Beyond Oak Island

THEIR business plan. Not YOURs. On paper this makes sense.What started as a simple search for treasure on Oak Island, supposed to last a season or two, has become a multi-year never-ending story. In the BUSINESS of syndicated TV, the only way to cash in on that is to spin-off something with the same actors, crew, producers etc. Big bucks. As long as the customers ... err ... viewers ... go for it ....?

Someone please Gorilla Tape Matty Blake to the boat seat. And while you're at it, put an extra large piece of it across his mouth.

Matty makes these BOI episodes extremely uncomfortable to watch. He just comes off as a total sycophant. Hey guys. Can we go diving yet? Can we? Can we? Can we?

When they finally do, you can see the trepidation in the other crew members when the divers hit the water and Matty takes the comm and becomes the man in charge. It's like these divers have been on the bottom for 10 seconds and Matty is already hounding them. Everything all right down there? Find anything yet? How's it going?

Diving is serious business. If I had some jamoke hounding me on the comm line every 15 seconds, I'd be very tempted to surface and promptly toss him overboard. TV show or no TV show.

Nothing ruins a documentary faster than a producer that inserts himself into the documentation. Give the basics of the story and then get out of the way and let the experts take it from there.

Anclote island is NOT in Tampa (Hillsboro county) but in Pasco County or New Port Richey by the Anclote Power Plant. Please get your facts straight. Though many people are interested in your show, the location should not put the spotlight on Tampa. There are many protected and un explored area's in our County and the Credit needs to go to the correct site / County and location. The story line is good, but you still have yet to find treasure oa any of your locations. Oak Island was a bust. Good editing, clear and simple. Your show needs a little more. Let's see your treasures. How about an episode with that.

I'm excited for this show, i really love these old crazy men and the history and the stuff they find. I really hope they actually do find some sort of treasure! They gotta make that money back from oak Island lol! The only thing i don't like is its only usa stuff and considering they are on Canadian soil for most of the year and oak Island is all about Canada and is in Canada they should include stories from Canada or from around the world. And they don't mention women from history. The first episode was about pirates and there was several well known successful female ones and no mention at all about them..

I know. This is on the HISTORY Channel and should be about history, but I was expecting the folks to spend more time in the present 'digging' up history. In the second episode, they spent almost 30 minutes talking about the exploits of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (and even the Dalton Gang), but less than 15 minutes of Gary Drayton being on location searching for anything. Seems like they need too much filler material in the episodes somewhat like they do with The Curse of Oak Island and fill it in with old material from previous seasons
