Discovery Channel Street outlaws show

My husband and I really love watching a majority of the shows your channel provides and are big fans and followers of your channel. But we are extremely upset that the street Outlaws show isn't airing anymore, we live watching the Memphis street Outlaws but wish that the street Outlaws show with chief also aired weekly also! Please please consider doing both programs of the street Outlaws, we would LOVE to have a weekly airing of Memphis and the one chief is on. Separate nights would be preferable for each of the shows. Please please bring the show with chief and his crew back!

VERY SINCERELY,
Huge, devote followers and fans .

I have watched every episode of every franchise of Street Outlaws from the beginning . Love the idea of a America top 20 list and should persevere with that idea along with the " no prep kings ", in my opinion the two best street outlaw versions . Also do not leave OKC out of ant major shows because it is not only a joke but not watchable without Big Chief, Daddy Dave and Ryan Martin not competing for any title that includes fastest or best .

Original street outlaws 405 is sad. Why is the list changed or a “shake up” only when Big Chief isn’t #1. He is the race master and a sore loser. He always changes something when he doesn’t have the crown! Follow the shows and you will see.

Steven well said. I watched Street Outlaws since the beginning and just when I finally had enough, Discovery made the best decision for the show by getting rid of Big Chief. I saw right through his cry baby B.S. from the beginning. If Discovery brings him back, I can guarantee you a lot of fans will stop watching Street Outlaws. Mark my words, if Discovery brings back Big Chief, it will be the beginning of the end of Street Outlaws.

Street Outlaws Memphis East of time, Birmingham not real street racers can’t win unless JJ cheats. This new show fastest in America is fixed. Can’t be fastest when the winner of the NPK Ryan Martin is not on it. OKC is still the best, NOLA was good suggest replace Memphis with Texas. I can’t watch this travesty of the fake “Fastest in America” when some of the fastest cars Ryan Martin, Big Chief, Vixen, Ax Man not even representing and so fixed that Memphis gets automatic buy to finial it’s because they can’t beat Bird Man and Ky Kelley. Discovery should be ashamed allowing g this to air. Down with Memphis!

Discovery Channel fried chicken

I am proposing that discovery channel start up a challenge between new Zealand and Australia as there is strong rivalry between both countries, I an proposing we try and find which country out of the 2 has the best fried chicken, both countries love their KFC but that's all they have in the main stream so let's go out and find the best fried chicken or fried chicken recipe, people love food especially fried food.

Discovery Channel discovery familia

I'm sick and tired of listening to my commercials in Spanish. I did not sign up for this so why am I subjected to this? Isn't this still America? I understand if I subscribed to a Spanish specific channel but I have not. I'm a full advocate that if you are in the United States then you should be at least able to speak the language when you live. Sorry if I sound too harsh but I'm just so exhausted with everything having to also be in Spanish especially if I haven't subscribed to it. Thank you for your time.

Discovery Channel discovery networks advertising

I watch Discover networks with my 9 year old son. lately I have noticed many ads for Juul E-Cigarettes and now I have to explain to my son that even though they are advertised as "good" during our TV shows - E cigarettes are potentially deadly for him.

Discovery Networks - your programming is the best! You stimulate curiousity for millions of children and adults, by doing this you improve our lives. Please stop working with Juul or and similar companies that are trying to sell our children a product that is intentionally designed to be addictive and that will ultimately kill them.

Thank you,
Brian Weigel

Discovery Channel no closed caption for many programs

I would like to know the name of the executive that hired their retarded nephew to talk all during the shows I'm watching. Serengeti, Forged in Fire, Deadliest Catch etc. I have to watch these shows with the mute on just so that I don't blow my brains out. I'm trying to watch Serengeti but no CC is available. How stupid is that. You have a [censored] talking a ten thousand words a minute but you can't offer CC? I hope your next colonoscopy goes very badly!

Discovery Channel deadliest catch & other tv shows on your channel

Having a second narrator describing the action & subtitles is truly annoying. Either I have to watch these shows without the sound or not watch them at all. Please advise as to the reason behind this new bizarre addition & if there is any way to rid these shows of it. I believe it should become an option such as closed caption. Having this foced upon us is totally irritating. Unless you are blind or bad eye sight, this is not neccessary.
Thank you

Discovery Channel removal of the last alaskans

I positively adored this show. It was healthy, a family show and it also was teaching people how to think and survive. The landscape of Alaska is beautiful, untainted by commercializim, factories and huge buildings. The people who took part in letting us watch their lives were so positive, smart and down to earth, it was a pleasure watching them and we are very grateful for their participation. Please reconsider bringing the show back.

Discovery Channel cancellation of the last alaskans

From the cast - who are the most real and humble of any show on television - to the crew - who are obviously dedicated to making this the absolutely best show it could be - to the most stunningly beautiful cinematography ever and the most serene, calming soundtrack, The Last Alaskans has been one of the only shows we always watch, don't delete from our DVR so we can watch it again and again, and the one show whose new seasons we look forward to with great anticipation. To cancel a show that is clearly made with love and is treasured by so many is beyond comprehension. I can only hope that with the deluge of messages of disbelief on Facebook, the growing number of signatures on petitions urging a change in this decision and the complaints submitted here will change this deeply unfortunate choice to cancel this one-of-a-kind television show.

Discovery Channel discovery channel, cancellation of the last alaskans

I have read "The Final Frontiersman" and was looking forward to another season of The Last ALASKANS.
This show endures. It is about lost values and humanity.
You cancel the show yet continue with Alaskan Bush People who are not even in Alaska.
Please, return to the Alaskan Refuge. We have watched the Korths and Seldons,
Bob Hart, Charlie Jagwo and others live in this precious area of Alaska which will soon be uninhabited. Please, return to Alaska

Discovery Channel cancellation of last alaska

This is one of the few quality shows on tv... cancellation is a travesty - a shameful decision in removing a show that brings knowledge, beauty and a new dimension into our homes. Makes me hesitate to watch anything on discovery !
Watching the last Alaskans has brought us into s new appreciation for people living off the land and a greater love in seeing the beauty of this world. With all the garbage reality shows on tv; this was a beacon of light!

Discovery Channel canceling program

I am very upset about the Cancellation of the TV show The Last Alaskans. It was one of the few programs we looked forward to seeing. In our estimation this was the best program on TV. Please reconsider doing away with this series that has become a big part of the American culture for so many of us. The positive public relations this show gave the discovery channel was by far more valuable than the cost of its production. It is a shame for any show with the kind of following this one has to be taken off the air when there are so many shows remaining that are absolutely ridiculous. Thank you for taking the time to hear our concern. We pray you do the right thing and continue producing The Last Alaskans

Discovery Channel the last alaskans show

Please bring back this show. It is the best show i have ever seen in my life. It made my life so much happier and peaceful, after all day going through anxiety and just sitting and enjoying the music, the views and the voices and advices of the people in this show your life changes for the better. I think i will never will be able to go to Alaska, but just imagining my life there, living that simple life makes so happy and just focused on my family. Please bring it back if it does not affect the life of the cast. Thank you for the past seasons and all the love you put into work.

Discovery Channel cancellation of the last alaskans

With so much fake and heavily produced "reality" TV, it's hard to find anything that's real anymore not to mention wholesome. The Last Alaskans was truly the only real reality show left. It was beautifully filmed and told such great stories while remaining true to the actual reality. The cinematography was stunning and the narrative soul-warming. It sounds cheesy, but I cannot tell you the peace I always felt watching the show. I am heartbroken that it has been cancelled. Watching those families live such natural, simple lives was beautiful and inspiring. I beg you to renew the show.

(Or at the very least, allow the purchase of the show on DVD so we can reroute it forever!)

Discovery Channel the last alaskans

Please know of the decision of cancellation of TLA was disheartening. With today's fake, ignorant, non family oriented, non entertaining shows now a days . My self and family really respected TLA for everything that it offered . Being a fellow Alaskan and offgrid owner really brought peace to us . Also depicted that people offgrid were not ignorant in all aspects. Such as "Alaskan bush people" which is just an absolute embarrassment to every Alaskan/ offgrid person! I'm really worried about today's society and also today's entertainment industry if that's the road we're headed down. We're hoping discovery channel realizes this travesty / mistake and can see which show should truly be cancelled. I know the amount of publicity this subject is getting, there's a true reason for this . Please reconsider and make this right ! Sincerely fellow offgrider. Thank you

Discovery Channel your commercials on demand suck!!!

You completely destroyed serengeti episode2 with you're [censored] and completely unwanted unending commercial crap! What a total shame? It looked like an awesome show until you got a hold of it! You just really suck as you have exceeded my threshold of ability to watch mindless advertisement to an extreme amount of evasion. I guess all I have to say to your boss is [censored] you! I know you can't say that to him, I would, guess that's why they wouldn't hire me to do that job as I have done similar jobs but pussies don't like to hear bad news. Do you have the balls to send this on to your superiors? Maybe somebody low level like the executive producer or director of serengeti? I dare you! If they have the balls to call me then send it baby! Stop on demand commercials! We already pay for commercial free service..,.. I thought? How much is commercial free tv gonna cost? It will be the end of you... Eventually you'll piss off enough people that your business will lose out, then change comes.
You're frustrated customer,
Jerry

Discovery Channel serengeti

I couldn't watch Discovery Channel's Serengeti for more than 5 minutes because of the black and white TV era narration. It describes male lions as ''jealously guarding females'' and ''demanding their faithfulness.'' WTV Discovery! This sounds like a hostage standoff on the local news where a man is holding his ex wife hostage while the SWAT team waits outside. How could you use such a dated and male centered commentary on such a beautifully photographed show? And did I mention dated! I watch a lot of wildlife shows and they usually describe what the animals are doing and why they are doing it, not ascribing human emotions and reasoning to the animals. The only shows I see that do that are shows about cartoon animals and talking dogs.

Discovery Channel serengeti

I was really looking forward to this show, as we spent the best two weeks of our lives on the Serengeti and surrounding areas. While the photography was everything to be hoped for, Discovery opted to create a ridiculous anthropomorphic soap opera out of the lives of the animals. Saying that a baboon "had to focus in order to win back his mate" ascribes human motivation to another species. Giving names to the animals is bad enough, but to then edit footage in order to create ridiculous story lines around them is unforgivable. We dropped the show after the first episode.

Having been on two Safaris, including one in the Serengeti, I also strongly disagree with the review which mocks ascribing human motivations to animals. In fact, current research indicates that animals have far more "human-like" feelings than was previously thought, and the extraordinary photography, which captured the closeness of the elephant mother to her baby, the zebra mother to hers, the lioness to hers, etc., was some of the most memorable and moving nature photography I have ever seen.
Don't let that first negative review discourage you from watching this entire series.

Discovery Channel serengeti show

You advertised the Serengeti show to start at 8pm. If you meant eastern time you should have advertised as such. Living on the west coast, and with no other indication on your ad, I thought is was advertised as pacific time. I have been looking forward to this for months now. Then, just by chance I turned to the Discovery channel at 5:40 PDT and Serengeti was over halfway through.

Discovery Channel the last alaskans

I'm very disappointed that you have decided not to renew The Last Alaskans, it is by far one of the best programs you have. In a time when other channels are shoving sex, nudity, language that my family does not care for, we needed a program that didn't glorify that. You have in my family's opinion made a big mistake, we are hoping you will reconsider this decision.

Discovery Channel discovery channel - cancellation the last alaskans

This is sad and a disgrace that Discovery would cancel a quality show like The Last Alaskans but renew the ridiculous Bush People. The audience cannot possibly be equal. There is enough "crap" on cable television. Very disappointed Discovery, does it matter, probably not. Hopefully another channel will pick up TLA. I will not be watching The Discovery Channel any longer.
