They are so fake. Ami's cancer is probably a publicity stunt. Bear is the stupidest of them all.Beating a fish after it is caught is inhumane, but I guess growing up wild bear did not learn thatNone of the guys will find women who will live like that.Come on a necklace made from a shell and "dog" hair GROSS

At the start of the in 2014 I found it interesting because they said they only had 5k to their name. Once I read a little about The Brown's I find them a fraud. I cannot believe discovery still has their shows on. What a bunch of fakes. They act like they are so poor but each episode they have more stuff. Boats, ropes, chainsaws, nails, wood, guns and everything else they have costs. Most of the episodes show what a bunch of clowns they really are. Noah proclaims he is a scientist, Bam the strong quiet logical one, Matt the oldest and dumbest, Bear the tree climbing monkey, Gabe the muscle man that never wears a jacket in 30 degree temps, and the rest run around like the three stooges giving the real Alaskans and bad name. I guess anyone would be able to make it if they gave you $50,000 an episode. I am totally outraged and will never watch it again after learning about them. I want discovery to do a show on my life. at least it would be real.

Watched quite a few episodes and half enjoyed them and quickly thereafter too many things made no sense at all. Main thing was that with a seemingly successful show and the big checks that come quickly why are they having to do so many ignorant things to survive. The clothes all the sudden looked wrong for the part and always some disaster every show. It became fast obvious it is like so many other contrived TV or Hollywood nonsense shows. Reality right..more like unreality and silly crap. I quit watching it none too soon. I refuse to even watch one more episode. It is just another I have added to my list of do not watch the horrible mess shows.

Agreeably, each person will have their differing opinions, especially about (un-)reality TV. I really do enjoy the program but I have to take it for what it is. I am not an Alaskan, and neither are these folks in the show. I kind of wish someone would produce a similar program as a counter-balance. I fully support someone trying something new...especially if the economy is so bad, employment tanks for one and all. With that being said, if this program gets cancelled tomorrow, I really won't miss it. Now about "Reality TV?" Many may swallow the premise this is the 'true' saga of a group of rough and tough Alaskan 'Bush(?)' people…and devour it hook-line-and sinker. Rough and tough – yes. Real people – yes. True story - really? Ever hear of staging? Believe what you wish…if gullibility is your bag I do have a bridge I can sell you. I cannot believe that some reviewers complain about the lack of local government oversight. Note: Please – stay in the city. This is what is known as freedom, and I do support those who pursue it. Escaping that precious 'Nanny State' is a dream for many and apparently a sin for others. Those who see this as awful, seem to think people grasping for individuality should be punished...why? And for those habitual whiners, you can always cover your eyes, turn off the stupid TV…and never, ever go to Alaska. I do enjoy this show, but it is what it is. For the most part, the writing is non-existent (hence – that hard-to-understand word "reality"); situations are contrived (really? I mean, really? It's a show, which means it needs to meet a bottom-line, or get cancelled - so get over it); they don't talk like them-thar-danged-well-spoken city-dwellers (again – stay in the city), and the 'stars?' have a rotten boat that has dry rot and it might sink…so what, ever hear of culling the herd? And this action needs to be 'professionally (?)' inspected by some government person (are you kidding me? If you want to do whatever the government wants you to do…watch PBS – but don't mock a person's wish for individuality.) This show always has something going. As offensive as it is for some…I just don't see or hear anything upsetting. It is a good tale of struggle and overcoming hardships (and it may provide those more arrogant a venue to mock a differing dialect – immense hubris does not shield ignorance.) Again, this is not for everyone…but I like it
