Another shocking week for TV just a tad better than last week and I didn’t bother posting. These listed below are shows I am interested in watching while other new shows I am unlikely to watch. You can see from my choices I love reality shows, ordinary people outside their comfort zone like “Moms Makes Porn” but my favourite gene is people living off grid.
This upcoming week there are two new shows making their debuts neither of which I have seen before or heard of before. I am excited. I find it exhilarating in this world of technology people will take steps back living in the wilderness of Alaska.
Sunday – Discovery – Homestead Rescue 9pm (New Series)
Something new for a Sunday night and I am so excited. City slickers are schooled by the show’s hosts on their last chance to succeed off grid and survive off the land... among wildlife predators & natural disasters. We met amputee Jeff and wife Carol want a liveable home, water, and a place to grow food not a easy find in Alaska.
Elsewhere, we met the Raneys who build an entire cabin from scratch and harness a natural spring in their wish to live in the wilderness.
Monday – History – River Hunters 9pm (New Series)
US YouTube sensation Beau Ouimette, a river detectorist with over 30 years’ experience, pairs up with presenter and keen swimmer Rick Edwards, to search the UK's waterways in search of archaeological finds. I have seen some of his videos.
In the opening episode, the pair tackle the River Forth in the shadow of Stirling Castle. In the first archaeological river search of this spot, they set out on the hunt for relics of Scotland's greatest medieval warriors, William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, revealing secrets from the battle sites of their most famous victories against their hated English overlords.
Wednesday – Channel 4 – Mums Makes Porn 10pm (New Series)
Five mothers come together to research the realities of free online porn and the impact it is having on their children's generation. Shocked by what they see, they decide to make their own alternative porn film, (that should be interesting) addressing the issues that matter the most to them. Some of the mothers find the process harder than others, especially when they embark on visits to porn sets.
Wednesday – National Geographic – Lawless Island: Alaska 10pm (New Series)
I can’t get enough of these kind of shows living off grid something I may fantasise about but would never have the bottle to do anyway if the was a large supermarket and few miles away and a must would have to be … the internet.
Following a remarkable group of people who have left normal society behind and moved to remote Alaska. Now, with winter almost upon them, they must use the last days of good weather to hunt and stock the freezers.
Thursday – Comedy Central – Blockbusters 8pm (New Series)
A reboot that has been rebooted a few time and back again for another try. How, undaunted by the show’s zig-zag history, Dara O Briain steps up to ask the questions as 17-year-olds go two-versus-one to see who can quiz their way across a board of hexagons.
It’s clear that Comedy Central wants this to be a jokey affair, with Dara taunting the teenagers, “It doesn’t matter how many 20 pounds you win, your generation will never be able to afford a house” pretty much true.
