This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

We had a three year contract with Moneris Solutions to process our MasterCard and Visa payments. After over 2 years we decided we couldn't justify the monthly charges. We called Moneris to verify the end date of our contract and to ask if there would be any cancellation fees if we closed our account at the end of our contract period. We weren't told of any fees. Apparently the fine print in the contract says that if you don't use the service they can cancel you and charge you $250. We continued to pay the monthly service charges intending to payout till the end of 2014. We have two accounts with them so our fee would have been $500. We opted to just pay the minimum for the reset of the service period. What Moneris does is very clever. They continue to charge your account for months even if you don't use they service, then before your contract period is over they cancel you for not using the service and charge you $250 termination fee.The manager of customer service was rude and unhelpful. This means it will costs me $1, 000 to stop doing business with Moneris. This company is based in Canada. Don't trust them. I am using aurthorize.net. Moneris is a rip off and they should not be allow to do business in the US.

Absolutely cruel and shocking to see such a programme be allowed on TV. Using a wild animal like this in these circumstances is unacceptable. I will also be complaining to the British Government and hope this is banned from U.K. tv.

Please do not mix the original Gold Rush with Gold Rush: White Water. Now I am forced to sit through a program I dont want to watch in order to see the original characters. KEEP THEM SEPARATE!

Discovery and History channels have made all their shows non interesting to watch. 50% of the "New" shows are all replayed scenes and "recollections". I can't even watch shows when they air because I can't stand to watch 35 minutes of commercials for an hour show. Many have lost interest in the channel all together. Disappointing

I am watching discovery channel in india, their is a program coming in this channel i.e Man Women #MeToo, i am totally offended by this program, how this channel can simply speak against indian men.
I am promising that i'll register a case in 1 of the indian high courts against this program very soon.

I just can't understand why you would want to cancel this program! They're real people doing honest things in life. Yet you will keep naked and afraid (the commercials turned me off, never saw it!] Yet you will keep the Alaskan Bush people! I could go on and on about your poor program choices. Please rethink this cancellation!

I don't have a major problem with the show. I love it. I just think the show should be renamed simply Browntown. Thank you. I also think that Bird should grow up and realize that the animals are raised to be harvested. I find it hard to believe that someone raised in the bush would not know better.

I HATE these shows and the commercials! TLC is The Learning Channel, not the Let's Watch Stupid [censored]es Try to Find Some Idiot to Marry Them Channel! What are we supposed to learn here? Get back to entertainment and teaching. I am going to watch another channel, bc even the ads are too LOUD!

Scott Wolper already proved that the alien artifacts in Central Mexico are a complex hoax, and the guys on Contact talk to the same hoaxers as Scott met with in the caves.
Terrible programming choice.

I think you should drop this trash and keep The Last Alaskans. Its a fantastic show about Real people doing real everyday things and a much more meaningful program. Its educational as well and thats what we need in programs for television. More people like The Last Alaskans than Naked and Afraid aka Butt Nude and Scared. Please keep the program.

Today I watch Naked and Afraid for the first time. You people show way way too many commercials. I understand that the promotion is part of your corporate makeup for business however it is way way too frustrating for the viewer of your channel. That was my first and last time watch a discovery. Thank you

This is one of your best shows. Very educational and enjoyable. Please keep this show and bring back Port Protection and the People who live on Great Slave Lake. You would do a disservice to cancel TLA. You could do a favor by cancelling ABP.

Please do not cancel the last Alaskans. The show is absolutely outstanding. It's one of your best. It's tv back to its finest. With all the scammers on television today it's so refreshing to have a show like the last Alaskans.

The obnoxious shark week commercial that has animals screaming shark through out your home every ten minutes for a month. It ridiculous and annoying. Please think about the length of time you run these commercials.

since you had taken over the much liked position of the travel channel. I see you've never showed much Ray Mears and nothing at all of the booze traveler. Everything you show is about garages or Alaska. It's getting very boring. I only every now turn over to watch bear grylls. Tanked... Really? Who cares its American crap. Leave that to them..

What are the imbeciles thinking when folks like us, paying extra to get Velocity (now MotorTrend TV) from our service provider (in our case AT&T U-Verse), then asking to sign up and pay again monthly to stream content on demand?
Pathetic.
I am nearing the end of my tolerance for pay twice to play and will be dropping Discovery HD Tier soon.

I enjoy certain shows on Discovery however the commercials have become so frequent I cannot even follow what is going on. It is very sad that you make it so obvious that advertising dollars are far more important to you than the actual shows you produce. This will eventually destroy your viewer ship if not fixed post haste...

I live in Perth West Australia, and was just watching an episode of Aussie gold hunters that was advertised as a new episode, but when I was watching the "NEW EPISODE " I realized that I've seen this "NEW EPISODE " Before. So I want to know when the real NEW EPISODE is going to be televised? Also I don't appreciate being LIED too.

Far to much display of a foreign flag and foreign currency etc. for a tv show filmed in Canada about mining Canadian minerals.
Far to little display of a Canadian flag and Canadian money in business transactions on Canadian soil.
I believe it may border on un Canadian or even illegal.
