Talk:List of Man vs. Wild episodes

message: In my opinion these episodes should also be moved to the special episodes section:
* Season 2: Episode 7: "Bear Eats"
** Reason: MashUp/Best-of Eating of most disgusting animal(s) (parts) aired before that episode
* Season 5: Episode 5: "Fan vs. Wild - Canadian Wilderness"
** Reason: Bear brings some company, same as in the Will Ferell or the Jake Gyllenhaal episodes, only difference is that those guys are not famous (like the hollywood actors), but I'd rather not make a difference here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CodingPlayer (talk • contribs) 06:08, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Special Episodes

message: A lot of people are not sure, or maybe dont know that the actual airing episodes on TV, (Man vs. Wild - USA) are the new season episodes. Look here: http://press.discovery.com/us/dsc/press-releases/2011/bear-grylls-back-test-his-survival-skills-aga-1048/#mkcpgn=fbdsc15 .I think Discovery has a biggiest word in sorting of episodes. I also know that, sites which are releasing a new episodes are adding to episode that it is from season 5. Some TV guides are also writeing that new episodes are in season 5, others from season 6. So the last word has Discovery.
PS: In the latest interview or Bears official blog hes talking that they are already filming season 7. So...

replies: text: I would absolute sign Hanibal007's point of view that there is no logical explanation for the sudden change to shorter seasons. Following the pattern of previous seasons - first half of season in autumn and second half of season in spring - season 5 and season 6 should be combined to one single season 5 (with more episodes), and consequently season 7 should be moved to season 6.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CodingPlayer (talk • contribs) 21:43, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Season 6

message: Right now al redlinks or links to disambig pages with no proper options on them.  However most of these people ahve published books on survival in the areas in question so I think I will try and stub a few of them out and also add links to some of their books in the refrences or external links sections.

replies: text: I split them a while ago, but I think it would be good to go ahead and explain this. There are only three seasons, but they were split into two parts. Places like IMDB and TV.com don't know how to handle that, so they just make it five seasons, instead of three. I know...clear as mud, right? Haha. --132 21:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

They clearly exist, i'm watching the north african episode as we speak, however it is no longer listed on this page  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.109.105.129 (talk) 13:38, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing Episodes 

message: The UK series episodes seem to differ from the US series a fair bit. For example, the article says the US are up to Season 6, which includes episodes that have just aired on the Discovery Channel UK as part of what they're calling Series 4.
However, when it was on Channel 4 in the UK, the Will Ferrell episode was ep 1 of Series 5! Can someone help shed some light on the UK air dates and what episodes belonged to which series?
According to Discovery Channel UK, the episode list for Series 2 - 4 are as follows:
===Series 2===
# Sumatra
# Indonesia
# Namibia
# Zambia
# Louisiana
# Siberia (part 1)
# Alaska
# Mexico
# Sahara
# Panama
# Patagonia
===Series 3===
# Baja Desert
# The Deep South
# Ireland
# South Dakota
# Yukon
# Romania
# Turkey
# Belize
# Dominican Republic
# Oregon
# Bear's Survival Guide
===Series 4===
# Pacific Island
# China
# Big Sky Country
# Guatemala
# Urban Survivor
# Sweden aka Born Survivors: Bear Grylls and Will Ferrell
# Arctic Circle
# Alabama
# Vietnam
# Texas Desert
# Alaska
I don't have a list of episodes from what Discovery UK calls S1, or the air dates for the above at present, but I'll keep looking. Unfortunately, the order noted above is not necessarily the broadcast order - The Will Ferrell episode has definitely been broadcast in the UK at least three times before (at least once on Channel 4, and twice to my knowledge on Discovery, the latest being on 03 May 2010). After a haitus, the second half of S4 is just being broadcast on Discovery UK now, with the Pacific Island episode airing on 03 May 2010 and the China episode on 10 May 2010.
I'll try and find the original air dates (probably all or mainly from Channel 4), but any help is appreciated.
:The U.S. is only in season 5 right now. Season 6 is an error because of the midseason hiatus the show takes every season so they mistake one season for two. Ther eused to be a note about that on this page. What's currently on the page is a mix of the DVD's (R1) and Discovery Channel's episode list although there might well be some discrepancies on the page. The Will Ferrell episode is named a special in the summary and on the DVD of season 4. Only the first air date should be on the list, if there are episodes that have aired first in the UK then replace the other ones, and consider adding the channel after it like this is done at, for example, Stargate SG-1 (season 10), were the first half premiered on the Sci-Fi Channel in the U.S., and the second half on Sky One in the UK. Xeworlebi (talk) 09:01, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: On top of that, I don't think the TV King dates are entirely correct (and you can forget about trying to get anything useful out of Channel4.com itself). I'm trying to confirm the airdate of a ERA recording of Chariots of Fire right now, which appears to be 11th May 2009 (backed up by a clipping in the DVD case which has the date and weekday, but not year, and the (not always reliable) timestamps on the video files themselves), and the "coming soon" type bumpers in the ad breaks appear to contradict anything I can find online for the featured programmes. "Big Art" appears to be starting a week later than listed on the web, "Cutting Edge: The Homecoming" is a good two years *early*, and Born Survivor claims to have a "new series, starts this Saturday"... which would therefore mean S4E1 aired on the 16th of May 2009, not the 2nd, and not 2008. Nor would there presumably be a big gap between E5 and E6. Can anyone independently confirm this? All I can say for sure is that other adverts that list any dates suggest that the recording was indeed made sometime in 2009, but before the start of June... 193.63.174.211 (talk) 13:19, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: UK Air Dates

message: The article states that Discovery calls it Man vs. Wild in Europe, but at least in the Netherlands they call it Ultimate Survival. I don't know about the rest of Europe (though I assume it will be the same), but there is at least one instance where the statement is not true. 
Also, since it's a Channel 4 series, mentioning Born Survivor as a mere alternative is a bit strange. DirkvdM (talk) 08:52, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
