Those of you with Netflix need to cue this up.

It's streaming and well worth the hour!

I've been watching some of "Wilfred" when I can. I recommend catching some of it too. The dog/human is pretty damn funny.

Just finished catching up on Ax Men for this season. Finished Moonshiners last week. Not a bad show, fake as hell, but entertaining. The addition of Popcorn Sutton was nice. Thought about buying his book a couple of years back. I should have then, but didn't really have that much interest in it. I had seen him on a couple of history Channel specials. I think "Hillbilly" was one of them, but can't remember. I should have bought it since it has gone out of print. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on it and some of his "likker".

Going to finish up the past season of "Sons of Anarchy" and the first season of "American Horror Story" in the near future. I have been lucky here lately to get caught up with what I have so far. Hoping to get caught up before the next seasons start.

I've learned that there is no reality show that is "reality". When the people on the reality show know there is a camera rolling, they will not act 100% natural. They will act, and think about what they are going to say/do more.

Agree 100%. I threw out all that out the window a long time ago and just go along with it. Although, I do know a guy that went to Louisiana for work and while he was down there he took a weekend to search out for Shelby from AxMen. Found him, said that dude is as crazy in real life as he is on the show. Took him out for a ride with Willie, let him shoot the pistol and invited him back anytime he had a chance.

Being a fan of the Alky-halls made me turn into Moonshiners.

It may disappoint many, but Pawn Stars is fake as hell. Saw that in person out in Vegas. When you see a deal being done on the show, the deal has already been done off camera beforehand. If an item or person is interesting to them that they made a deal with, they basically line everyone back up, get everyone (except a couple of extras) out of the shop and film a "fake" scripted deal for the TV show.

Ever notice how when they are haggling a deal you only see 4-5 people in the shop? This is why. Every day of the week, that place has thousands of visitors, and people line the place shoulder to shoulder. When they go to film, they clear the place. After I was told all of this by a few of the guys that worked there, I totally got turned off from the show. They also said the owners are there about 10% of the time at best. So tourists hoping to see them......good luck.

My brother was out there not long ago and told me the same thing. Stayed long enough to get a t-shirt and then left. Said they had a bunch of shit items on the shelves as well. The stuff (weapons, cars, guitars) must be taken to auction, b/c they aren't anywhere to be seen for the most part.

A couple I'd disagree on are the two I watch the most, Deadliest Catch and UFC. I'd say Deadliest Catch is about spot on because there's not a lot of acting that can go on when it's 20 degrees, snowing, sleeting with the wind blowing 60 and the seas throwing you around the boat. Just do your job and hang on. That's reality enough for me and for some reason, very entertaining.

The UFC, if you don't watch it, takes a bunch of up and coming fighters and puts them all in a house for 6 weeks while they fight their way to a UFC contract. They divide them into 2 teams, which does cause a whole hell of a lot of drama, but at the end of the day, it's really every man for himself. I'm sure there's some hamming it up for the cameras but the "reality" is, these are some mean, bad ass mother truckers who fight for a living.

Never gave it much thought, but doesn't surprise me. What did surprise me was "Big Shrimping". Geeeezus Christo, the captains of those shrimp boats make the dumbest Alaskan crab boat hands look like fucking Rhode's Scholars. Getting a little tired of all these "reality shows" about idiot southern rednecks.

Couldn't agree more. Those are some nasty, toothless, dumbass Wal Mart shoppers.

I have watched a few shows of Cajun Pawn Stars. I like the "coonasses" better than I do the guys from Vegas.

I am with Snaggle on the Deadliest Catch. It is damn good to me. I have started recording Bering Sea Gold. Anyone watched it yet and is it worth my time?

All I know is Troy Landry filled his last tag with less than an hour to go in the season, with a 13'6" gatah.

Choot him Elizabit...choot him

Agreed. How can you not want to see what's on the other end of that line. Grabbing a small rope with a 500 lb. gator thrashing like a mofo on the other end is just good television. However, I feel for the people filming because they have to be around those people and huge coolers of "bait" all day....which is.....big chunks of rotting chicken. There's not a whole lot worse than rotten chicken. Yeeeeesh

Ok, confession.....I will DVR shows and I am real bad about getting a season behind and then getting caught up. I can't do that with Swamp People. I had to watch last night. Anyone else catch it?

Will ask again about Bearing Sea Gold? Worth watching?

Also caught an episode of Mudcats or whatever. Those guys................yeah, they are idiots.
