Dog Whisperer online (where now?)

Unfortunately Dog Whisperer has been taken off hulu as of today (9/10/14).  Cesar 911 was taken off a month or two ago (I assume the new episodes will come back after season 2 begins -- hopefully).

Looking at the comments, apparently this also happened in November 2012 and they came back in February 2013.  Hopefully they come back soon.  Or maybe they'll go over to Netflix.  I was thinking this because Netflix recently started carrying The Incredible Dr. Pol.

The Dog Whisperer episodes uploaded to dailymotion (by hulu) have also been deactivated.  As well as the Dog Whisperer episodes uploaded to youtube by natgeowild.

[10/25/14 - actually there's still a few of the NatGeoWild episodes still on youtube.  I count five (Delta and Dong Dong; Peanut, Chico, Leroy Brown, and Tucker; Sadie and Calder; Seven, Sara, and Madeleine, Tillie and Leo)]

Netflix currently has The Very Best of Dog Whisperer, which are 13 selected episodes (2 from season 1, 5 from season 2, 5 from season 3, and 1 from season 4).  But now I notice this is scheduled to expire on 9/22/14.

So what's left?  The unauthorized uploads to youtube (notably by natsmilan), however generally the video quality of these aren't as good as the natgeowild uploads.  Plus no captions.

The first three seasons are carried by amazon.com instant video and itunes at 1.99 an episode.  The ninth season is carried by itunes at 2.99 an episode.

I see My Cat From Hell will expire from Netflix on 10/5/14, as well as Pitbulls and Parolees.  Apparently that's when the Animal Planet series will expire (as well as other channels on the Discovery Communications Network, including the Discovery Channel and TLC).

*** [3/2/15] checking Dog Whisperer episodes on youtube (to test youtube subtitles).  Now taken off are Delta and Dong Dong, Chico & Peanut, Sadie and Calter, Seven.  Well actually they're there, but made private.  The only one left that I can see are Tillie and Leo (titled Tille and Leo on youtube).
