Evidently they will put anyone with a wacky idea or theory (or a whole season's worth of wacky theories) in front of a TV camera and give him a voice. I was channel surfing this morning and I happened upon a show called Missing In Alaska. The premise of the show is that there is an Alaskan Triangle where during a certain time of year 5 out of every 1,000 people go missing, most of those never to be seen or heard from again.
The three "investigators"- Jax, Ken Gerhard, and Tommy Joseph- have researched aall sorts of local legends in search of missing people. Some of these local legends include a mermaid type creature, the otter man, and Alaskan monkeys that could possibly be eating people. Whenever the Jax, Ken, and Tommy find anything resembling "evidence", they pull out high tech gadgets, have experts test their samples, interview locals about the legends, give historical examples of sightings, and present their wacked out theories. Jax is usually skeptical, Ken always believes, and Tommy is never sure. At the end of the show, they have no confirmation of anything and they move on to something else.
I believe Animal Planet should give me and Molly a camera crew and they could follow us around on our daily walks. They could watch Molly take a healthy one on the neighbor's yard while I hide around the corner, we could "investigate" which dogs took a dump in our yard (my money is on that white flea bag that lives in the house through the woods), and we could investigate what happened to that rabbit the other night. The only traces left of the rabbit where tufts of fur scattered in a small circle in my yard near the woods. I am almost afraid to find out what tore into the rabbit but my guess is a more reasonable theory of Fluffy, the neighbor's cat. I have not learned yet how to come up with off the wall, wacked out theories yet.
