Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom to be exact...

"Lets watch as Jim wrestles with the 20 foot Python in the swamp as Marlin watches from the shore..."

Jim was always face to face with dangerous creatures as Marlin was in complete safety. Steve Irwin had nothin' on Jim Fowler.

There was an article recently about "Man vs Wild". It's not exactly staged, but he's not roughing it either. He goes back to the posh hotel in the city every night.

I liked that show, till I heard the same info. too bad if its true, the guy was showing some cool stuff.

You have to look at it as an instructional video. The disclaimer says, something close to this, "Bear and the crew receive support in life theating situations as prescribed by law." and says something about help from the locals. I like it better than Survivor Man although Les is on his own, but he does have rescuers staged not to far away, incase he gets in trouble.

Never seen it, looks like it could be worth watching.
