Yea, i think they might go for it...lol...although im not too sure if our survival "tips" are safe enough to be revealed to the general public..lol

Man vs. Wild has vanished from Discovery and I don't see the ads any more. Survivorman is on now which is ok by me. Les is great.
Anyone know the full skinny?

There are about 50 threads about this and they all have something different to say. They all end on a few simple truths though. Bear is fake but entertaining, Les Stroud keeps it more real but doesn't like to kill anything with fur, There will always be BGG's, and we will all watch both shows anyways.

Nice summation Spiritman!

I find them both entertaining and nothing more. If you watch MvW and try to learn something to duplicate at a different time you are going to die quickly in the woods. First off, He parachutes in. In a real scenario where you drop from the sky it would be from a plane crash. (Unless you somehow got pushed from a plan) Anyway in a plane crash we all know where the best place to be rescued is and it is not 100 miles away 3 canyons over. With a piss soaked boxers on your head. Staying with the wreck is not very entertaining and the show would be 15 minutes long.

A few of my teachers got outright mad when i would summarize too much. I always used as little description as possible when they wanted as much as possible.

I think that (by the sound of it) most of the show isn't totally true. Some of the things I've heard would make any normal human sick, and people have noticed he never really gets sick or hurt badly or anything... i don't really know... most things on TV aren't always real either... of course, there are people I guess like that... i don't really know...

But still no answer if Man Vs Wild was CANCELLED FROM DISCOVERY. Show me the press release, or an official word that saying the show has been cancelled.

I looked and there isn't 50 threads on man vs wild being cancelled...

there's one that says he will have his show again but with more disclaimers. W will all be watching it again anyways.

He's no match for SurvivalDude2007, SurvivalDude has American Express and Martha Stewart for backup!!

I contacted Discovery Channel and they told me that He would be back on, but with disclaimers, everything being explained up front, etc. This is supposed to apply to his earlier shows as well, so maybe they're re-editing?
