What do you think? Do you watch Viceland? Will you watch any of these new shows?
Need to c Moore abandoned please bring it back on
Abandoned, Great show! Stoked that it’s returning!! Rick is the perfect host for this show.
I love Abandoned with Rick McCrank….I’m so glad it was renewed…I didn’t think of the abandoned places, this show opened my eyes how humans waste things… I eagerly await the new shows~! Rich McCrank is doing a amazing job~!
Would readily gobble up another season of Cyberwar
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE “Abandoned”…with Rick McCrank. I think that this series should actually be introduced into the curriculum at our schools for the kids to watch…AND to learn from. Excellently produced and Mr. McCrank is fantastic in this show.
Of all the excellent prolific urban explorers out there, they chose Seph Lawless aka Greg Brick to be on the promo. Having interacted with the guy both on forums and IRL, I’ll be abstaining from watching the show purely based on his presence. *blech*
I tuned out the channel a couple of weeks after Viceland started up. H2 was a much better channel
