Alaska-The Final Frontier..the Kilcher Family. Great show - Kraniac - 11-24-2014
I LOVE this show.
the Family, the mechanics of living there..Otto is funny, tough, smart, creative and very funny..the guy cracks me up..everything about this show makes smile and sometimes shed a tear or two. Im feeling that the show is fairly natural..doesn't seem to be any real drummed up drama going with the production..it's about living in a tough part of the world and that's enough.
Did you guys know that this is Jewel's (the blond haired singer who had mega hits in the 90's) Family? she grew up there. she's the Daughter of Atz, Otto's Brother, who watches the cattle at the head of the bay..
It's all kept pretty quiet..never a mention of her
She didn't want to participate and the show lives on mightily...wonderful stuff.

I enjoy it, too !!!!!!!!!!! I think I began to watch it around the time I started watching N*ked and Afraid - which is an interesting character study show on the same channel. LyleH

There's quite a bit of fluff in the show to make things look a lot harder than they really are. What they depict is about how things were 50 years ago when I was growing up there. It's a LOT different now. Their homestead isn't far out of Homer, where Jewel went to school. Now days Homer is a Liberal cesspool, but it's also a big tourist and sport fishing playground.

a liberal cesspool?
God.
Well, at least Sarah Palin's not swinging' it down in Homer.
I don't mind a little bit of fluff, it's expected..those folks work hard, I have no doubt about that. they seem like a solid bunch of folks. I like em.

Cesspools, both liberal and conservative, are to be stayed out of.

Jewel said she grew up in a quaint drinking village with a fishing problem.

Oh me, that's a good one!
miley-laughing001:I like this show too. My favorite family though is the one in Alaska with about 5-6 kids all working hard to just make it and live the life they want. Wha's the name? I forgot, but I really like them. Remember, they bought a big boat, then hit a log or something and destroyed all they had. But, they make it!! Paid for dental work for a daughter with salmon. Now, I just love that! A great dentist to understand the Alaskan culture he works with.
I just love this kind of stuff. But, I turn off those shows when all you can hear is bleeping because the people don't know how to talk without cussin'. Low level. But, I love shows that present a lot of nature. Not nary none of that nekkid mess either. Whew, talking about low level... hehehehehehe
