WHAT'S UP DOC

So I had to share with you guys a few shows I watch that I don't get to talk about here. They're documentary style shows on Discovery, History Channel, or some other network that makes people use their brains. Not that watching LOST doesn't make you use your brain, I mean what the hell are those numbers about? But there are a few really good shows that I suggest you check out if you want to learn something and be entertained at the same time.

Hot, I mean host, Josh Bernstein

The first one is called Digging For the Truth on the History Channel with host Josh Bernstein. Each week he takes a known myth, like, "Troy" and explores archeological and historical evidence of it, visiting different places and either discovering or debunking the evidence. It's very educational and- ok, who am I kidding, Josh is HOT. I started watching the show because he's HOT. I continue to watch the show because he's HOT. But in all seriousness, it is a fun and interesting show, and he is HOT.

This is one evil ass picture, but the only one I could find

The next show I like to catch on the weekends is I Shouldn't Be Alive on Discovery. As the name suggests each show is about a person, or group of people, who survived a horrible ordeal when all the odds were against them. A man and his son who were stuck in the Turkish mountains for 10 days without food and little water in the middle of a blizzard. Or two guys who get stuck on an uninhabitable Baja California island for four days with only cactus water to drink and nothing to eat. There may be no Josh Bernstein, but it's damn exciting.

Finally, a show that's second season is premiering this week is The Deadliest Catch. This one is the most exciting of the three. The first time I saw this show I was hanging out with my mom in a hotel room and there was a marathon on. Halfway through I said to myself, "Am I really spending my day in this hotel room because of a show about crabs?" It's all about Alaskan crab fisherman. Not only is it exciting watching the 24 hour a day struggle to get as many crabs as possible, but I kinda grew attached to the crusty crabmen. It was truly exciting so try and check it out if you can't.

If you're at all interested in documentaries I would definitely check out one or all three of these shows. And what's good about all of them is they repeats 3872304808 times during the week so if you can't see the original run, you can catch it on rerun on Tivo later that night or on the weekend.
