There’s no question about it. Survivorman is one of the best shows ever made. Les Stroud really went into the wild with his own camera gear and filmed himself for a week without any food or water – repeatedly.

The reason it didn’t make it big is because it wasn’t fake enough.

Which is why a bullshit show called ‘Man vs Wild’ is now bigger than survivorman. James Hong (hotornot.com founder) has a little video on his blog exposing “Man vs Wild”.

The last time I saw Les, he was on Larry King chatting about a new nature movie someone else is launching. Someone needs to give the guy the credit he’s due and put some serious money behind him to do another show – and this time put it on a real network – like the Vs Channel.
