The discussion centers around the emergence of reality TV shows focused on wild pig hunting, particularly on A&E, which has sparked outrage among viewers who feel the network has degraded from its original programming of documentaries and quality content. Participants express disbelief at the proliferation of such shows, questioning their entertainment value and the network's shift in focus. Some argue that these programs serve a public service by addressing the issue of invasive wild pigs in the U.S., while others lament the lack of substantive content on television. The conversation also touches on the broader trend of reality TV dominating the airwaves due to lower production costs and viewer demand for sensational content. Critics highlight the repetitive nature of these shows and the decline in quality across various networks, suggesting that the public's appetite for such programming reflects a troubling trend in entertainment.

I was looking at the lineup today. It was Storm, then The Storm, Storm Wars, Megafault, Snowmageddon, and then this.

Geez Evo, you left out the best stuff!
Yeah today's theme was ridiculous and impossible devastation shows. :frown:

I'm still destressing and don't want to move. But there's not much to choose from on the tube.

Oooh, sounds apocalyptic! What horrible devastation could it be about?

Oh, a grave with 51 Vikings found in England. :rolleyes: Gee, well Vikings did invade England, I'm pretty sure some died. :rolleyes:

I've seen a couple of similar themes... Extreme Biology, or Reality Cartography, or something similar.

It seems the Vikings that were settled there were rounded up, stripped naked, beheaded, and thrown into a pit. The anthropologists are searching for any record of what happened. They're thinking it was part of King Ethelred of England/Britain going a bit crazy. I don't remember that he went crazy from my Dark Ages studies.

Oh, lovely gross gratuitous re-enactments of the naked beheadings.

In my wild youth, I remember several parties I left early - out the back door - as I sensed they were going that direction :wink:.
