Review of American Gold: The Legend of Bear Gulch

The miners are likeable and you want to root for them but you quickly see the producers are dedicated to slow playing this beyond all reason. DVR it and use the fast forward 5 minute feature to speed through each episode. Trust me, you won't miss anything. Any real progress in the mining usually shows up at the end if they actually move the story at all. Note to Producers: Stop rehashing the myth and the family flashbacks for 90% of the show and actually show some mining. Another idea: If they are so short on cash and the old mine tailings are so gold rich they can entice new investors, why not set up a sluice and rerun some tailings? Opps, I forgot, reality is the only thing missing from reality shows. Oh, let's add that if you think people who criticize this shows shortcomings are whiney please explain your personal or family connections to this show and don't try to deny them. No one will believe you.
