Okay, so I know that it has been...*ahem* a while, since my last post, but I have been busy with school (which I am no longer in) and work and such, but perhaps now I may be able to post a bit more regularly. So, as a return of sorts, I feel like I should review a TV show that has irked me a little bit since I found out about it's existence: Man Tracker. For those who have never heard of this massive mound of crap, Man Tracker is about a guy who wishes he was Grizzly Adams riding around on horse back with some partner of his, attempting to "track" two "runners" who are trying to "escape" "Man Tracker" to get to a "safe zone". "Now, Richard," you may ask, "why did you use so many quotation marks to describe this clearly marvelous show?" Well, the answer is simple: I don't believe in any of the crap portrayed in this hour long circle-jerk of a series.
This Man Tracker guy claims to be able to follow the tracks of two people that are trying to make it to a finish line before he catches them. Of course there is some sort of prize for the contestants if either of them finishes, but it is probably just some form of mouth sex from Man Tracker's horse. The problem I have is that the runners have a full camera crew running along with them. Yes, a full crew. Two camera operators, a boom mix guy, and probably a director. The contestants are usually people that have some sort of background in something that has no real tie to evading crazed Canadian mountain men that can follow your foot prints, such as a black belt in Karate, or being Australian (yes, they were actually in an episode together). But, giving the benefit of the doubt, as I usually always do, I figure that maybe they can really get away from Walker, Canadian Ranger and his sidekick/bar tender CD. But really, this whole camera crew thing really shatters the possibility of ever believing in this show (much like a Ghost Hunter's review I will probably do in the near future). It is obvious that the title character goes out of his way with HIS camera crew to follow the footprints of these escapees, but I am certain that he is just man tracking the people whose careers lead nowhere after the Blair Witch Project and are now stuck holding equipment for the Science Channel forever.
Perhaps, if the "creative geniuses" behind this show did more of a "runners hold the cameras while being mic'ed" set up, I could get behind this show a little bit more, and believe that the Predator actually has some sort of convict-in-the-woods-catching ability. Maybe. And that is a big maybe. Until then, He is just a Canadian meth addict on a horse, with a Native American sidekick, both of which poke the ground and pretend to know what their doing.
