This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I guess the reality TV "formula" dictates that couch potatoes with no life of their own want to watch low-lifes squabble and bicker. This series has plenty of that.The premise of ocean gold dredging in the most remote corner of Alaska has a lot of potential, but I have already seen enough chain smoking trailer trash, cursing at one another as a normal means of communication to last me a lifetime. Throughout the episodes, producers dangle the hope that we will get to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the outdoors, cobble together makeshift gold-getting equipment by our Yankee ingenuity and realize the American dream of striking it rich by the sweat of our brow. After all, isn't it every man and woman's dream to flip off the boss, sell the house and live off the bounty of this great land? That is the fantasy we want to watch; not transplanted white trash tweekers running amuck to the constant "beep- beep" sound-over covering their foul mouths.In the end, it is all just scripted, boring low-brow "drama" and completely misses the mark.

My TV dinner is coupled with recorded episodes of Bering Sea Gold. Not that I am always in front of the TV when I'm enjoying a meal, but for those nights when supper is a pizza and some TV, this show fits perfectly and it's been that way around here with Bering Sea Gold for a while, we love it in my house. It's incredible what these folks do in real terms and I feel that we've seen a good balance from the producers... The deal is simple, people risk their lives even before they dive by taking those little vessels out on the ocean (and get this! The ice too!!!!) and we get to see it all kicking off, nothing is hidden. The cast is awesome and there's something for everyone in the pot in terms of characters to warm to, The Kelleys are my favourites and I'd love to see them do well! Keep up the great work with this production, I'm not sure I'd survive without my fix of the Kelleys and the on and off friendship of the rest. Brilliant!

My version of gold fever is gold TV show fever, which i have recently acquired. I started out with gold rush and ran out of shows fast and moved onto Yukon gold. Then i started this show and had high hopes, but was soon disappointed.I heard critique that gold rush was more about the drama, than the hunt for gold. If you in any way agree with this, don't start watching this show. The nature of the Bering sea is, that there aren't many days on the water. Due to this, it seems like they fill the show with conflicts between and within the crews. If this is entertainment value for you, go ahead. If not, don't. The nature of these crews are way more dodgy than the other gold shows out there, and really, it's the characters in this show that puts me off.The Pomrenkes: father son conflict. The son seems to be a massive alcoholic.The edge dredge: who in their right mind brings a crush who wants nothing romantic to do with you to live/work with you 3 months straight, 2 seasons in a row. The Meisterdude: What a fricking a-hole. He deserves nothingThe blue boat: risking his retirement by hiring incompetent, half blind Steve with massive authority issues 2 seasons in a row on a boat where there by default is a captain is probably the dumbest move of any. When i found out the girl was Steve's daughter, her opera aspirations instantly fell into place and thought: u'd do good by settling for Zeke.I felt a bit more stupid after watching. Worst gold show i've seen.

FIRST IMPRESSION (seasons 1 and 2)Yes I'm hooked on this latest reality offering. BSG is a must see if you enjoy seeing a disparate group of quirky characters struggle to get rich quick. Many are up to their eyeballs in debt and need a mini El Dorado to put them back on their financial feet. Most people contemplate panning or digging for their gold. Not this group of adventurers. They all go out to sea on dinky little barges and dive for their gold. Sucking up the booty from the sea floor using industrial strength vacuum hoses. All except the Pomrenkes who mine from a massive barge using a dredge to scoop up gold bearing silt.I love the contrasts of characters in this show. The aforementioned Pomrenkes exhibit the classic father and son schism that makes for good drama. Zeke lusts after Emily to no avail. Emily has aspirations to be an opera singer. Yeah right! And Sarah Palin had aspirations of being president. Emily's dad is a complex character who drives his boss Vern crazy. And then there's Scott, an anti hero if ever there was one. I was amazed to see him return for a second series. Not only that, he had 'friends' working on his boat. Although I don't know how long they'll last as friends.All in all it's a very entertaining show. I doubt whether any of them will become rich but they are on an interesting journey.LATEST IMPRESSION (seas0ons 3 and 4)Sadly BSG has now become a farcical soap opera. Little time is now spent focusing on gold dredging. Season 4 is more about the antics of featured 'personalities' such as Brad Kelly, Shawn Pomrenke and Emily Reidel. I find none of these people particularly appealing and personally question the authenticity of this show. Some say it's scripted and I wouldn't be surprised if that was revealed to be the case. Call me cynical but I smell a rat. I now find this show hard to watch and sincerely hope the producers return the focus of the program to gold digging adventurers trying to make it big. If you also feel jaded by this version of 'reality' then you could do a lot worse than watching Yukon Gold, a show without the gimmicks that BSG feels is necessary to chase the ratings.
