It reminds me of what it would be like if you gave 10 random Pirate BB members a TV show loosely based upon a "race" in Alaska.

I really hate non-history stuff on The History Channel. That goes right up there with all the "reality" and alien and monster crap on Discovery these days.

It's the ghost-hunter shit that pisses me off the most.

I watched the first episode. Mostly silly. Should be on on Spike or some what ever. I'm sorta tired of channels not living up to their name. A&E, no art, very little entertainment. MTV not much music. History channel, not like it was. TLC, hasn't taught anyone anything in a while. Same for Discovery.

History channel has zero history anymore. Come to think of it pretty much all the history/discovery type channels are now just loaded w reality crap. Swamp Miners, Amazon snake tossing, southern fried jackassery, gem collectors,,,,,,,,,,,, and the list goes on

Plenty of fail in that show. I think that the average Pirate member may be over qualified for that show. The sure do know how to turn a mole hill into a mountain tho.

I don't have time for that crap. I'm busy watching The Curse of Oak Island on the History Channel.

We have been enjoying that show as well. Our 9yr old boy loves it.

I'm a big fan of Gold Rush, Bering Sea Gold, American Pickers, and watch a couple of the Alaskan wilderness/homesteader shows. Have no interest in a bunch of offroading rednecks though. The other shows appeal to basic fantasies of mine of gold/treasure/antique hunting, and country living.

I usually stop watching them when they become too scripted.

They're all starting to lose me. Axe men is really almost beyond watchable now. I gave up on Pickers two years ago. I hope they don't ruin Gold Rush even though I have a hard time watching Todd and his clown crew, especially after last season.

If it weren't for DVR I couldn't watch any of it.

The networks that I'm paying money to watch, are all disappointing me.

I think Discovery played Fast and Loud all effing day? wtf?

They also know how to break stuff.

This thread reminded me: https://www.ar-15.co/threads/143951-Snatch-Strap-Vehicle-Recovery-Questions

Sunday's episode featured a winch with a cut line. The dude actually sat on the hood, right above the winch, and held the bare wires while his brother drove and winched.
JUST like the safety stuff they mention in the manual.

I like how they always talked about blazing their own trail threw the land but yet they are always on well traveled roads. Could they find five older and less maintained crappy rigs to take on the trek. They generally have one obstacle per day that for a decent rig would not even slow them down. The two brothers with the four runner i wouldnt trust to drive across town are kind of funny.

At least Ghost Hunters go into some interesting and historic buildings. Oh wait, that's SyFY Channel isn't it?

Oh, hell yes! With the depth and breadth of human history, THIS crap is what they come up with? But I guess they have to give the public what they want; we are truly doomed as a nation.

Although I enjoy the Pawn Stars, American Pickers, etc. I do agree the shows don't really belong on the History channel. With that said, I wouldn't mind seeing this Alaskan off road warriors, too bad I don't have cable.

I remember when CBS cancelled The Unit. Instead, Kid Nation and EIGHT (8) different flavors of CSI were on the schedule. I forever swore to hate all networks after that.

Anybody notice just how many "Alaska" themed shows there are on the boob box now? Seems like someone is trying to promote that state pretty heavily.....

Gold Rush
Bering Sea Gold
Alaska State Troopers
Alaska-The Last Frontier
Alaska Bush People
Mountain Men
Alaska Off Road Warriors
various Alaska house/property shows
and God knows how many others.....

I've noticed. I think after the crab boat show, people just became interested in Alaska and it is too easy to sell anything Alaska as extra rough and out of the ordinary. It's pathetic. I saw a show the other day on Animal Planet called Mud Lovin' Rednecks. It was about some guys that owned a mudpit.
