I admit that I watch too much TV. Much (even most) is junk and a waste of time, but easy and I like to zone out on occasion. I can't justify even higher-level cable (I have the Basic +, I don't know how many, an S-load of channels but none of the HBOs, Showtimes and the like) or Netflix, Hulu and the rest, but I do watch a few shows with regularity.
That being said, I really like watching Oak Island.
These two brothers apparently made a ton of money in oil and now they are on a multi-year adventure. And, oh the toys! Big manly diggers and then they bring in huge rigs to drill way down. Lots and lots of high tech imaging and metal detecting. Carbon dating and recently, genomics. All sorts of fun stuff - I would absolutely love an adventure like that!
I'm hooked like I was hooked on the (now defunct?) autonomous vehicle contests. I really want them to find things out and they have already advanced way past the bizarre stories that have about as much evidence as your run-of-the-mill conspiracy theory.
Usually, reality shows are anything but - this one looks different to me - am I just being duped?
