"Big Giant Swords"

[xraycer]

See, what you like draws me in but the BS manufactured drama turns me off. It don't matter how cool Alaska is of you ruin it with complete nonsense and interrupt that non sense with commercial breaks. I would watch it if they choose to use it as an documentary style educational show instead of following the reality TV script. It makes no sense in this instance to manufacture drama. It's a BEAUTIFUL countrywhere a lot is happening. Its a good idea to do a show documenting lifestyles that most of us only experience for a weekend or week at a time and they're pretending a track presents danger? Pretending if they don't get this cow to cooperate their entire existent could be doomed? Pretending time is always running out? Pretending they're always on the verge of starving? It's just too over the top all the time. I'd rather flip through national geographic then have you try to fool me

Maybe it's just the narrator I'm annoyed with but regardless, it's annoying to make every episode seem like it's life and danger when nothing happens. You're aware the family in Alaska the last frontier is actually pop singer Jewel's family (her dad)? There's also a city and grocery store a few miles away from their home yet I'm lead to believe if they don't fill the freezer they'll die this winter.. Overkill

Well, no. I remember reading about her living out of an old, beat-up van before she made it big......so, she didn't come from money. Plus, just because she's rich now, it doesn't mean she shared her wealth with them.

Cool fact to know though. I picked up her first CD in the early 90's. I had never heard of her, but liked the music. So, I figured help I support a starving artist. Then a couple of years later, she became a house-hold name.

The show literally only exists because of her Connections but yeah, I suppose it's possible that she's shared no money with her dad and siblings. Doubtful but possible

I saw one that I liked alot. I think it may have been Yukon Men? It didn't seem so played out. I felt the driving issue for their struggle for survival was actually poverty versus a conflict with nature.

They live a way of life that weny by the wayside over a hundred years ago, they trap, fish, and log to get the petty cash they need to buy the things they cant scavenge or make themselves.

I don't do reality shows.

You must not do much tv then. Haha. It's a shame that good scripted television shows and solid documentaries are outnumbered these days.

But who are we kidding? Reality tv is just as fake and scripted as an episode of Dragnet... I can't stand the format my self, but I still watch alot of it.
