I was a little disappointed with the show. It had its humorous parts, but I was hoping Will Ferrell would have been a little funnier. There is plenty about Man vs. Wild and Bear Grylls to poke fun at. Maybe he was too stressed.

I missed it. I was pretty busy and forgot all about it.
Dammit! I assume it will be available somewhere soon.

Watched and DVR'd it.
It was great. But, they overdid the 'Hollywood' thing. every 5 minutes Bears narrative was saying how Will is used to cocktail party's, and al a carte dinners... that got a bit old.
Still miss Survivor man though.

I agree it wasn't as funny as it could have been, but I bet they edited some stuff out. They can't have someone come on their show and make Bear look like a fool.

From a marketing standpoint I think it was a good idea. Ferrell got to promote his new movie and it stretched the Man vs. Wild audience possibly introducing new viewers to Bear Grylls. But a 48 hour hike, through a beautiful, but bitter landscape, with a strategically place deer head (so the Ferrell could eat the eyeball) didn't cut it for me. I agree with you Soulfrk, I miss Survivorman.

Is Les done? I always enjoyed him a lot more than Bear anyway.
A great new show I've got hooked on is Mantracker on the Science Channel. The premise is that two people get dropped off at a spot and have to make it to a finish line that is roughly 25 miles away, depending on the location and terrain, and are given a map and compass. I've only seen two episodes, and all 4 participants were hunters, bushmen, etc. (people with serious outdoor skills).
The game is that this cowboy called Mantracker is on horse, with a local guide, and is chasing them. He doesn't have any tools, only his ability to read bootprints and whatnot, along with a psychological profile of each contestant. There's a ton of strategy to it. The contestants can hide out in the bush (where the horses obviously can't go), but sooner or later they have to make a run for it to make the time limit.
Pretty sweet I think

Les is done, his last show aired early this year...or late last year. I can't remember. I think he's going to be doing something else soon, but I guess show was taking a bit of a toll on him. Did you know he is 48?
Man tracker is really cool. not sure I'd like to be the trackee though.

I guess he has started a new show already. Looks interesting.

Wow, he looks pretty damn good for 48. I would've thought late 30s

Watched the replay of this last night, thought it was great! The parts with him eating the deer head were classic
