The A-List is a 14 episode reality television series directed by David P. Levin for Animal Planet. Every episode classifies animals into categories for which they are known best. It was shown on Animal Planet from 2007âÂÂ2008. Each episode of the series has a celebrity or comedian guest star who is tangentially related to the premise of the episode (Such as Gloria Gaynor, singer of I Will Survive, appearing in the episode 'Survivors') to narrate while footage of each animal in the ranking is played.
