Gold Rush: Alaska

We really enjoy this show though we would prefer to keep the gold mining in Alaska rather than Ghana! A mistake perhaps by Todd Hoffman? The Hoffman crew have so many pitfalls they continue to overcome that there is very little gold mining action to watch. My thanks to the Hoffman's for their shining example of praying and limiting the cursing. Regardless, each team deserves our attention because of their bold willingness to battle the elements in their common quest to find gold. We love to follow young Parker Schnabel as he continues to mine gold, who occasionally relies on his grandpa's sage advice. Grandpa John has such wisdom and freely imparts advice, when asked, to his young grandson who is quite young in years but is proving to be a stable, reliable, mining contender in the business. Grandpa John is a wonderfully happy and dear man who always sees the positive side of things reminding me of my own grandpa. Last season saw a tremendous success for the Schnabel team! Congrats to all of the miners who find it indeed takes teamwork to mine for gold in Alaska's beautiful land! If there were one thing I would change, it is the amount of cursing on the show. The bleeping helps, but I would rather the cursing not be there at all. However, as a former Alaskan of many years, I look forward to a new season soon....!

Great series. It is one of those that is so addictive I can not wait to watch another episode, then comes the wait for next season, there in is the benefit of these season-sets, you can get the past seasons and watch them while you wait for next season to release. I love having the discs to rewatch and share with family and friends after I am through. Shipped fast (2 days) and well packaged.

I bought for my husband and not a bad series they just get a little drawn out at times and it seems that they edit just for the controversy and not content. My husband is not sure if he wants the next series.

This case inside had a broken disc holder and the discs were not scratched thankfully but otherwise the product was great.

This is a well-made product.I have no complaints on the manufacturing.I loved the fact that it had subtitles,you never get that in reality shows.I love Gold Rush,I never thought I would like a reality show like this.It's interesting the things you learn and you root for the Hoffman family and crew.I never realized there were gold mining operations going on like this.I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a different reality show with lots of heart.I can't wait for season 2 to hit DVD.

I love this series. Season one is hilarious. For people who say this is nonsense reality, I say you are wrong. There's a lot of lessons in Season One - a lot of "do not do things like this..." or do not be a manager like Todd.

Gold rush! Best show on television!! Buy this and start from the beginning with all the crews and see how far they have come! If they ever need help I'd make trip to work for any of them in a heartbeat!

I recommend this to people who like gold. Anything to do with gold but especially the refining process. I like gold jewelry and gold coins as investment pieces. I liked all aspects of the show. I like the ups and downs. It shows everything. When they get along. When they do get along. Cool show.

If you love things like deadliest catch, storm chasers you'll love this. Follow the drama, passion and love the ambition, shame they are incompetent!

it is a very good film to watch to see how one can get gold fever all the films are very good.

very good dvd, would recommend
