    Cool New Survival show!

    The Spike channel is announcing a new Survival series starting up Tuesday evening. This will be how to survive just about anything & is supposed to be geared towards how anybody can survive. 1st up will be how to take back an airliner being taken over by terrorists, such as what happened on 911 & Flight 93. There will be many other scenarios like avalanches and so on. I'l be checking it out as I'm sure most of you will be also.

    You know to be honest, I have just about given up on "Survival Shows". Nowadays if it ain't Les Stroud IMO it ain't worth watching. I just can't see Spike producing anything better than what Discovery has done and let's face it Discovery is mostly Junk when it comes to "survival shows". To be honest I have just about given up on TV altogether. I don't even feel like I can trust even the news anymore with all the political Slants each one has. I wish Someone would just report the news without letting their own political Ideology slant it this way or that. Just the facts-who,what,when,where,why and how. I watch maybe 6 or 7 hours of TV a week, total. I let it run for breaking news and weather and that's about it.

    I might get to see it in a couple of years time. In the meantime a review of it is much appreciated from this side of the pond!

    Hopefully, the show coming to Spike will be more informative than most of the rest. I hope so. I watch most of them for awhile hoping to get a little info that I can use. Other than that, its mainly for entertainment value, what there is of that.
