I never understand why people take documentaries as gospel. They are usually fairly interesting and can provide some good insight, but there is always a bias and almost always money behind the project.
Oh and you guys are talking about reality shows more or less, not documentaries. They are fun and entertaining, but too much staging goes on. Reality show.Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

Mythbusters a documentary? My god, the world is getting stupider by the second. Entertainment yes, documentary no.
Watch anything by Adam Curtis and then come back into this thread and talk about documentaries. I recommend something like "The Power Of Nightmares" as a whimsical light hearted introduction to the mans work followed by "The Trap" to fully suck you into his bleak, cynical, yet surprisingly charming world.Comment

It's because a documentary has to form a thesis or an opinion of its own. without that you just have a bunch of clips that would make it boring as hell.. even the national geographic ones try to make a statement, despite being a bit dull and not as over the top as current doc films.
It is humorous seeing people take them as absolute fact and indisputable. Just because they have to back up their claims with some evidence doesn't mean that the evidence isn't weak or completely circumstantial. I still enjoy watching them, but I use them as an inspirational tool to read more on the subject myself and come to my own conclusions, a practice that is a dying art form I would imagine.webmaster at pimproll dot comComment

I will watch almost any documentary about WWII, especially while burning a fat joint on a cold Sunday afternoon. That's what I call a good time.Adult Copywriters

Have seen the first 5 episodes now - entertaining, but damn those guys are a bunch of morons.
The fat guy who runs the place with his father is a lazy fuck.
The father is a fucking freak.. looks and sounds like some guy taken out of an old Disney movie or something.
The guy with the long beard should have his ass handed to him for the way he talked to his way.. a wonder she didn't leave him yet.
I love the mechanic though - a really nice guy who sacrifices himself way too much for this.Comment

I like the new show Deception that started last night and of course I watch all the others listed. Some of these shows are definitely scripted if you read some of the blogs from the stars in it especially DC, this season is not the best one but its hard to be the same show after losing some of the important people.
Here is a short list:
Deadliest Catch
Swords
Swamp People
Ice Road Truckers
Pawn Stars
American Pickers
Dual Survival
Most any show on NatGeo or NatGeoWild
Dog Bounty HunterComment
