What ever happened to part II? It used to be up on thr channel.

I wondered the same thing. I can't find it anywhere...

@jackofnone9439 Same here. They used to have it up, and I'd watch them back to back. They were so relaxing to watch.

@@furrynation2117 Our whole family would gather around the TV Saturday evenings when this show came on...we never missed an episode. Boy are those days long gone. Now we have reality show marathons, or some other silly crap.

@@jackofnone9439 I grew up when Animal Planet, the Discovery, and History Channels still were about animals, the world and actual history. I was in my teens when I saw all three degrade into their current state of Ancient Aliens, mocumentaries, and freaking tree house masters. WHY IS a show abut TREE HOUSES on ANIMAL PLANET??
