Man, Woman, Wild is a great survival show. There is just the right amount of enthusiasm and energy, without being absurd and over-the-top like Man Vs. Wild. A little more up-beat than Survivorman, it nonetheless features many fantastic survival tips not featured in other survival shows. The dichotomy between Myke and Ruth is what makes the show fun to watch. The two both have much to add, but obviously Myke has a lot more knowledge and expertise in the field of survival. Personally I love the stoic Survivorman, show, which I feel like this closely emulates because it features realistic tips and exercises that one could take into the field (as opposed to Bear Grylles who often does absurdly dangerous stunts and feats that only a super-athlete could do while in survival mode--killing the rest of us instantly). Over-all a very enjoyable hour of television every time. I'll miss the show!

Kyle XY
(2006–2009)
Fantastic fun! (For a family show)
8 September 2007
Kyle XY is one of those shows that can pull you into it very, very well. Unfortunately, because of the plot, it would be best to watch from the beginning. This is rather easily done however, since the show's first season is available on DVD. The characters are all very believable. While there may be a few cheesy "Full House" like moments in the show, these in my opinion add to the family quality of the show. Not quite as action packed as say "Heroes," but equally involving, Kyle XY delves deep into ethics, psychology and drama. I get a very strong sense of tension, love and compassion from the characters in "Kyle XY." Definitely a good way to spend a Monday Night, other than Monday Night Football, which happens to be in the off season during KYLE XY's run. All in all, it is an ABC Family show, and so one can expect the mushy, cheesy moments, but this should not deter any viewer, as they are few and far between, and the plot, characters and acting are all phenomenally done.
