#243081 - 03/13/12 11:33 PM Bear has finally gone away
widget Addict Registered: 07/06/03 Posts: 550	Seems he wore out his welcome at Discovery. Keep in mind that Discovery has almost no informative programming on anymore, just WWE type "reality" nonsense. At least Bear was entertaining, even though his show was a pile of dung. It was better dung. http://www.tmz.com/2012/03/13/man-vs-wild-bear-grylls-fired-discovery-channel/#.T1-t9hx69ZY _________________________ No, I am not Bear Grylls, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night and Bear was there too!

Is it any wonder I watch less than 3 hours of TV a week, and all of that via the DVR to skip the long and repetitive commercial breaks. _________________________ 2010 Jeep JKU Rubicon \| 35" KM2 & 4" Lift \| Skids \| Winch \| Recovery Gear \| More ...

While we certainly don't know why they parted, I hardly think this is anywhere close to libel. Is it insulting? Sure, but that's hardly something that the defendant could prove "false" in a court of law. It's really just some folks' opinions. Besides, you're in the UK. You see what passes for news in some of those periodicals!

Phaedrus Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/28/10 Posts: 3162 Loc: Big Sky Country	I think the next step for ol' Bear is "Dancing With The Stars." I wonder if there's a dance that culminates in drinking your own urine? Oh, snap! There is now! _________________________ “I'd rather have questions that cannot be answered than answers that can't be questioned.” —Richard Feynman

Virginia_Mark Journeyman Registered: 02/22/07 Posts: 80	Bear gets Fired! Oh Well, I hope his next venture is of more value and less entertainment fluff. I think "Dual Survival" kinda made him irrelevant anyway. _________________________

ILBob Old Hand Registered: 02/05/10 Posts: 776 Loc: Northern IL	I lost interest in his shows when I watched a couple and saw some of the dangerous stunts he engaged in. Every TV show comes to an end some time. It may just be that this show has run its course. He is a proven personality and will pop up on another show maybe on another network, maybe the same network. _________________________ Warning - I am not an expert on anything having to do with this forum, but that won't stop me from saying what I think.
