  • Melissa 10/8/07: "A belated appreciation of your show on The Zookeeper's Wife. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the show so much and felt horribly when you were confronted about your music choices. We so respect your quest for equality and reverence to all cultures that it seemed almost comical that you would be criticized for being insensitive. You and your producers are so conscious of each aspect of the show you deserve only praise. Thank you for a wonderful show about how two people can stand up against the immorality of many."
