Last night I was watching my usual Discovery TV shows, and I see a comercial for Man vs. Wild with Will Ferrell. Are they serious? This site isn't very nice to Man vs. Wild, with some very justifiable reasons, but for the love of all things wilderness Will Ferrell, in this show brings it to a whole new level of low.

Any and all credibility I feel has totaly left the show,, well unless Bear Grills snaps and puts Will out of our missery.

I notice that this show is really a weekend snow camping with Will Ferrell, with Bear Gryllis as the straight man. Hey, that sounds like a hoot to me. I'll record and watch this too.

But buy a set of buckskins from reenactors, a dreamcatcher and after reading a military handbook of survival you can open a school. Ditto if you don military fatiques or a Hudson's Bay capote- whatever GQ magazine hasn't named fashionable.
Wilderness has been abused to the point our one and only 'Liferaft' may well sink in a century.
Entertainment sees it as just another milieu to exploit.
So we have 'contestants' right out of THE PRICE IS RIGHT apparently 'playing with the heads of game animals' if I read another thread correctly.
Getting upset over Will Ferrel is like asking a masochist if it hurts.

for the advertisers sake I hope this show does have some sort of intertainment value....

I agree...this show was never credible.

I saw the preview for this too. Need to watch it, just for the laughs. The pure silliness of it all...

Maybe Will and Bear will turn on each other; wonder who would win that fight...

Never cared much for Will Ferrell and his brand of juvenile humor, so I will find something else to do. I am really surprised Bear is doing this one.

bear always dose thing the hard way expect when he stays at a motel 6 so now he going to take a moron along. hey wolves need to eat too

C'mon. It's going to be great. Even Bear admits that the smartest thing to do when lost is stay put. That being said it makes for boring television so he finds his way out and along the way shows us what can/will/would happen if someone trys something stupid like swimming under ice or trying to drink from a bad patch of water.

He is at least illustrating what happens in an accident and at most what happens when ego interferes with rescue.

The Will Ferrell thing...remember the SNL kits (w/o Ferrell) on the Scoutmaster? Funny stuff.
