Reply 1683#1683 codebreaker's post

You can do all those you listed - only abouts for reality shows please.  I checked & though I would classify 30 days as a reality show, the episode guides could be helpful, as it doesn't seem to be a show one needs to see every epi to follow.  You're correct - I had forgotten to remove LA Ink from the list - I have done so now.

I'm not sure what you mean by only finding one clickable source for Pulse.  I found quite a few - IMDB, tv.com, wikipedia, as well as the official site.  

Thanks.

About 30 Days


30 Days premiered on FX on June 15, 2005



About the Show:
In 30 Days, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock brings to the small screen issues both social and political. It is an experiment that examines the ways we think, the morals we hold and the truths we believe, to see how we use and challenge those beliefs to mold us both individually and as a society.

30 Days puts ordinary people in a world opposite of the one they know, trying to challenge their comfort zones and examine their biases as they never have before. The show follows a 24-year-old farm boy as he spends 30 days living with a gay roommate in the heart of San Francisco. Spurlock himself gets in front of the camera when he and his girlfriend Alex give up the luxury of the house they know and try and make it living on minimum wage for 30 days. An American-born Christian pushes his level of comfort when he takes 30 days out of his life to live with a Muslim family outside of Detroit in a culture he can't understand.

Spending 30 days living in someone else's shoes is not as easy as one would think and can dramatically change the way we think and live more than one would understand.

Season 1



Episode 1. Minimum Wage
For the first episode host Morgan Spurlock and his fiancée Alex will find out what it is like to live on minimum wage in a country based on wealth. They will uproot themselves from the financial security of their New York City home and move to a struggling Columbus, Ohio, neighborhood for 30 Days. They will have to work at multiple minimum wage jobs just to make ends meet. The couple will experience everything from searching for a place to stay with no income, to what it's like scrapping to afford the basic daily essentials. They will learn the struggle of having to decide on whether to spend money on food or medicine when Alex gets sick (not to mention the money they will lose when she takes time off of work). Their effort to make ends meet is stretched to the limit when Morgan’s nieces come to live with him so he can understand first hand what it’s like to feed and support a whole family living on a measly $5.15 an hour.

Episode 2. Anti-Aging
A 34-year-old former college athlete turned couch potato who is battling middle-age, goes on a strict workout routine and anti-aging drugs for 30 Days to try and reverse the aging process and put some zing back into his life. How will it impact his mood, his marriage, his career, his long-term health, and his outlook on life? His program will be administered by an anti-aging specialist and his health will also be monitored by a general practitioner and a fertility expert. While on the drug therapy he will work out with a trainer, a cardio expert and follow a nutritionist’s plan, as he tries to recapture the glory days of his youth.

Episode 3. Muslims and America
Dave Stacy is a practicing Christian whose mind conjures up images of women in robes and men at war whenever he thinks of the Muslim religion. He has agreed to go to Dearborn, MI, the most concentrated population of Muslim Americans in the country, to see if he can learn more about a culture he is convinced is founded on violence. He will spend 30 days living in a Muslim home, follow all the food and clothing customs, daily study the Qur'an, and grow a beard. Dave will get a hands on education of what the Muslim culture is all about and the stereotypes that American Muslims face every day.

Episode 4. Straight Man in a Gay World
Ryan Hickmott is a God-fearing 24-year-old conservative from Oxford, Michigan, a town of less then 4000 people. He agrees to travel outside his comfort zone to defeat and defend some of his stereotypes of the gay community. His journey takes him to San Francisco's Castro district to live with roommate Ed Coller in what is notoriously known as one of the gayest areas of the country. As he works a job that caters to gay clientele, and attends gay-friendly church services, he gets an inside view of what it is like to live as part of a minority that still elicits strong feelings of hatred among many Americans. Throughout the 30 Days, he makes friends he never thought he would, learns things he didn't realize he didn't know, and realizes that some of the ideals he has been raised with may not be completely his. He will have his Bible-rooted values severely challenged as this important issue becomes very personal.

Episode 5 Off the Grid
Two 30-year-old "typical Americans" – i.e., ravenous consumers of fossil fuels -- learn to live without natural resources. Vito, a club bouncer, and Jahari, an event planner, get a tough lesson in taking things for granted. To do this, they'll move to Dancing Rabbits, an 'eco village' in Missouri that is 100% OFF THE GRID as they have no access to the power that comes from the usual grid of power and phone lines that run above our heads. As they set up house in a former 3,000-bushel grain bin, they will sustain themselves on clean power such as solar and wind. There are only 3 rules that they must follow: 1) say goodbye to fossil fuels, 2) work as members of the community helping out with everything from the backbreaking work in the farm to cooking vegan meals and 3) recycling everything, including their own waste! To follow these rules they will have live in a mostly car-free culture, grow and eat only organic foods and conserve their water use with solar showers and rain-catch systems. The only cars they drive are run on natural diesel they get from vegetable oil that must be hand cranked to fill the tank. Life takes a drastic change for these two partying New Yorkers.

Episode 6. Binge Drinking Mom
A mother concerned about her 19-year-old daughter's alcohol consumption agrees to binge drink for 30 Days to try to get through to her daughter Jessica, who feels that drinking is done to get drunk and is having no effect on her life as a college student. Michiel wants her daughter to see what kind of impact drinking can have on a life. In a boozed-up Freaky Friday scenario, the daughter will see her mother drunk, vomiting, and hung over. For 30 days she will have to drink at least four nights a week, and on those nights she must drink a minimum of 4 drinks in two hours to really have the effect of binge drinking. She is hoping this will make an impact on her daughter as Jessica makes decisions about the tough social choices she faces every day in college. The mother, on the other hand, will become more aware of the enormous social and cultural pressure to drink that kids face every day of their college careers.

About Survivor


Survivor premiered on CBS on May 31, 2000



About the Show:
"Survivor" is one of the most popular reality TV shows of all-time. Each season for 39 days, 16-20 castaways will be marooned on a tropical island in various locations. They will be forced to band together and carve out a new existence, using their collective wits to make surviving, without any conveniences of the modern world, a little easier. Day by day the location and tropical sun will test the endurance of the castaways.

Each three days of island life will result in a one-hour Survivor episode. The survivors must form their own cooperative island society, building shelter, gathering and catching food, and participating in contests for rewards. Those who succeed in the day-to-day challenges will be rewarded with things to make island life more bearable-simple comforts like pillows, food, cold beer and sodas, and clean clothing. Those who fail must do without. On the last day of each three-day cycle, the castaways must form a tribal council. At this meeting, each person places a secret ballot vote to send one fellow castaway home, eliminating him or her from eligibility for the one million dollars.

Week by week, one by one, the tribe shrinks until at the end of the final episode, only two survivors remain. At that point, the seven most recently eliminated castaways will return to form the final tribal council and decide who will be the final soul survivor and the winner of $1,000,000 dollars.

About Deadliest Catch


Deadliest Catch premiered on Discovery Channel on April 12, 2005



About the Show:
It's the world's deadliest job-where a man could die every week-the most macho of manly occupations: the Alaskan crab fisherman. Deadliest Catch features the wild and treacherous life of the crab fisherman.

This dramatic series will document the end of an era-what veteran crab fishermen are calling "The Last Rodeo." The first season documents the last time race, as it is the last season where they are pitted against the clock.

Later seasons contains a less action packed theme, and delves deeper into the lives and minds of those on the boats. We follow the crews through laughter and sorrow while on the hunt for crab.

The series is dedicated to the brave men and women lost at sea, and to the families they left behind. And to Phil Harris, the captain of the Cornelia Marie, who died on February 9, 2010.

Warning: This show is not scripted, and every injury and/or death appearing is real. Take note of this if you are viewing it with children and/or people sensitive to blood and graphic scenes.

I can smell it now.

Dirty Jobs premiered on Discovery Channel on July 26, 2005



About the Show:
Stuck in a dead-end job? Daydreaming about a new career? Combing through the classifieds for your next calling? Well, what about these jobs?

Roadkill Collector: Must be able to work long hours braving oncoming traffic while picking up creatures of various size and breed and in various states of decay. Benefits include working outdoors. Strong stomach a plus.

Catfish Noodler: In search of people who can catch potentially 100-pound catfish with their hands only. Must not mind sticking limbs in holes in search of game and getting bitten as a result.

Welcome to Dirty Jobs, the new Discovery Channel series that profiles the unsung American laborers who make their living in the most unthinkable — yet vital — ways.

Not one to just stand by, each week, Rowe will assume the duties of the jobs he's profiling, working alongside rattlesnake catchers, fish processors, bee removers, septic-tank technicians and other professionals: average folks tackling extraordinary tasks that simply must get done.

Reply 1700#1700 codebreaker's post

The episode guide for Miami Medical has already been done - I just have to post it.  You can do the about, if you don't mind, and the about & guide for Lost Girl.  For now, stop there until I can catch up with getting things posted.  Apparently some of the ones you've done were already completed & I hadn't posted them, so I need to go through the thread and make sure of what still needs doing.  

As for the Pulse about - both are good.  I suggest trying to put the information about the show from both into one (or I can edit it that way), to fill it out a bit more.
