Alaskan Reality TV
Well theresh this strange phenomenon that has happened in the last ten years or so. The propagation of Alaskan reality television shows. The best of them all will always be "Deadliest Catch", which started all the way back in 2005. It's a show documenting the experience of Bering sea crab fisherman as they risk it all for that briny gold. It is one of the most deadly occupations, with people dying often due to going overboard and getting hypothermia in the freezing waters. Turnover is fairly frequent, and it doesn't feel like the captains of the boats put much effort into recruitment. As I remember they sometimes just got random people they met in the bar at Dutch harbor.
Since Deadliest Catch, there has been quite the number of shows associated with the state of Alaska, including "Slednecks", "Alaskan Bush People", "Ice Road Truckers", "Alaskan Women Looking for Love", "Gold Rush", and "Bering Sea Gold" among many othersh. Gold Rush is probably the second best, as you watch hilljacks struggle to find gold.
Anyone else out there have anything to say about these shows?
Well?

Re: Alaskan Reality TV
Deadliest catch is clearly the most popular and I had also heard of Ice Road Truckers and the gold rush ones but until yesterday I had no idea there were so many of these. Are they all attempts to replicate the success of Deadliest catch? Does anyone have any ideas why there are so many?
