Fun premise, but I'd tire of all the "reality" drama VERY quickly.

OK AtvAK, I bit.......and am watching the first episode. Your buddy Bill C seems like a cool dude. Not sure about his co-pilot Butch yet.

Alaska based reality shows are fun to watch if:
a.) you can't find anything else to do;
b.) anything else to watch;
c.) want to laugh at retards;
d.) enjoy trying to figure out how the writers/producers engineer the social interactions of characters;
and...
e.) attempt to imagine just how warped an impression of Alaska a person from the L48 ends up with.
My viewing duration is about 20 minutes before I either turn off the tube or hurl or both.
I saw the episode with the race through "Wolf River Valley" (Knick Glacier valley I think). It was such a crock of shiite that I was moderately entertained.

I just finished the 5th season of Justified, so I'm on the lookout for more fictional characters with mullets. I don't believe for a millisecond that any of this is "real," but I'm a sucker for wheeling footage and some views of AK beyond what's covered by the Travel Channel or 24hr members hunt photos. In other words, a through d of your list.

A guy I know summed it up well when he said judging by the reality shows, the only people who live in alaska are troopers and degenerates.

No big deal, in California especially in the LA area everybody drives like that even on the freeways. Where I live, the roads are so bad that driving where they film this program would be a snap.

Nor you. At least I thought about it at one point.

Another Alaska reality show that stinks.

Bender, they say that there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't. (Have one of your kids explain it!) And no, I don't think all troopers are scumbags.

I'm thinking the real and interesting folks up here- and there are still plenty, mostly don't make good television.
