I'm with everyone here.
I liked SOG when it FIRST came on. after maybe 2 or 3 shows it just got ridiculous. He's not doing anything extrordinary. I mean do people really think they are "inventing" something unique and brand new in a 30 minute TV show?
That American Guns (what's with all the "American XXXX" names anyway?) is just too stupid to watch. The wife with her giant fake boobs and lips is just gross and the Paris Hilton wanna be daughter is well on her way in her mom's footsteps. The dad...I can't find words for his acting abilities.
I used to like Top Shot but more and more I see how fixed that show is. I watched the latest episode and the blue team is down so bad that they had to handicap the red team by dropping the rope on them during the "pirate swing" competition. The guy was clearly holding on as high as he could on the rope and 4 or 5 times when he swung out off the deck the rope dropped a good 8-10 feet. Are people that stupid anymore that they couldn't see that? It was so bad that the 4th person on the red team was 3/4 of the way through the swing when they dropped the rope and made him slam into the face of the other deck. COME ON!
Doomsday preppers. haha. This show just makes me laugh. aside from the dad who shot his thumb off, isn't the first rule of prepping not to talk about prepping? I live in the hurricane capital of the world so I'm "prepped" and it's not a big deal as it's not the end of the world. But if I was to stock pile years worth of supplies, assuming it's going to be THAT bad, I'm not going to go on international TV and let everyone (including the governement) know what I have and where it is. I think I read someplace that the fat goofy guy that rides the ATV in the first episode (I think it's the first. he's on all the commercials) had the government come and take his guns away. Do I see something happening that could warrant this type of prepping? sure. Hell, look at Japan and the earthquake, tidal wave, nuclear problem they faced last year. Look at how easily a hurricane or blackout can cause mass panic.
Someone else mentioned it here, but I think the best show was that "Lock N Load" that was on maybe 6 or 7 years ago. It was actually informative, and without the stupid drama. There used to also be a show on the History channel that was sort of like that Modern Marvels, another cool show, that documented the history of guns. Each episode would look at a different part. Machine guns, or magnums, or the revolver... but it only lasted a few months and I never saw it again.
I definitely think these shows will all go the way of American Chopper. It's still holding on a bit but it's lost a lot of it's appeal in the last few years. Didn't it even move to TLC or something?
