Ax Men

I live in logging country. I've worked logging sales and visited on-site logging. I must say that I'm very disappointed with the History Channel. There's nothing historical about this program. If you will notice there are times when the camera is actually under someone that's falling. This is a pure piece of Hollywood type of junk. Not one of those men would last 2 minutes on a real logging site. "History channel" had done a real dis-service to the true logging industry.

Then there's the bleeps, and bleeps, etc. History Channel is encouraging and airing filthy language. Bleeps do not cover the lips when they peak the filth. This is really great examples for the youth of our country....NOT! History Channel...there's enough real history to fill your airways...why air all this crap? Your taste is questionable.

I had stopped watching this series years ago, when the extremely annoying scripted drama drove me off.

When I saw that it was back again, season 10, I watched episode 1 and woo-hoo! just logging! Interesting info from the loggers, great video, and apparently, no scripted drama!

...until episode 2. Rygaard fake drama, father Vs son! ...again!

You've got to be kidding me! The show's been off the air for several years, your audience hating the fake drama, you get a reprieve with another season, and you jump right back into the garbage!

I'll watch a couple more episodes, then I'm bailing again, if the producers have continued ruining it.

This show should be for guys that enjoy watching an interesting job, not for Hollywood. This is exactly why I bailed on Gold Rush, years ago.

It's become so stupid & staged just barely watchable now,the only redeeming thing is Shelby.The venomous backstabbing craig & his manchild baby gabe are quite sickening to see of late & the other peanuts on the river just talking crap all the time.Quite obviously scripted & staged when you see the rygards looking,smiling at camera in the middle of a raging argument,seems that's all it's become now just faux arguing & terrible acting

Kelly oaks should be thrown in prison and lose his logging license for life he has no right to be logging;he endangered lifes of the other crew.

What can I say about this programme? I saw it last Saturday morning, and it was only because a) I was really tired, and b) there was nothing on worth watching anyway. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole-hill! How could the producers extend that material to a full hour (plus advert breaks)? No disrespect to the guys who do that job, they clearly have a fairly hard time, and frankly I wouldn't want to do it, but that doesn't mean we have to be subjected the tedium on a Saturday morning, when I and many others like me are at our most vulnerable. It's just not good TV, and I resent paying my license fee when all I get is "reality" TV shows. Boring. Having said all that, there are at least a dozen other reality shows I'd less rather watch. Big Brother, Celebrity Love Island, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, How Clean Is Your House?, etc, etc, etc.
