Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

verlindabrown I watch Buying Alaska and Living Alaska. First a family on Buying Alaska bought a home. At the end of the show they showed the family and friends playing cards in the home's basement. A new episode of Living Alaska just appeared and this couple was looking at the exact same house which was still for sale. Now I am wondering if any of these families are actually buying the homes. The buying Alaska episode appeared last season. I can't believe the family moved in and out in less than a year. The episode was memorable because the previous episode they showed a lamp with real deer feet as the stand. The husband loved it and asked for it to be part of the deal. The episode on Living Alaska showed the same basement, neighbor's house, lake and the deer lamp. I will be really disappointed if the families are not buying these homes. I also would like to know how many families moved out of Alaska after buying their home.

nabrown-31474 Thank ya all for your information on it not being "reality". I guessed this as they are so expensive and I had to wonder how some of these people afford $200,000 plus homes. I also questioned buyers choosing one, when as another viewer said, there is usually only one that comes close to their needs. I would say thanks and keep looking! I also wondered about schooling for children and the travel to schools but since it isn't real, that solves that question. Still interesting as I love seeing the scenery and looking at the houses. I live in Texas and enjoy learning about Alaska but don't think we will be moving there anytime soon. I like guessing which one they will "buy". Wish it was "real" but today, what really is?

dartleyk another mostly staged 'reality' show structured around the most implausible premise: that people will travel miles through the bush, take long boat rides, plane rides, to look at house not knowing how much it costs; no one does that; but the idea is you'll be watching, then, finally, the question arises- how much is it- then cut to commercial and you'll stay to find out; but too often the top end budget is, for example, 300k, and after seeing a few dogs under the limit there's the nice one they like- for 450k; then there are the majestic mountainside homes sporting endless vistas in all direction- and some very nice scenery for sure- turns out on a 1/4-acre lot? given the alaskan setting, the show also suffers form dwelling on decor, and endless versions of 'i really like that kitchen', or 'not enough closets'- instead of details about structure, heating, insulation and more that are unusual in much of alaska; supposedly, buyers are motivated to be in an unusual and challenging place, but you'd never know it from the empty-headed, scripted comment

junkexpress I love this show. Glimpses of amazing Alaska and amusing couples looking for a "second home" make the show worth watching. I didn't notice the guitars, etc. I am almost ready to move to Alaska...until I hear about the snow and the only way into some of the towns during winter is by plane or snowmobile only. Unfortunately, it looks like Discover/Destination America has chosen not to renew the show. Too bad. I enjoyed the peek into the homes. But, I must thank the originators of the show, I learned a lot. Who knew that you had to tighten up a log home. Alaska is one gorgeous place. And this show really shows that off. Highly enjoyable.
