I will watch any old survival show with the hope to learn something new even if its just a tiny tidbit of info.
Problem is the editing and format of these American based shows,
Start off with showing a clip from every future episode for the first 5 minutes
Then a panel of experts pontificate for 5 minutes,
Then we have a bunch of flashy graphics for another few minutes,
Finally we get to see some of the actual content for about 30 seconds then a commercial break.
After returning from the break we RECAP!!! over the things that happened 5 minutes ago for 5 minutes, then a little more show before repeating the same footage from different angles over again!!
Then more commercials and recaps and REPEAT. If the viewer needs a recap for something that happened minutes ago they need to get checked out by a neurologist.
I skipped all the waffle, repeated footage/re-caps and the program was about 11 minutes long.
I just cant watch the American stuff any more. Ed Staffords recent shows were how it should be done.
Rant over.
