Jim Halpert: Question. What kind of bear is best?
Dwight Schrute: That's a ridiculous question.
Jim Halpert: False. Black bear.
Dwight Schrute: Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought...
Jim Halpert: Fact: Bears eat beets.
Dwight Schrute: Bears do not...
Jim Halpert: Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
Dwight Schrute: What is going on? What are you doing?

So I have recently become addicted to this show.
If you wanna learn how to survive in uninhabited parts of the world, and if you are a completely insane English person, watch it! =)
There is one other survival show on television called Survivorman, but they really should change the name of the show to Complainerman,or WhineyExaggerationMan, or ImNotAsCoolAsBearGrylls....man. It sucks. This guy basically puts himself in the middle of nowhere for seven days and then just survives. For no reason. He's not trying to teach anyone anything, he just wants to show off that he can sleep in grass and eat turds and scorpions. Nobody cares about some boring Canadian dude trying to live in various places for a week without dying. He whines about virtually everything he does and is boring as crap to watch. The tag-line is: “No food, no shelter, no fresh water, no tools…no camera crew.” First off all, a little wordy there, Survivorman. Secondly, Survivorman has a huge swiss army knife in every episode. Last time I checked, a Swiss Army knife was a tool, and also 30 other tools he probably has floatin' around somewhere in his little fanny pack. Plus, he usually starts every episode off with a fun pack of Fritos or something.
The worst part about Survivorman, in my opinion, is that the host doesn’t have a camera crew. People try to sell this like it’s some positive aspect to the show, when it’s really just a major distraction. When you see Survivorman climb a up a rock face or whatever, all you do is think about how he had to then immediately climb back down the rock to go retrieve his stupid camera. He puts so much energy into the cinematography, that you lose sympathy for him and his struggle to survive. He always ends up whining about how hungry and tired he is, and you want to be like, “Well, Survivorman, maybe you’d conserve your energy more effectively if you didn’t do everything three times. You freakin' idiot.”
Also, Bear eats abandoned carcasses like some kind of large powerful mammal. Survivorman just cries about how bad it tastes. Such an annoying show, eat the camera please.
I watched an episode of survivorman tonight. What a joke. He jumped into the Rockies and heard this bear off in the distance, so he's walking through the dang forrest in the dead of night trying to escape this bear. Rather ammusing at 5am, wouldn't you say?
