jarvise-87184 Any credibility this moron might have had was completely blown when he started in Hudson, Florida, hunting for the aprocryphal black Florida panther. He purportedly was searching the *Florida Everglades,* which happen to be hundreds of miles south of where the program was filmed. He never got anywhere near the Everglades. What's more, he builds a fire under a kayak and cooks clams for dinner! Speaking of asses, too bad he didn't *ass-phyxiate.* ... or worse, cause a wildfire. What a waste of air time, money and viewers' attention. We have so much work to do to improve the lot of wildlife. Please send your Animal Planet yahoos somewhere else. Florida already had Florida Man.
jla-56099 So sad that one of my favorite television programs recently aired with Forrest using profanity on what I thought was a family show. I moved 'Extinct or Alive' to the bottom shelf of my 'Watch No More' list. While In Taiwan in search of a purportedly extinct Formosa Clouded Leopard he happens upon one man, then another laying on the ground. He asks 'Who are these men?' 'Are they they drunk or on drugs?' Isn't he there as their country's guest? The U.S. has laws against being drugged or drunk in public; do we know if they do? Were they given a tutorial on these basics? He used profanity!! My heart sank to hear him sound off as though he was that country's leader! It seemed as though every other word he used was 'f...' and 'f..n'. How very sad this show aired! Perhaps many young people (and many more may be included from the various age brackets), this kind of unsavory language is not suitable for many audiences! I was offended! Even embarrassed for him! He is representative of us! I hope he personally does not have young people who look up to him. He disappointed in this episode. His expeditions are informative, educational & fun to watch. That will be missed. I give this program three strikes - he is out of my living room! Furthermore, he lied in this same episode stating the venomous pit viper the camera man was inches from walking on had no anti-venom available. According to Wikipedia, anti-venom is available in Taiwan for this venomous snake! Wow!! He said he does not exaggerate but not only did he do just that, he punctuated his information with a big lie on national television!!
lionsfan0975 I have to honestly say that each episode has me glued to my chair. Each episode goes so quick because it brings something new and is thoroughly entertaining. Not only am I entertained but I generally learn a thing or two from Forrest. Plus I believe what we see and hear can help people to believe in the chance of finding a supposed extinct species. I mean you never truly know and almost anything is possible. Each episode focuses on one particular animal that has been determined to be extinct. So they go there to research and look for the animal with the hopes of getting evidence that they exist still. If they are able to get evidence and they can provide funding to assist the animal to stay alive. Along the way Forrest will also find other animals that you can see and learn about too. Hopefully most people that watch will at least slightly change their ways for the betterment of the planet and our wonderful animals. It's sad to see how many living things have gone and will continue to go extinct due to humans.The show is fantastic and they all deserve kudos for a job well done.Forrest you are the man!! Keep it up!! Props to the crew and everyone behind the scenes too! You all make it happen! Lastly, thanks to Animal Planet for having this kind of programming!!!
dextershepherd I had high hopes for this series. Unfortunately, it's in line with all the finding Big Foot, river monsters, etc. shows that lead one to believe they will eventually provide some shred of definitive evidence. Sadly, it's disappointing at best. They use a drone with Infra-red sensors. Why not fly the drone in closer to actually obtain footage? Because it isn't there. CGI? Like a National Geographic version of Paranormal Activity. Don't waste your time.
