NEW MSNBC article about DC and other real reality shows
Jun 25 2008, 8:11 PM EDT http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25352695/ it's apparently too long to post here , but go check it out! Here's the end of the article where they focus specifically on DC The personalities can make or break these shows from an entertainment perspective. "Ice Road Truckers" tends to get repetitive because it features a lot of hauling and movement without much of the explosive tempers, firings, fighting, and backbiting in the other three shows. The fairly isolated life of a trucker can only be so interesting for so long (although 20th Century Fox might beg to differ, since the studio is turning the show into a big-screen action film). "Deadliest Catch," on the other hand, has Northwestern captain Sig Hansen, who's been the most consistent presence on the show over its four seasons and whose story lines haven't begun to get tiresome. He runs a family operation that treats its employees well, but won't put up with lying, lack of work ethic, or laziness In fact, “Deadliest Catch” is the most successful of this genre so far and if you’ve tuned in, it’s obvious why: Crab fishing is truly the deadliest of the professions featured. The stakes feel higher, the danger closer. More deaths and near-deaths probably have appeared on “Catch” than on the rest of the shows combined. And, as for sheer terror, it doesn’t get any better (or worse?) than watching guys facing a sea full of waves big enough to swallow them whole, boat and all. That’s the kind of drama you can’t script or re-create with a million other copycat series, no matter how good they might be. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
