WHAT'S THIS I HEAR ABOUT SHAKESPEAR???

As most of my online buddies and regular friends know, I am a devoted fan of The Meercat Family, shown on animal planet every Friday night. It's almost like watching a soap opera, seriously, I am so into those little guys, I know their names, and their story. My favorite is little Shakespear. He's brave, and kind and intelligent. When they went off for the summer, Shakespear was missing because he had been protecting the Meercat babies, Flower's brood. They had been attacked by the Langeli clan (another group of Meerkats). When Flower and the others returned from feeding, the babies were there but Shakespear was missing. The announcer said be sure to tune in again on 9/29 and find out Shakespear's fate. Now we are being told that because this is shot in the wild, there is no interfering by mankind. So if Shakespear is missing, then why tell us to be sure we see what his fate was. The producers of the show say they don't know the answer. Well !!! That sure was a rude awakening. I am so bummed because obviously Shakspear won't be back this season. Boooo Hissss
