pretty crazy these days how many reality shows are shot in alaska, or are about alaska

i love it and hate it.

love it cuz i miss living there sooo bad, and hate it cuz i don't really want ppl to decide to move there.....( we are going back in a cpl years)

but there are a ton of shows on AK these days...wtf

its just how tv works... one thing gets big and then everything explodes they milk it to death till all the shows die and move on to the next one....

started with king crab then ice road then blah blah blah

does the same all around all tv does is copy eachother over an over... its mindless trash if you ask me... im not a big tv guy and i do enjoy some thing but if you have time to sit aroudn and watch someone drive a fucking truck then you need to prioritize your life.... that may be alittle harsh but its just every trying to suck at the tit of something that succeeded once....

yeah pretty much trying to be the "next dealiest catch"

No, I've wanted to go to Alaska since Johnny Hortons 'North, to Alaska'.

You are right, though...WTF?? Do I really need to see state Leo's? I must confess, however, that I do watch 'Gold Rush, Alaska'....Writers can't write any more. No new ideas, just the same soup, just warmed up. That's why Canada's Trailer Park Boys was so successful...It was a fresh idea. 90% of TV is crap.

RudolfTheRed · 01-30-2011, 06:48 AM

ice road truckers (seasons 3 and 4 are in alaska)
the alaska experiment
gold rush alaska
deadliest catch (the best show by far. )
sarah palins alaska (i refuse to watch this one)
flying wild alaska
alaska state troopers
ax men (logging suemez island in alaska)
expedition alaska
alaskas fishing wars

that is all i can name now. there have been specials, and other fishing shows taking place in alaska... can't think of the names right now

kind of pissed about the bush pilot show. ive wanted to be an Alaskan bush pilot since i was a kid, and when deadliest catch came out i thought a show about Alaskan bush pilots would be awesome. its a VERY dangerous job. just didn't really have the knowledge/resources to pitch a bush pilot show to a company like discovery. oh well.

I've been trying to talk the wife into moving to AK for years and these shows only help show her the landscape and whats up. Im forbidden to get a fishing job though.

I dont watch Sarah Palins waste of time, but I like most of the rest.
