Have You Ever Watched a TV Show for the Animals?

I definitely know I notice pets in films, but I think I've got good recall for pets on sitcoms or reality shows, too – many times that's what keeps me tuning in week after week. Have you ever watched a TV show more for the animals than the two-legged stars? I definitely tuned into Frasier for Eddie more than the actual plotline, and I remember when the show was on (and "Moose" was still alive), he got more fan mail than anyone else on the show. After you answer this poll, don't forget to share your fave animal TV stars with me as well!

Thinking up all those pets from classic TV got me wondering if I could possibly name a fave of all time. I thought I'd open it up to all of you who had such great ideas for movie star pets – do you simply adore any animals from TV, past or present? Be it reality stars or simply Tom&Jerry, as long as the pet played a major, recurring role in the show, that's fair game. The more the merrier, let me hear 'em in those comments below!

Hi, Nigel! Meet Ashanti's Furry Costar From The Wiz

Some pups are born into famous families - like Moose's son, Enzo, both of whom played Eddie on Frasier. Others are discovered, including Papi from Beverly Hills Chihuahua and Nigel, Ashanti's costar in the latest Broadway production of The Wiz.
Abandoned on the streets of Arkansas, Nigel found a temporary home at the Northeast Arkansas Humane Society before he was "discovered" on its website. Acclaimed animal trainer Bill Berloni said:

Nigel's headshot called out to me. After thirty years of rescuing dogs for Broadway shows which began with Sandy (who shot to stardom in the original production of Annie), I know talent when I see it. After speaking to the shelter about his personality I knew he had star potential. I predict a great future for him. He is as smart as Sandy with the right amount of Bruiser (from Legally Blonde).

The two attended the aptly named "There's No Place Like Home" dog adoption day over the weekend in NYC, and their play opens June 12. Check out more pictures below.
