I have not watch an episode since midway in the first season because it was not my "thing" and because they drag out and repeat everything and exaggerate so much.

However I must ask did they ever find anything of note?

The Wikipedia article still says no treasure has been found.

HWMBO has been watching that and a bunch of other conspiracy/hidden treasure/illuminati-type shows. He used to also watch those quasi-real life ones like the gold diggers in Alaska. They're so repetitive! intro-problem-commercial break-more intro-rehash of problem-more problems-commercial break...rinse-and-repeat. I just roll my eyes and vacate the room.?ÿ

I know what you mean, and when watching those I can feel life draining out of me. Haven't watched more than a few hours of TV each year for the past ten years or so.

The western concert music canon is based on the same formulaic repetition. ?ÿNot that I'm equating the two genres.?ÿ ??ÿ

That's how you take 5 minutes of content and make it fill an hour time slot of programming.?ÿ

There should be a special prize for the stupidest and most nauseating reality TV show and I'm certain that the Alaska themed shows would place in the top.?ÿ

So this show has been on since January of 2014 and they have not found a bloody thing??ÿ

How can they possibly still be making shows and even more is how can there possibly be more than 2 total viewers in the entire world?

I watch the show every now and then, and they find just enough artifacts that if you made a fortune in Oil and Gas, and have a boyhood dream it's enough to justify?ÿ and keep investing money for the search. People have been looking for a treasure on Oak Island since late 1800's. At this point in his life?ÿMarty Lagina is spending his kids inheritance, if I was him and it was my boyhood dream I would keep looking, why go to the grave not knowing if you have the means to find out.?ÿ

I took a quick look at its ratings. It's still often the top rated cable show for its time slot unless there's a game on.

There are STILL people watching the Kardashians (sp?) though.?ÿ I have a niece who is obsessed with them.?ÿ I have no idea why, but she is.
