Sweet. Even though his show is largely scripted, it's still entertaining.

Cool! This is good news. Although I've switched teams and become a Survivorman fanboy, I still love me some Bear.
To get my "Survivalist fix" I've been watching episodes of a BBC program called Bushcraft, with Ray Mears. You can find them... somewhere.

I like Surivorman a lot more now than I did a few months ago.

"Man vs Wild" now has a disclaimer at the beginning of each episode. Also, in the Scotland episode, new narration has been added that tells us that the rabbit was placed there by the producers, and was not in fact caught in Bear's trap.

Finally. I've been waiting for this show to come back. I always thought Man vs wild was a far more entertaining show then Survivorman. I thought the whole controversy concerning the actual reality of the show was a non-issue.

I used to love Man vs. Wild, and it wasn't until the controversy that I even knew Survivorman existed. I have since watched every episode of Survivorman several times and moved onto the much more mellow and instructional BBC show, Ray Mears' Bushcraft. Regardless I agreed with the "it's more entertaining" argument and looked forward to watching it again.
Maybe the controversy tainted my view subconsciously, or maybe I just got used to Survivorman's more laid back "realistic" approach, but I didn't enjoy last nights episode at all. I found myself looking for mistakes more than anything. I think this show will not last unless they make some format changes. I'll keep watching as long as it lasts, though, just not with the same enjoyment.
