Based on what i could find, it was the first show. I really enjoy Forged in Fire personally. I have been looking on-line to see if i could find that episode, but couldnt find anything. I will catch it at some time.

I have found that when MASTER is applied to a crafts person it has the most significant meaning when the customer/end-user applies it. Many apprenticeships today have a narrower focus because of the changing technology. While I am most appreciative of master chefs the term can be applied to many trades including mechanics, jewelers, electricians, plumbers, masons, hairdressers, and gunsmiths to name a few. As the number of masters is reduced the value of there skills will increase.

The kind of show being described, or at least prefigured by the posts of Brett and Brian, remind me of why I have never bothered to buy a TV, seeing enough of it in other people’s homes or on the tug boats I have worked on where in the common area it is on continuously.

I am reminded of WICKED TUNA, which show has publicized a sport/commercial fishery I have had some involvement in over several decades. It is not enough to highlight the talents of the participants in an extraordinary setting. No, they invariably have to be demeaned, ofttimes reduced to nattering gossipers or even portrayed at their most grotesque, intemperate worst. It just does not square with what I have known, but unfortunately probably does influence an emerging new standard of behavior.

I know ‘there is a lot of good stuff on TV”, but there is still enough of it that for me makes TV, to this day, a national embarrassment.

Hundreds and hundreds of channels and most just bounce between 3 or 4.

Wicked Tuna is so full of BS I can’t watch it. Reality tv topics I am familiar with it’s never satisfying, see all the errors & staged situations. Some are good though, try Ice Pilots, off Netflix, old equipment in extreme conditions. I don’t know enough about aviation to see the warts.

I also 'enjoyed' the comments on the 'unstable 45 Colt that eventually morphed into the 45 Auto', or words to that effect! The producers have the final say, I suppose. Jason Statham hired my brother to be his weapons coach when he made 'Mechanic Resurrection'. My brother said there were a couple times when his advice was trumped. He certainly had a good time, though!

Was watching the History Channel the other night with a series about Civil War battles. There again, in a new production were both armies shooting left-hand guns with the lock on the left and carrying their weapons on the wrong side. The actors portraying the 1st Virginia Infantry had to make those old soldiers turn over in their graves. Hat cocked sideways like a rapper, uniform for a man twice his size, Lieutenant standing in front of his men firing instead of behind the lines, smoking cigarettes, etc. No historical advisors or like you say they just ignore them. It was too much to take so I turned it off.

The channel is mostly crap now.

Wow! That’s quite a statement. You have never bought a TV?

TVs can be like pools or boats. Don’t own one, but have a friend who does.
