Just finished the first episode of "Top Shot" on the History Channel, pretty disappointed.  I was really looking forward to the show, I figured it'd be a lot of shooting and a lot of cool guns.  It was just History Channel's attempt at a reality show.  Too much fake drama, not enough shooting!

Not surprising for History channel to pull off yet another disappointing show.  I was looking forward to it too.

Survived the storm there oak?  Had some tornado warnings west of here but storm moved through without too much pizazz, tomato plants are bent a little but just more rain.

No tornado.  We had a storm early in the morning and about around 9 tonight. A total of 1.5 inch for the day.  I do not think the wheat harvest will be good this year.  What kind of tomato are you growing?

I think I just put in globe tomatoes, first year trying and they've had some rough days so far.

Just watched the episode tonight - what a load of crap!  They had an ex-marine (IIRC, Mike) that couldn't hit his target at 50 yards with a 1903 Springfield!  A Marine that can't hit a target at 50 yards with a rifle?!  You gotta be kidding me!  And these guys were supposed to be "top  shooters"?!?!

All these new reality shows are, IMHO, scripted, and rather boring. They do occasionaly come across a very interesting object, but normaly go over cheap americana. For example, I watched an episode of Pawn Stars tonight, and a man brought in a Spanish gold coin. This coin was valued at over 18 thousand dollars, and could have had much more elaborated about its history, but recieved a whopping 5-8 minutes (max.) of the show's airtime. Most of the shows time was taken up by a high torque motorbike from less than 40 years ago.

Atleast its better than Ice-Swamp-Crab-Logger.
