Enjoy show! However, when you GIVE the treatment or even semi-subsidize the treatment, you should ALWAYS sign the recipient up to work in the Thrift Store or where needed, or to help unload the large donation 'boxes'. And NOT just for 1 day, but a true commitment for saving their pet. Only seems logical & appropriate. They get so much and are contributing Nothing!

Danielle, I hope w/ the addition of 'help' to your household U will start to recognize and appreciate just how much your husband does for U. EVERYTHING he ever suggests or plans, U immediately turn into a negative. It always works out, but U've put a downer on what he's tried to do to help the whole family. EVERY single time!!!! It's surprising that he continues to do things w/ and for U. Please start supporting his ideas for once! Give him some credit for ALL that he does.

The show itself is just fine, but all the music & sounds playing OVER the audio is just so distracting. Please eliminate all this UNnecessary noise! Since this is happening on many shows now, someone definitely needs to be fired. Why would you think playing loud noises & music in competition to the hosts speaking is a wise move? It's always louder than the voices and very startling. Why can't U just have very quiet background music occasionally, only to make a point, as it used to be. NOT blasting away every minute of the whole show. P L E A S E !!!!!

I tried to watch S1 Ep1, but all I could hear were noises, sounds and music that completely drowned out the voices of all the cast. Whoever decided that this racket should surpass the volume of the speakers must be fired! We keep turning it up to try to hear what is being saying, but all we do is make the noises louder. There is a constant 'thrumming' going on through-out the whole show that is extremely annoying, then between conversations suddenly there is a thunderous gong, clang, bang, tinkle, thump, whoosh or thud that is very startling. These used to be background sounds, now it's front and center. Everyone is going to have damaged hearing in the future from all this racket. It's very unpleasant! Stop, stop, stop!

Nancy, you are so dramatic and in your face all the time, that I can't believe that you would want the music, thumps, bangs, trills, clatters, tinkles and drum beats overshadowing your voice. Why are you allowing this, which simply drowns out your voice with all this racket and extremely irritating sound??? There's like a 'thunder' going on throughout the whole show drowning out your voice. For some reason many shows are now being dubbed with all this background NOISE obliterating the hosts or guests voices. Please STOP!!!!!

Why do you have music, sounds and drum beats going on when your speakers and hosts are trying to help us understand the theme of your show?? It's so very distracting and absolutely unnecessary. Please, please resolve this problem and eliminate ALL noise while people are speaking.

Chip, love the haircut!!!!!! I no longer look @ U and think U R intoxicated. Now we just have to get Joanna into some clothes w/o holes in them.

Adam, regarding your dustpan & brush segment, @ my age, I ONLY use a long handled dustpan and a smallish broom also w/ a long handle. The dustpan comes w/ the rubber edging, and the broom fits the dustpan exactly. At the time of purchase the dustpan was $1 and the broom was $1.50. I give them to friends @ Xmas time who R around my age because they probably will also love not having to bend down to pick up particles off the floor (cat litter & food @ my house!). Wudn't trade them for anything!!

I too am offended every time families release balloons on 'The First 48'. Do these people not realize they R killing so many animals by doing this? They poor things suffer a terrible death after eating the balloons. Why do U think it's OK to kill something else because U lost a family member? So NOT rite!!!! Also please, please hire a new SOUND EDITOR! All the noises, crashes, tinkles, beeps, bangs, bongs, and music constantly played OVER the voices is utterly ridiculous & so distracting. Some of 'The First 48' shows I must turn off due to all the unnecessary noises competing w/ the speech (and usually winning!!). Obviously your Sound Editors have never been schooled in how & where to dub-in inconspicuous hi-lites!!! PLEASE hire trained dubbers!!!!!!!!!!

Why do U insist upon having strange loud noises and music constantly playing while the people R speaking? These things R supposed to be in the BACKGROUND not up front LOUDER than the voices. Please, please correct this terrible editing and sound production. So often I'm just not able to continue trying to hear the voices, so just turn this program off.
