Anyone know what to the show Pirate Master? - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

My wife has been watching the show and she wanted me to set up the PVR and I can't find it anywhere. Apparently it was on last week too but did show up on the PVR. I thought it went away for a bit but now I'm stting to think that it isn't showing in Calgary for some reason (my mother in law couldn't find it either even though the TV guide said it was on).

Not a big deal just inquiring minds want to know.

Thank you kindly. Once again Calgarypuck knows all.

I am honestly suprised it took them this long to cancel it, I thought it was horrible!

Interesting idea, that was badly conceived and executed in the worst way.

Too bad

I think its time for a thinning of the old reality T.V. herd.

That's already happened. There are no more Joe Millionaire's, Temptation Island's, Love Cruise's, Playing it Straight's or Average Joe's on network tv.

What they need to thin out are the stupid talent competitions. And by thin out, I mean get rid of them all - American Idol, Canadian Idol, Dancing with the Stars, America's Got Talent, and all the other ones that are the same as the ones mentioned.

One of the cast members killed themselves this past Friday as well...

I think somebody could make a fortune pitching a remake of Fantasy Island as a complete contrast to the over-saturation of reality TV.

I don't mind the shows like Idol, or the dancing one, not involving the celebraties, because they show case actual legitimate talent.

But the other shows really go for the freak show quotiant, America has talent half the acts are fat guy Elvis look alikes, and we know that the winner is going to be a 12 year old girls singer.

I'd like to have real reality shows where people can die, like walking across a mine field, or swimming with the sharks. Or better yet carry a bag containing $10,000 through South Central Las Angeles at midnight.

Or put people with heart conditions on a treadmill and everytime they answer a question right they win money, but if they answer the question wrong the treadmill speeds up.

Has anyone ever read the Long Walk by Stephen King, that would make a fantastic T.V. show.
