Was just reading yet another thread about the "Diggers" tv show and decided that a thread about the shows we actually like might be interesting. Please don't turn it into a Diggers bashing thread. There are several of those. Do a search and post on them. This is a thread for us to discuss the likes & dislikes of all those other shows that are currently on the tube. Wandering off topic and telling folks how much you enjoyed "Rawhide" or "Wild Kingdom" may be interesting but isn't the point of this thread. Current shows only please, good or bad. I'll go first. This is basically a cut & paste of my comments on the "Diggers" thread but it's easier than typing it all again... #1 is Antiques Roadshow. Pawn Stars just to see the "stuff" people bring in. American Restoration & American Pickers for the same reason although if the "pickers" showed up here I would make that bottom feeder, cheapskate Frank wait in the van while I showed Mike around and... History Detectives, etc. I can't stomach Scott Wolter and the way he makes the things he looks at fit his story even when the facts actually prove nothing. Next episode... Proof that the Vikings landed on Mars... I try to watch hoping for an interesting episode and end up changing the channel. Moonshiners because I'm in the heart of that area and while some of the show is a little hokey it's mostly based on fact. Diggers I'm on the fence about. It's not quite as bad as "BOOM Baby" but it's running a close second. At least they generally show proper removal techniques and respect for the history a bit more than the other buffoon who would dig graves to steal Gold teeth if he could get away with it.. There are a couple others I like but I'm still on my first cup of coffee & not awake yet... Your turn..

Thank you for starting this thread! I actually like Diggers despite all the negativity surrounding the show. I too have read all the hater points already, so here's what I like:

They enjoy what they do and they turn over most of what they find.

When I'm sitting on the couch it gets me a bit excited watching them dig for things.

I think it brings good attention to Metal detecting and gets people interested. It's everyone's to enjoy and I think that's a good thing.

It shows technique just a little which is good for people learning.

I think they're genuinely excited over their finds

Now, I know inevitably someone is going to try and argue/ rash the show on this thread, but please restrain yourselves - there are already threads for that.

I like "The Americans" and "Blacklist", as well as "Revolution". I love a ton of old shows, but you said the thread isn't about that so I won't comment.

Funny you mentioned it i just seen the first episode aired on animal planet. Was wondering if you ran across the other episodes? I haven't been able to find them even online at all. If you do could you please let me know it looks pretty interesting.

This guy used to live not too far from here.. "Popcorn Sutton" Interesting story about his life and how he chose to die. Hank Williams Jr put up the money to produce his shine legally and it's for sale in the local liquor stores. I've got a jar sitting in my "medicine cabinet" along with some Old Smoky Apple Pie moonshine.. Good stuff. A couple friends in the local car club I belong to tell stories of him showing up at the factory they worked at on Fridays and selling moonshine in the parking lot out of the trunk of his car.

Stuck on NCIS for some dang reason. Even the reruns. Its as addictive as this hobby. I don't like any of the "Reality TV" shows. All made up dialog and as far from reality as possible. Most of it is demeaning to the human race.

I currently watch to much tv as it's winter so there's really nothing else to do. Lately i've been keeping up with mostly with a ton of shows either on history/discovery/animal planet. Other shows I enjoy are Duck Dynasty, Ax men/ wicked tuna/ no man's land/the mentalist and a few others. I've recently watched that new show called Believe which was surprisingly decent.
