I'd like for Dr. Pol and Diane to retire, Charles to go back to L.A., and the show could continue with just the female vets. Oh . . . and they need someone to come in and organize that office!!!!
@AZChristian ITA!!!!
Unfortunately, Charles isn't going anywhere. There's a new show (comes on right after the Incredible Dr. Pol) called "The Incredible Pol Farm".
It's all about Charles, Beth & their kids. They're supposedly "farming" now. I think the house is pretty close to the clinic. Charles purchased three cows, four sheep at the Fair. In the most recent episode, Dr. Pol let his Freisan horses graze in Charles field.
All the episodes I've seen involve Charles "supervising" his brother in-law (Beth's brother) who lives a couple hours away. He conveniently has his own landscaping business but has come to help. His brother in-law lives in a small construction trailer on the property. (Again a side eye- I'm sure Charles or The Pol's have plenty space for him to stay. Michigan summers are very hot & humid, I don't see an A/C, fridge or stove in his "home".
Charles has grandiose ideas (they bought and old barn & deconstructed it). They"ve moved it piece by piecè to Charles place. Again, his brother in-law does all the work Charles watches.
On occasion, Dr. Pol drops by. Usually to let Charles know what he's screwed up. The latest was a sheep shelter. It needed to have a concrete floor & a proper water supply for the sheep; neither which Charles considered. When they had to rebuild it, Charles showed up to " help" wearing bedroom slippers! I'm doubtful that Charles & family live in Michigan full-time (last episode he said Winter was difficult to do projects).
They took one of their goats to see Dr. Pol. There was no trailer, just loaded it into his 325 BMW. At best, this is a hobby farm for them. I've never been a fan of Charles; fortunately, these episodes are only 30 minutes long. Basically it's Charles (and Beth) waxing about memories of working with their parents. Growing up Beth's mom had a huge garden that fed their whole family. Charles had his brother in law build a huge pond w/waterfall (again he didn't help). Charles "helped" by showing bolders he wanted moved from Dr. Pol's house. He "remembered the bolders from his childhood & named them. (Another eye roll) This episode ended with Beth making plans for next seasons garden. Of course, she was having her brother plan it & build raised bed frames for next season.
I've never been a fan of Charles hope he and this show goes away....soon!
