larry@stinescorner · Jan 10, 2015

did you ever watch more than 10 minutes of Alaskan bush people?????Its on the discovery channel right now if you want to try!

tried last night after Gold Rush, don't think I lasted 5 minutes, switched to the pickers instead. Gold Rush is getting hard to watch too without Dakota Fred.

The wife had it on yesterday. Their New York accent gives them away as frauds.

Nope, my direct tv box quit, I'm waiting for a new one,,so I'm
watching DVDs of the dukes of hazzard ! Lol, more real than
that nonsense!

These shows would be a lot better if they would
quit showing the same material five times per show
before commercial show a secene after commercial
show the same scene again and any time a mouse
farts make into the biggest catastrophe that ever
happens but then magically they pull through

I'm sick and tired of that bit about a guy building a floating dock being shown over and over.

That's the same way we build a floating dock down here in the lower 48, too. In fact, I built one like that 50 years ago in North Carolina, so maybe the technology just got to Alaska.

No satellite here, but I can assure you I wouldn't watch anything with the word "Reality" in the title. The few glimpses I've seen of that stuff looked phony to me.

vscummins · Jan 10, 2015

I'm interested to see if he ever gets that thing going again ? But yes they've showed the same 3 scenes for the last 3 weeks .

The Curse of Oak Island started out promising.

They got cameras and went straight for the bottom of the hole. then some phony baloney about them loosing the camera footage and it must be the curse.

I quit watching it, and just read online reviews to see if they did find something, then, if they do, I watch just that bit. Seems each episode is 5 minutes of new material, and 55 minutes of commercials and recycled clips from previous shows. They act as if the viewer forgot what they saw 5 minutes ago, so they feel the need to reshow it.

Mike Wolf is a class act. I got a T shirt from the shop, and my buddy got autographs. I just wish he would buy some of those tractor signs he passes by. I'd pay his mark-up to have some of that stuff.

Pretty sick isnt it where do they get their money as nobody has a job. The producers must think we are realy dumb as just where does the money come from.

It's all scripted. That's why Mike Rowe is now on
CNN. Every one else he talked to wanted a script.
They agreed to winging it, which is how they did
every Dirty Jobs episode.

Cant do it. Id rather stick a needle in my eye.

D beatty · Jan 11, 2015

I said the same thing where do they get the money . They have some nice rifles and shotguns. Some of the thing they do makes you wonder if they are playing with a full deck.

According to wiki he has a couple books published, so I'm sure he gets a royalty check, plus I'm sure there is some sort of compensation from the show.

Also toward the end of some shows. Commercials, then a few seconds of the show, then more commercials. DVR gets used though, nice not having to watch the commercials anymore, or skipping parts of the show that are stupid. I hate fake reality, but I still like most of Gold Rush, at least you can see they are actually "doing stuff".

Reruns of Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters, Nova or American Experience are more interesting and entertaining for me.

(quoted from post at 23:53:08 01/11/15) Reruns of Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters, Nova or American Experience are more interesting and entertaining for me.

Mythbusters fired Kari Grant and Tori because they were more popular than the original hosts.

That show is doomed now, and I hate them all for it.

I don't think the accent is NY. Sounds more like Mass or NH to me. But then, I only watched 2 minutes of one episode and some commercials.
