Who does all the "Tough Alaska" shows? Is it THC or Discovery?
Those people start off every fucking sentence by reminding us how tough you have to be to live there. I'm sure it's not always easy, but jeez. |

They picked up a pole with a boom truck to set it. The rigging was all wrong and fastened in the wrong place. They didn't use a tag line, so the ground man is standing right underneath this floundering, out of control load, bitching at the operator for his stupidity. Crap I'd get sent home for, these stooges are doing for an audience!

TV is no longer good for anything but cheap mind bumming entertainment. I miss the days of factual information on "History Channel" and "The Learning Channel". Now it's reality TV about so called surviving in Alaska when they can run down to the grocery store if their fish wheel doesn't do well that year, or gay incestous brothers renovating and flipping properties.

Well, channels have to make money. They weren't making any off the All Hitler Channel. They brought on a gal from A&E (I think) and she did the channel shift to more reality TV because that's the way our society was going. I read about that in the Pawn Stars book.

The oldie-moldys didn't call it the boob tube without good reason. It took me 20 years for it to really sink in but when it finally did I dropped cable and TV in general. It really is a worthless place to spend your time, although the wife unit says she still misses it. She loved some mind numbing screen time.
Too bad so sad.

History should start remaking a bunch of documentaries in 1080p.
I still find episodes of cool History Channel shows on YouTube from time to time that are still in 3:2 aspect ratios that look like shit. |

I can't stand most of the reality TV shows because they are always so over-dramatized, and I have never really watched Ice Road Truckers more than a few seconds before moving on with the remote control.
Ancient Aliens reminds me of the movie "Plan 9 from Outer Space" in that it's only entertaining at all because it's so incredibly bad. When I grow up I want to be an Ancient Alien Theorist so I can sit around on my ass and dream up ways to give credit to every detail of human ingenuity and progress to alien technology. |
