The Alaska Experiment

[Greg]

I only caught the first few minutes of this on Discovery last night, but I think I might fire up the TiVo to record this show.

Might end up being typical corny reality TV or a pretty cool show...

It was decent, not quite as good as The Deadliest Catch which was on just before it last night, and definately not as good as Axe Men

Like Dr. Jeff said, it was OK. NJ was well represented with 3 people, 2 of them from Mahwah, I wonder if they ski Campgaw.

The part that really started to wear on me was how each teams segment always seemed to start Bears. I realize that they're a way of life in Alaska, but if each segment all series long is going to start out this way, I may very well be done with the show after next week's episode.

This past weeks Deadliest Catch episode was really cool IMHO. Some serious wave action going on in that one. Thank god the water on the Hudson River right now is glassy smooth. If it was as rough here as it was in that episode, I'd probably be leaning over the rail of the boat I'm on uke:

Anyone get Discovery HD? We don't; we only get the HD Theatre, but I would love to watch Deadliest in high def.

It's really cool in HD, especially the overhead and chase boat shots of the fleet blasting through the big seas!

The father and daughter team were a joke, looks as though they had a sunday stroll out while the others risked their lives. waaaaahhhh those two girls had 40lb packs, the ladies on the other team had 80+.

 

[Hawkshot99]

Maybe ..but I remember the good old days when they would draft people your age into the army... government needs to bring that back.....

I tried to enlist, but they wouldn't take me because of medical crap......

Yeah I could handle it..as long as the Grizzly Bears kept their distance..

Yeah the fat daughter was bitching about how they only had Salmon and mashed potatoes to eat..boo hoo..I paid 20 bucks for that in a restaurant the other day..lol...

AndyZee would be rocking a 100 pound pack..but he would also be plugging his Mount Washington 2011..trip..;lol

Sometimes I really miss Discovery channel.... But then again, I used to watch too much TV anyway. I find I get a lot more done without it. (Although the internet can be as much of a time-waster... )
