Television Survivorman
on the Discovery Channel every Thursday at 9 P.M. is a
documentary series revolving around a Canadian, Les Stroud, who
repeatedly puts himself in live-or-die situations without any
backup plan. Stranded in remote parts of the world without food,
water or shelter, Stroud only has his wit and stamina to live
through a seven-day ordeal and survive. Stroud’s idea of a
nature outing is a little different from yours and mine. He takes
off alone to the punishing corners of the world with nothing but a
few cameras to document his (often miserable) experiences. From
the frozen Arctic pack ice to the fetid jungles of Central
America, Survivorman highlights Stroud’s extraordinary
self-reliance and survival skills. Crackpots on the
loose A
wacky series that guarantees to give a bellyache of laughter, Whose
Life Is It Anyway? returns with an all-new season on Star
World every Friday at 8.30 P.M. This American series is based on a
British show of the same name and hosted by Drew Carey. The
largely unscripted hit game show sees a set of comedians devise
sketches, impersonations and songs based on random topics
determined by an equally playful audience. Ever wonder what an
excitable dog would do on a Let’s Make a Date TV show? Or
an astronaut with an alien inside him? And what would a newscast
be like if the anchors were smart-aleck school kids showing off in
class? The spaced-out cast of quick-thinking regulars includes
Emmy winner Wayne Brady, Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and other
stars in one hilariously hot-wired situation after another. — NF
