Discovery Channel's The Colony

If you're not watching anything on Tuesday nights at 10 pm, you should definitely check out the Discovery Channel's new reality series The Colony. Essentially an "experiment" in which ten people try to survive in a post-apocalyptic America, the series features engaging participants from various professions trying to create a society without much of our modern conveniences, the most entertaining aspect being how quickly these participants adapt to their circumstances, as if the situation was real. They already have genuine fear and anger toward the fake bike gang/marauders who pretend to break into the colony to steal supplies. The show also benefits, like any other good reality series, from male eye candy. George, the doctor, and Joey, the contractor/ex-con are both worthy of some attention. Anyway, I really recommend the show. It's a hundred times better than Bravo's Tuesday night reality programs, Miami Social and NYC Prep. The casts of both of those series need to be put on a bus and driven over a cliff. Yeesh.
