Survivorman - Reality Show Saves Man

Reality t.v. is finally showing some benefit to society.

A Manitoba (Canada) man, Christopher Traverse, recently found himself, lost, disorientated and hungry in the far north of the Canadian province, following a fishing trip in an unfamiliar area.

Traverse relied on skills he gleaned from the television show Survivorman, hosted by Les Stoud, to shield himself from the elements and maintain hydration during his five day odessey in the wild.

Now if we can just find a way to put the skillsets portrayed on Big Brother to use, we will be able to deem the show a true success!

LOST - With Nothing To Watch

Lost TV Series

 

Is it me? Did I imagine the LOST creators telling us that as a result of there not being a Fall ‘07 season, there would be an uninterrupted Winter/Spring ‘08 season with 18 episodes. Yeah, yeah… there was a writers strike. So what?! I can’t tell you how long the Fall was without LOST every week, and now when Thursday rolls around, it’s just another day.Television has gotten incredibly boring in the past year, lack luster and more of the same old, same old. Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick Jungle… give me a break. I can’t even bring myself to turn those shows on, they just reek of cheese - Whisteria Lane Goes To The Office. Don’t get me wrong, Desperate Housewives had a strong first season, and drew in a large following of 30-40 somethings - but it started going downhill in the second season when they obviously ran out of original content.

April 24th… that’s the return of new episodes. Till then I guess we’ll be saving on our electric bill by keeping the t.v. in hiatus mode… just when I thought we were through with the crap from the Fall.
