Hazo posted:Is anybody still watching Finding Bigfoot? It keeps getting progressively funnier with each episode as we delve further into what kinds of absolutely crazy poo poo these guys sincerely believe.  . I mean with ammount of intelligence they think the creatures have, are you hunting an ape like a gigantopithecus or are you hunting a Wookie.Also how much money it would take to make a really authentic looking bigfoot costume, and maybe go out into the woods where they film and just throw rocks at them? They'll atleast have something to show and they can feel like their efforts arn't wasted.

FogHelmut posted:Check out Alone in the Wilderness if you've never seen it. This guy retires and decides to build himself a cabin in the middle of nowhere Alaska where he lives on his own for the next 30 years. He filmed his day to day life to send to his family. They edited it all together. PBS plays it about once a year. Apart from catching it on PBS, are there any easy ways to see this? NetFlix doesn't seem to carry it, even on DVD.

Originally it was on Discovery i think but Green airs the reruns of several channels as new programs. I really enjoy the show and hope it gets a second season.

So I see they claim that Mythbusters is signed up for another 3 decades of shows or whatever ridiculous number but does that mean they'll be on a Sopranos schedule now? I guess they have that new show or whatever but drat, feels like they used to put out 6-8 months worth of new episodes a year and I don't even remember when their last one was.

Mythbusters has pretty consistently had a series of fall episodes and spring episodes the past few years, haven't they? April's about the time it should be starting up again.

American Guns I think? The "OMG will this part fit?!? Yes. Of course it will." aspect is still there but I find that show way more enjoyable than Sons of Guns.

Anyone else watching Bering Sea Gold? I've been DVR'ing them on the off chance I ran out of things to watch then yesterday powered through the first six episodes and surprisingly liked it. It's not in any way about how to get gold but is eventful... stabbings, car wrecks, people falling overboard, getting knocked down by equipment, etc.

Yep! The discussion for that has been happening in the Gold Rush thread since they're basically the same show. Idiots on land, idiots on water. Whole lot of broken down poo poo.

I feel kind of ashamed to admit this, but I find myself strangely comforted and engaged by a show on Animal Planet that's just footage of kittens followed by footage of puppies, all narrated by some guy describing what's happening in the footage. There's one hour with kittens followed by an hour with puppies and it comes on at midnight and for about three weeks I've just sat in bed and watched it all. It's like a less structured version of the Puppy Bowl. If there were more than two episodes I think I might starve to death in front of my television. I don't know what's wrong with me. But this show is far better than Bigfoot Hunters.

Bear Grylls has shoved pee up his rear end on TV for the last time on the Discovery Channel.quote:Discovery Channel has terminated its relationship with Bear Grylls, the British television personality and star of the network’s Man Vs. Wild. The severing of the relationship, which began back in 2006 when Man vs. Wild launched on Discovery, comes after the network has allegedly been unable to get Grylls to participate in two unannounced projects he was contracted for, say sources. The sixth season of Man Vs. Wild wrapped in August.

This is kind of topical: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WLG8_dfX9M http://www.tested.com/news/so-whats-happening-with-tested-video/3744/ I haven't watched Mythbusters in forever but they're really cool guys so seeing some other type of content from them could be great!

It would definitely be weird seeing either Will or Norm just hanging out at M5 or even participating in a Mythbusters episode.

They should fire the B team and just use those guys. Actually Will Smith should go with Giant Bomb but oh well.

Thoughts on Adam and Jamie's new show, Unchained Reactions? I hate to get all 'spergy, but that was the worst show I've seen on Discovery in a long time. It was even worse than that Penn and Teller show that was utterly terrible. I weirdly felt bad stopping the show half way through and deleting it from TiVo, given how awesome Adam and Jamie are on Mythbusters. Unchained Reactions was really weirdly narrated, had no entertaining people at all (spoiler alert: Adam and Jamie don't participate at all), didn't bother showing the teams building half their contraptions, and try to instill a terribly awkward sense of drama into the whole thing, and they give the teams neither enough time nor enough materials to make anything genuinely entertaining. In short, it was completely flat. The most entertaining bit was a chair flipping right side up, at least in the part I saw.

I thought it seemed dumb without watching and the idea that Jamie and Adam don't participate dooms it. Reminder that this Sunday should be the start of the new season. I'm jonesing pretty bad for some Mythbusters so I'm probably ready to accept whatever poo poo they throw together and call an episode. Hopefully they manage to find some good stuff here and there like they usually do, I can at least tolerate the Build Team that way.

I don't know what you guys think, but this duct tape special has sort of owned so far. No B team (although I do like them), plus you get to see Jamie try to surf on a board made of duct tape.

smackfu posted:It's yet another take on "get teams to build stuff, then compete against each other". Discovery and TLC have probably done a dozen of them by this point? It's the kind of show that lives or dies based on the casting, but the cast is new every time so it's unworkable. The problem with these shows is always the time constraints. I liked Catch it, Keep It though.

The new episode of Mythbusters was actually pretty fun. I can't believe they actually spent seven hours out on the water in their canoe, that seems pretty crazy.

When I read about Unchained Reactions, I thought they were building something that actually had a purpose, I guess I didn't read it right. I just watched the setup, then DVR skipped to see the Rube Goldberg domino contraptions operate. Meh. I'll probably keep recording it, it only takes like 10 minutes to watch.
