Here it is January 2010 and all of Chimp Eden’s fans are still in the dark about what has happened to this show. Not just the show itself, but in real life, please someone give us even a general explanation as to whether or not the people who wanted to stop the show have won. Has Eugene been forced to abandon his effort??? If so, for what reasons? If specifics cannot be divulged, at least give us the general reasons such as political, legal, some sort of tragedy, etc. Mostly please let us know if all of the people who were on the show are OK and what they are doing now. And, naturally, are the chimps OK? Not knowing is miserable for all of us fans who faithfully watched.
I to want to know what has happened to the show,the show and the people and chimps who did so very much to open the eyes of the world to the suffering that is ocurring to chimps around the world.

I have been looking for anything about Series 2 –I have the DVD for series 1 and LOVE it… I want to know if they are ever going to air again. This show is Great and very enjoyable……FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY …
there’s so much to learn about the sad experiences these talented animals had to go through. We humans can learn so much about the ugliness of this world and find the beauty inspite of the cruelty around us. This show has so much humanity that viewers like me are hoping the network will put it back on air.
LOVE the series and I’ve watched every episode several times. Eugene Philip and staff obviously really care about the chimps. Want to see more!
it is stupid what animal planet has replaced my monkey shows with . things that creep my youngens into night mares . Hillbilly I believe is a derogatory term . I am very proud to be southern born.
What would be the most honest answer for Animal Planet to have not renewed Escape to Chimp Eden or is that absolutely to much to ask for?
Invested a lot of hours and convinced grown adults, children, and many family members to watch just to have it disappear without an answer…..
My heart goes out to Escape To Chimp Eden i’ve been watching this show since 2008 and was hooked from the very beginning.Just to see and be educationed on how bad chimps where being treated broke this animal lovers heart.But to know that there is a place chimps can go means that some people care enough to break this cycle of hurting or keeping these smart animals for pets.Please support Escape To Chimp Eden
it comes on animal planet at 6;30am monday-friday in Richland,Washington and i hope it will never go off the air.I do wish it would come on later and not so early. but if that is what i half to do thats what ill do.
I want Escape to chimp island back . I can not figure out why a great show is not being aired. Everyone wants this planet saved start with the animals. This is a GREAT SHOW !!! I do no that I’m not happy with the Animal Planet . What is with a show about hauntings . Or all day Planet earth. I want to see animals that is why I watch it. Good hope to see it back on again. Thank You Carolyn Kane
Check your local listings. Animal Planet is still showing Chimp Eden. They only film so meny in a season. Right now they are busy filming for the new season. You can go on line to JGI.com or Chimp Eden.com to see more about the chimps and what is happening. They have daily reports posted about how the chimps are doing. You can chat on line with Phillip and some of the handlers about the chimps.
I have discovered that there are 9 facilities in the US that take in an rehabilitate Chimps that are being DISCARDED by the biomedical & entertainment industries. These are chimps that have been used in medical vaccine testing. Some were tortured in the name of medical science. These are chimps that have spent, as much as, 30 years in cages and tested on, poked, proded, & turned in to breeding facories. They have been subjected to diseases, chemical burns, and physical abuses. When they are no longer needed they are caged up, discarded or wherehoused and fed once/twice per week.
If you really want to do something meaningful, Help out. These facilities need volunteers, supplies, and support. They need to be larger. The population of discarded chimps in the US. is in the thousands. I will bet that every product you have in your bathroom was tested on Chimps even your toilet paper. These chimps sacraficed their existance so you can live a more convienent life. Don’t we owe them!
To get the list of Chimp Sanctuaries in the US. Google “Chimp sanctuaries United States”, then click on the humane Society webpage titled: “Volunteers at a Chimp Sacturary”
I still don’t understand why the show is no longer on the air, has the show been cancelled? This was families favorite show, we waited every week till it came on and all of watched it together. I believe we all deserve answers. I myself am disgusted by Animal Planet by not providing any information.
I agree…I woke up early every morning to watch that show and the oragatan island show too (bad spelling lol)..I work till midnight, but still got up early to watch them after only a couple hrs. sleep…..i am mad about the shows being cancled or whatever happened. I was even dealin with the fact that it was all re-runs with the promise of new shows at some point…then poof! they were all gone one morning! i was distrought…even depressed…i got attached to those damn monkees hahaha (i know i know…chimps)..anyone find out since these blogs what happeneed? I’d be interested to know..tks! Shame on animal planet if they cancled them…shame shame… tired of re-run after re-run of i shouldn’t be alive…how stupid..”Animal Planet”..duh show some animals!
I totally agree! Monday through Friday at 3:30 am I watch the reruns. Wish you guys had a text-based website for those of us who use screen readers and can’t follow the live videos. Miss you guys.
Us too. The best show on the network. Why don’t they have the decency to let us know what is happening???
Yes! We all want to know – Whap Happened?? This was the Best show ever aired on Animal Planet and it disappeared with No Warning!
I say, “No Fair” to the chimps, the show and the viewers!
here Suzanne, Maybe you can ask Eugene yourself.

PLEASE BRING THIS SHOW BACK TO TV. I have just recently found it in re-runs and it has become my favorite show EVER!!!!!
I LOVE the humans and the chimps.
Try going to his facebook page. He updates it every so often.
I loved escape to chimp eden. I love everything about it. I always chuckled at cozi. I cried when abu died and geda. You get good educational plus entertainment with this program. I got to the point they felt like family to me and now I can’ t see them. The petition closed is a pity, if I had known sooner I would have signed it.
ANIMAL PLANET BLEW IT
I start each morning with Organutan Island & Escape to Chimp Eden! Two of the Best Programs in the industry of television. Finally defining the best of mankind and our animal kingdom. Cudos to Animal Planet for getting it but let’s not lose it to greed and ignorance. This world needs more of this type education and exposure in order to survive the negativity and hatred that is growing. Please keep them both!
i had no idea this was an ongoing issue i started watching approx. 7 mos. ago and quickly became a fan! This show as another post said really brightens and makes my day better as these chimps have become a part of my life. I really hope it is not as it seems and has not been cancelled for future seasons. I tivo this show as i’m afraid somehow i will miss an episode that is not on at 6:30 am, and it used to be on 5 days a week till just here in the past few weeks now its on 2 mornings i believe, if this is a money issue for mr. cussons or a contract issue with animal planet, maybe an advertised live viewer forum may offer new perspectives and help?!? the convicts and pitbulls recv’d help certainly the chimpanzees are worthy of this too, just a book on my thoughts..and a prayer for new episodes.
come on please dont take this program away from us after all the work they day who else will try and save the poor things,they dont deserve to be treated this way i have watch this programme for ages and to me they do feel like family i use to watch them at 2.30am and 6am when i carnt sleep because of severe pain i carnt get out much so this program use to make my day so please dont do this to us big monkey fans we need to nw if the staff and cozi sally ect are all doing ok and eugene and his family i feel so sad for him after all he has done please eugene could you email me and let me now how you all are doing thank you
The show is not returning as far as I know. Eugene has facebook page that I follow. He posted the information that ETCI will not be returning to TV at least this year.
2/3/11 I faithfully watched this show …I, too, feel the fans are owed some update regarding the people and chimps. To invested time and emotion into both, and be left in the dark, is really a poor “response.”
I just recently began to watch Orangutan Island and Escape to Chimp Eden. They are on here – in the middle of the night on Animal Planet. I love both shows. Very much. I miss them on the weekends when there is no show. I sure hope they do not stop showing these programs. I love Chimps especially Cozi!
i agreeeeee
i started watching late
but fell in love with it all, cant stop watching reruns, bring back please
cant at least one tv station make us happy
marge
Still after all of these emails and no explaination why the show is gone.
I love this show and Eugene and the Chimps. I whish there were updates on their progress and how close to is Eugene to setting any chimps free.
I make it a point to be up by 5am so I can watch Orangutan Island and Chimp Eden. Is there any hope these shows will be returning?
I love the show. If they took it off for another show thats stupid. There are many people who love the show! Bring it back Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANimal Plant blew it. I lov ed this show. I rarely watch AP anymore.
what happened to chimp eden.
That is the only show I was forward to watching.
Every morning I got up early before work to watch this show.
I want to know if the show is coming back.
I miss it.
Please, bring it back
Where did you go? I have been recovering from severe depression and depend on chimp Eden and orangatan island to get out of bed. I’m sure that I am not the only one.
I don’t understand how*dull* Merkat mannor could stay on for so long and not chimp eden. Chimp eden was a fantastic enlightening show and like the rest of you grew attached, the show made me cry, laugh all sorts of emotions, please bring it back!!
WHAT HAPPENDED TO CHIMP EDEN. EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME, OUR WHOLE FAMILY MISSES IT:(
Awe….I’m so sad. It looks like Escape to Chimp Eden must be cancelled. I just started watching it on Netflix and I’m hooked. I started searching the internet to find out how many seasons there are…and all I’m finding are people begging that Animal Planet brings it back on.
It’s sad that a show this positive get’s cut when we have so much garbage on TV now days. I guess we only give the people what they demand right?
It is so sad that two of the best programs on Animal Planet is no longer being shown Escape to Chimp Island and Orgatang(sp) Island I do hope there will be a change in programming and both shows will again be seen-Ann
I have a really good idea take those stupid hillbillies off the air the snake loving preacher and give us the chimps for that hour. Because those shows are non educational and down rite stupid. Please do you think the americans are stupid and want to watch stupid stuff like that i dont. i want to watch escape to chimp eden PLEASE.

Please animal planet you need to bring escape to chimp eden back
and take some of the other shows off that no one likes to watch.
Chimp Eden was the best animal show on t.v
Thanks for providing some easy to digest kind of information about this issue, I have been searching all over the web this kind of information.
I HAVE WATCHED ESCAPE TO CHIMP EDEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN, SAME EPISODES. I LOVE IT. I KNOW THEM BY HEART, BUT WHERE ARE YOU AND THE CHIMPS ESPECIALLY THE CHIMPS? I AM SOOO SAD ITS NOT ON ANYMORE. I AM DISABLED AND I LOVE ANIMAL PLANET, BUT I LOVE THE CHINMPS THE MOST. YOU LEFT US ALL IN THE DARK. WHAT GIVES? WE NEED ANSWERS PLEASE. THANK YOU
come back to us. please
Great Show! It arouses so much discussion. I will blog this post no my site and leave a link to this post. Hope you not mind. Thank you
my wife love this eugene too for what he does
I WILL NOT TURN THE ANIMAL PLANET BACK ON TILL THEY BRING BCK CHIMP EDEN THIS WAS THE BEST FAMILY SHOW ON AIR. AND NOW NOTHIN BUT CRAP ON. I WILL DO MY BEST 2 BOYCOT THIS NETWORK TILL THEY GET A CLUE AND BRING THE BEST SHOW IVE EVER SEEN BCK ON THE AIR..
watching reruns. i save them on dvr. wish it was still on the air with new shows. its very educating and eugene is a doll.
Escape to Chimp Eden without question is one of the best shows I have seen on
Animal Planet–I continue to watch the re-runs but do wish we could go to a new series on the Chimp Eden shows–I would love to know how the chimps and human type people are doing–it is without a doubt one of the most informative programs that can be enjoyed by people from toddler to Gramma’s like me—please please can’t a sponser for this show be found—–Ann
I can not believe such a great show is not still running!!!! What is wrong with Animal Planet? Escape was such an educating show, I still enjoy watching the reruns!! Please bring this show back! How could anyone in their right mind want to watch Hillbilly Handfishing over a wonderful, informative “real” show like Escape to Chimp Eden? Please reconsider bringing the show back or atleast do a special update show on the chimp’s we all fell in love with! Thank You!!!!
I was just watching the re-runs on Chimp Eden when a commercial came on for Hillbilly Handfishing—I thought the same thing- while the people who do this seem to be enjoying it-I prefer to see things that are informative and at the same time just plain fun to watch–come on Animal Planet at least do as a prior person has said–at least do an update so we can get caught up with what is going on at Chimp Eden——if you do :I will do the “dishes” for five years–is it a deal?
Please please bring chimp Eden back! I just now started watching, LOVE it & know if properly advertised it would be a hit! I’d never heard of it until recently & I watch alot of animal planet so not enough people got the chance to fall in love w/ them!
I am as curious as the other viewers. Sme people may look at this as just another reality show but to me its a history lesson and just as important as the news going on in the rest of the world. Watching the different shows on Animal Planet made me aware of how the extinction of just one species can effect the whole ecosystem of out planet. Who would think that one little ant that you really never see could change the way our whole world works if they are extinct. I have also learned that the chimps shown onthis show are no different from us when it comes to feelings like stress and trauma. I didnt know that they were killed for bushmeat. Anyone tha eats primates should put themselves on the list as a cannibal and anybody that thinks its fashionable to have a large gorilla hand as an ashtray should let me cut their hand off and debut it as an ashtray at my next get together. I hope Eugene and and family, including his staff and father, are all doing well
I would also love to know what happened to the show!!!!! I live in Texas and have never seen anything such as the animals in africa. I would give my right arm, wait I’m right handed, I’ve give my left arm if I could ever be so honored to visit such a place and hold a baby chimp!!!! My husband would never fork the dough for me to do such an awesome, once in a life time trip, maybe I will win the lottery, right!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed and eugene and phillip and the rest, my hats off to ya’ll <————that texas accent. May God continue to bless and protect you all!! Shelli lucas
I so agree with you about visiting Chimp Eden–if I had not retired I would be saving up like crazy to visit—-it would be worth the thousands it would have cost—so I continue to watch the reruns–sure hope it comes back on with at least updates–Bless Cuzzons and all who are so dedicated to chimp preservation! Ann
I like the show, but I think the trainer is an idiot for letting zack abuse the other chimps. The trainer tries to explain it’s normal for dominance, but also admits zack takes it too far – Of course zack takes it too far, the trainer found him chained up for 17 years old addicted to cigarettes and alcohol – and probably abused as well – So what the trainer’s doesn’t realize, that sort of abuse will obviously be passed down and projected onto the very young chimps. This guys exploits the chimps too for money he gets for having them on the show. Zac should be put to sleep (he’s mentally unstable and violent). Would love to put the trainer in their with zack to get his head beaten on, to see how it feels – maybe then he would stop letting zack abuse the other baby chimps. All the trainer knows how to say is “calm down”…duh.
Let me not criticize my neighbor until I have the full story–the staff are hardly “trainers” Perhaps I’m wrong but I believe that the intent is to let them develop back to “wild” chimps as much as possible plus they come in under the Jane Goodall foundation and I’m sure they are monitored by the foundation-still enjoying the re-runs=Ann T
I LOVE your show SO MUCH!!!! I have watched for many months & reruns are all I have. Just now checking out your website, hope to find updates on the chimps for whom I’ve grown so fond. God BLESS you all, & I am so glad you shared with us what you are doing via tv I am SO in love with you all I am in love with all of you, & know most of you by name
please bring them back! at least give us an up date. As you can see we all love them. thank you juli Heering@yahoo.com
Again I say—Please please bring back chimps—-still watching and noticed that it looks like there are snippets of different film—my offer still stands to do dishes if you bring the program back=Ann
MY HUSBAND AND I WATCH ESCAPE TO CHIMP EDEN EVERY MORNING BEFORE GOING TO WORK. WE’VE SEEN EACH SHOW SEVERAL TIMES NOW. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO BRING SOME NEW SHOW SO WE CAN SEE HOW COZY AND THE GANG IS DOING. IT’S SO GOOD TO SEE PEOPLE CARING ENOUGH TO CARE FOR THEM AFTER THE WAY THEY WERE LIVING.
Why can’t I even find the DVD’s to purchase??
I wrote to AP over a year ago asking to buy them and they told me they had no plans to release them. WTF??
Moved back to Australia and without cable can’t watch the re-runs- I would over and over, miss the show, wish it would continue…
Kam go to eugene’s facebook page and you wil find all the info that you need. and you can even ask your questions there. its a fanpage but run by eugene himself
greets kitty
Looks to me AP is joining the ranks of the other networks… Creating so-called reality TV instead staying on track of teaching & being informative concerning all the earths creatures, and the important role they play in the earths environment.. I find AP plastering photo’s, comments, TV schedules, etc., on the Animal Planet website almost insulting to viewers intelligence.. By promoting 2 much loved cancelled (a year ago!!) programs such as Escape To Chimp Eden & Orangutan Island, only to feature “old news”seems like a bait & switch tactic only to expose their “reality made” newer shows.. Not to mention encouraging/luring loyal fans to the AP website via search engines (when we do a search for ETCE & OI) for keeping/adding popularity to their website hits… Why else would a network continue to promote shows that were looong ago cancelled, with no hopes for the shows return??
I whole heartily agree with you on your opinions–their programs has gone the way of entertaining and informational programming-is it all for the sake or ratings? Ann
I agree with both you Paula and Ann. For that reason I’m boycotting AP until they get back to the programming of shows about animals instead of the people who want to just make a quick buck for their stupid ideas that involve animals. Like Turtle Man.
Pam
FYI I wrote to Animal Planet voicing the same objections as most of you. See below for a copy of their reply.
Jan 19, 2010
Dear Viewer,
Thank you for contacting Animal Planet and for your interest in Escape To
Chimp Eden. Currently, there are no plans for a season three of Escape To
Chimp Eden.
At Animal Planet we are extremely proud to have brought a hero such as
Eugene Cussons and the work he does on behalf of chimps to a larger world
audience. We are extremely committed to Eugene and the chimps in addition
to Dr. Jane Goodall with whom we have worked for many years to raise
awareness of the plight of not only chimps but other primates.
As a television network, we aim to enlighten, inform and entertain our
audience and connect them to the animal world in a deep and meaningful way.
We feel we were able to accomplish that with two seasons of Escape To Chimp
Eden and hope to find other avenues to continue to feature chimpanzees and
the heroic work being done to save them around the world.
We wish all our viewers were as passionate and dedicated to our programming
as you are and hope that you will continue to find Animal Planet
programming enriching and meaningful.
Sincerely,
Viewer Relations
Animal Planet

About all I see on Animal Planet, Discovery, TLC are reality shows about stupid humans, gives new meaning to ‘The Learning Channel’. Pretty pathetic. They could at least do yearly updates for the fans. I also would like to know what has happened to the Orangutans from Orangutan Island. The fans are just left hanging.
Thanks for the forum to vent!
we want our eugene and chimps back as well as the orangutans whats up with this getting us educated and growing to love them all then yall leave us all hanging whats up with that bring them back please
I also was very much into Chimp Eden and wish it was still being made. I have not watched animal planet once since they stopped the show with no details on why? I also spread the word around to as many people as possible not to watch animal planet anymore. I burned all shows of Chimp Eden on disk so when I watch them they dont get any credit for the ratings on their early morning re-runs. I’ve even told families that I know that children watch animal planet that animal planet abuses animals and to boycott them and it has been working. They are ratings whores and all of their current programming is total garbage. Eugene you are a good dude and may God bless you. I really miss old Jao, he was my favorite Chimp, I hope he and all of the Chimps are in great health.
I seen what happened yesterday on a rerun Ugene was talking to a camera guy who was rolling ,and he said kinda laughing ya know i need a day job ,sometimes i wonder how long my luck is gonna hold out .in reference to a rescue he just finished . rescue of a chimp that is scared and crazy angery,how long befor he gets bit in the neck and leaves planet EARTH. Eugene is doing whatever it is he wants probly being married w children .
its really amazing how much work this Cussons guy puts into saving these chimps God bless him for caring as much as he does
I’m curious too. I’ve watched this show religiously over the last 12 months. It’s February 2012. What has happened at Chimp Eden? Have the chimps already housed there been rehabilitated and taken to other (original?) sites?
I admire Eugene and his family’s efforts to re-habilitate the chimps into the wild. Where are they now and what are their prospects as far as re-establishing breeding groups to grow their numbers?
Thank you for your information.
If you go to – http://www.chimpeden.com you can read observation notes on the daily activities at Chimp Eden, there is also a question section, blog, etc. There is a facebook page updated daily. Vimeo has some short vidios. Eugene is conspicuously missing from any of these (run by Philip Cronke and his son Marc) and any questions about Eugene are ignored. Jessica is not there anymore either. You all need to remember that the last episode was filmed in 2007 so the chimps are much older now !
I too have watched the episodes over and over. I don’t understand what has happened and no new episodes are airing. I can’t believe the junk that is being shown on the animal planet now. This show, with Eugene and Philip, is so enlightining and entertaining. It has been replaced with JUNK JUNK JUNK. Please won’t somebody bring back this show.
you need to bring the show BACK. The shows that are onthe animal planet most insult human intelligence. Eugene showed that he really cared for the chimps and we would like to see him and the show back on
We have become avid vieweres of Chip Eden re-runs each weekday morning at 6:30 AM EST. We record every single episode and watch them all. It is by far one of the most facinating and enjoyable programs on AP. The plight of the Chimps and the efforts of Eugene, Jane Goodall and all involved is inspiratinal. You say your comitted but then why new episodes in the works? We assume the show uses the money from the sponsors to help offset some of the costs and overhead in taking care of the Chimps. If nothing else by bringing awareness. By not airing the show in prime time or developing new episodes, how do you feel you are continuing to help the plight of the Chmps and the Jane Goodall Institute Chip Eden? W feel if you were truly commited you would air the show during prime time instead of 6:30 AM. We disovered the show by accident. We are avid viewers of AP and always to check to see what is airing. Alot of the shows are rediculous. Chip Eden is educational and highlights a very good cause about an endagered species, Do you actually think Turtleman of Search For BigFoot are educatioanl or helpful to our planet? What are they going to do when they find Bigfoot? Ask for an autograph? How insulting to our intelligence to even have such shows. PLease look into bring the show back with new episodes. It is so wonderful, interesting, enlightening and heartfelt. Please!
Respectfully to all who post here, write to the networks or sponsors, not only on a blog they will never see. I see many posts here that are well written by obviously intelligent, articulate people. Send these where they will do some good (they can be emailed), I did! If they got more feedback and people would stop watching the garbage they put on, maybe they would go back to the programing they used to have. The “reality” shows they put on are evidently cheap to produce and people watch them, why I cannot imagine. Animal Planet, The Discovery Channel and TLC are all from the same network umbrella. Demand better programming, after all we are paying for it one way or another.
I had no idea that so many people like myself loved A Planets Chimp Eden. Eugene and Philip draw you into each episode and you begin to really care and want to watch out for all of the chimps. Please bring back this show.
i am a kid who is 12 years old i get up at 6 in the morning to watch it and im very mad that it is not on the air ive seen all the episodes
Nice work Eugene, you know the bushmeat 1aam

Carl Olsen
Please Bring Back this Show! This is the reason a channel like yours exists. If not you, then….who??
I have watched Chimp Eden since its first airing on Animal Planet… was so disappointed when it was taken off. I have just recently started to watch the reruns showing at 5:30 am central in the Chicago area. I Love this show it brings such awareness to the world of the horrible treatment of Chimpanzees. I think AP needs to bring this show back, some of the programing that is now airing on AP has ZERO VALUE and is a joke! Please bring Chimp
Eden BACK!!! Or at the very least a special once in a while would be nice, we need to know whats going on at Chimp Eden… I tape it now and watch it with my Grandchildren and they love it. It brings such a awarness to what is going on in the world and the cruelty to the Animals that we share this planet with!!!
