    Ultimate Soldier on History Channel...

    Dunno if it's any good, but looks promising: http://www.history.com/shows/ultimate-soldier-challenge

    It's history channel, so I'm sure the editing and host will be painful to watch, the slow motion camera work will be gorgeous, and the stages will be contrived. But it could still be fun.

    But how will they work in aliens, Nostradamus, and Hitler?

    So far it is better produced and more interesting than ETU on Outdoor Channel. We'll see. One thumb up so far.

    Inside Combat Rescue on NATGEO blows all of them away by a very wide margin...

    Watching combat rescue right now. Was that me or was someone yelling "Lerooyyyyyyy Jenkins!" as an alert in their FOB?

    My son has been watching Ultimate Soldier Challenge. It is a bit silly. I noticed that Sonny Puzikas will appear next week for the Spetsnaz vs SEALs episode...

    Hope they kept the range nice and bright.

    Didn't they already do that show? I thought I remembered seeing some ridiculous show where Sonny was break-dancing with an AK and using some ridiculous holster for the Makarov that let you chamber a round as you draw the pistol. Is this a different ridiculous show or the same one?

    This is a new ridiculous program. There have been some entertaining stages, but the (apparently mandatory) 'trash-talking' is silly and forced. Target discrimination hasn't been a strength for several of the teams. Also, more than a few of the competitions have been decided by whether you know how to clear a malfunction on a particular weapon...
