Trotsky1940 posted:I just picked up the Survivorman DVD at Wal-Mart, I agree with the above; Les Stroud is the man. He does everything himself, nothing super dangerous but you can tell he's busting his rear end to both film and survive at the same time. Agreed. When does the next season of THAT start anyway? ...there is gonna be a next season, right?

Has anyone else been seeing the ads for that new Colony show? It looks like someone was playing Fallout 3 and then decided to make a reality show out of it. ...so yeah, I'm watching for at least three episodes.

IIRC Tori's a master set builder, and Kari's... well, Kari smiles a lot and had that magazine spread! And you have no idea how much geek cred Grant has. Fucker was at the controls for R2D2 in the prequels.

The monkey farm WAS a shark week episode, they had to find something in a hurry after their boat booking fell through. Only time I've seen the entire crew running for their lives.

Irish Taxi Driver posted:I think that's the shows ticket to being interesting and cool, if they focus on a different disaster each season. Terminators, Zombies, I Am Legend, loving go for it. Why does the apocalypse always have to be a mutant virus that just kills people? Season 7: Rabid Jackals. Season 8: Airhorns. 24 hours a day. Season 9: The cold, hard vacuum of space (brought to you by Virgin Galactic!) Season 10: gently caress it, just leave them in a random slum in Brazil.

BigHead posted:Discovery (or maybe TNT?) had a whole show dedicated to this concept, except real guns and real demolition derbies. Like battlebots with cars, or Twisted Metal. Surprisingly, it sucked huge balls and they cancelled it immediately. That was one of the biggest failures in terms of awesome-expectation-to-utter-disappointment ratios. I actually remember that. It was Full Metal Challenge on TLC, and had motherfucking Henry Rollins hosting it (along with the blond lady from Junkyard Wars/Scrapheap Challenge).

Farbtoner posted:This. I got bored of Battlebots pretty quickly because it was just differently-sized wedges running into each other over and over, all the cool crazy robots got weeded out too quickly. There was that one spinning wire-frame pyramid bot with the hammers that seemed to dominate for two or three seasons. God I loved that one. Then there was Biohazard, which was drat near undefeated due to the unprecedented innovation of a self-righting mechanism (that every last bot on Robot Wars had, but whatever).
