The Curse of Oak Island

I absolutely hate all of the follow up narration. It just isn't necessary. Please stop!!! I would watch more often, IF you didn't have the annoying guy talking over every scene.

Hideously slow, repetitive garbage built around some possibly interesting history.

These "treasure hunters" dig and gouge their way through Oak Island, instantly assuming everything they find is Norse or Roman and another clue to the treasure they seek. Each episode has a nugget of story stretched out to fill a 1-hour time slot. They stand around and talk and talk and talk.

There's an old cross, an old coin, a concrete wall, a mysterious cavern, a rock with "carvings," etc. With every "find," they jump to an array of conclusions that always hark back to the mythic Roman or Norse explorers from two centuries ago. Nothing is ever substantiated. The "experts" they consult add nothing to the endless blather.

I'd give the story 8-9 stars but the production is just awful. Hey Rick, step on that rock over there. "A rock? On Oak Island? Could this be a rock stepped on by renowned pirate John Laffete? Or slept on by the Knights Templar who may have brought treasure from Jerusalem like the Arc of the Covenant? Or maybe it was used in writing the Magna Carte, or to identify the location of other buried treasure?..." Criminies.

And next time you go diving in a murky hole you think is connected to the sea, maybe a good idea to pump a 100K gallons of clean water in first? Just sayin...

Marty: "Hey Rick, I found something...take a look!"

Rick: "What is it?

Marty: "It's a NAIL...and it's very Old!"

Rick. "WOW GOOD FIND!"

Marty: "We must be getting close to the treasure...the nail's related to the 17trh century pirate Capt. Laughin Inmagrave, now we need to drill down to 200 feet, because the sailors from 400 years ago would definitely have gone down that far with their crude shovels and picks."

Rick: "Yes, This nail is very interesting. ...Keep digging while I take a nap in the lab...."But first let's all look at each other in an intense way before the commercial runs."

Marty: "Uh-huh keep em all suckered for anther 11 seasons".

Please please please don't cancel the show because I am addicted to the story and really like the guys on the show. They obviously are very passionate about what is buried on the island and how it git there and I hope the best for them.

What The History Channel needs to do though is stop repeating the same story of the curse - we get it, stop telling me what's coming next after the commercial and then recapping what I saw just before those commercials- if you think I can't remember that far back then you're airing too many commercials, and maybe combine a few episodes into one so I feel the team has accomplished something or give more details in place of the same curse chants so it doesn't feel like I wasted an hour watching 15 minutes of actual content.

Do not cancel it, fix the damage The History Channel has done to it.
