and wait to Bubbles, MJ sips his drink, and then lets Bubbles have at it. This sounds a bit weird, but you can see how much Bubbles loves Michael! But don't we all?!!! L.O.V.E.
Thanks PCR and csluvinu for the related links.
Ooh I wish I got Animal Planet channel! I'm sure that will be an interesting documentary (probably positive and tabloid-free, as PCR said
).
xo
Thanks for posting, Mariaann; I have wanted to learn more of Michael and Bubbles!
I thought of Bubbles when I heard this on the radio the other day,

I am quite curios about this.
It's animal planet.......it should be positive, or at least tabloid-free.
Remember their comments on MJ's passing?

Hope it will be good
Thanks for posting this.
Love having something like this to look forward to.
(Animal planet could do a whole series along this line.... MJ and Muscles.... and that 'attitude' parrot that only liked women.... and how about all his pet mice when he was a kid? I love that photo of him with something like 6 mice all trying to sit on his shoulders at the same time!)
