I was extremely disapointed with that episode; all they did was televise negative - actions by some residents of that village.

I was hoping for some positive aspects of that wonderful community.


The episode was Alaska State Troopers - tisk tisk tisk!!

Ummm. Don't take this the wrong way.

But, what would you expect from a Law Enforcement program? They only show the "bad" things that happen as those are the things that elicit a Law Enforcement Response.

As the saying goes, everyone loves to see a fireman, and hates to see the police.

I have always like Bethel, but showing the good folks there would take away from the "Criminal" element that the TV show wants the viewers to see.

Who wants to watch the Troopers having coffee and donuts with the locals or at the school talking to the kids about being safe, when you can get all sorts of ratings showing them bust a Methlab or arrest a vicious elder that drank a few beers and has a deadly umbrella as a weapon!


Nope, you got to paint the entire town as some kind of slime filled septic bowl of crime. That is what sells a cop reality show.


To check your power of observations, can you spot the Methlab in the lineup below?
