    The only survival reality tv show I liked!

    I stumbled onto this gem of a show only to find out it has been canceled after 3 seasons. Why me?!?! Lol... I really enjoyed LFOD! Of course some of the issues that came up did seem scripted. However, which "reality" show doesn't have moments that seem scripted? I hate that the show has been canceled. I found the show very interesting, seeing how some people choose to live a harder life. Colbert is my favorite person from the show! Amelia and what's his face are ok but, she is way too nice looking for what's his face! Lol... Thorne is a little too strange for my taste and seems like he is trying to hard to be one of "those types of people." I don't care for Gabriel's character/story at all. Overall the show is definitely worth a watch. You can watch all the seasons on Hulu!!!

    Can't take it seriously

    The show is a complete joke. And if you notice the grammar and spelling in the reviews from people who like the show you'll get what kind of show it is. This show is fake and for simpletons.

    I like the show

    But i find when they kill the animals esp the homesteaders amelia and Joe ? she has literally Pet domestic Bunnies .. now im pretty sure in the usa you arent allowed to breed to Kill domestic ones for food ONLY wild ones .. I know in some parts of the world ppl can get fined and charged for breeding domestic ones for meat .. but My main thing is they were pretty graphic about how they were gonna kill the animals .. they could have just had the shot of them taking the animal and saying we are gonna have it for meat and then have another shot of them later when its dead and skinned .. ppl dont need to see ya kill it and Im an adult and that part Upset me almost deleted the show :( and yes grown up on farms and seen where meat comes from but come on ppl not something that looks like ya pet ......I do enjoy the other ppl on the show though but they my least fav now

    interesting characters and great scenery

    This show isn't a survivalist show. Live Free or Die refers to how the participants choose by different degrees to simplify their lives in a way that allows them to be free from debt and free from the anxiety caused by reliance on a consumer lifestyle. In 2008, the participants probably watched the world's economy almost collapse because lots of people bought lots of things that they really couldn't afford. Millions of people lost their jobs and all they owned because the bankers wouldn't loan unless we consumers (the government) agreed to assume the banks' "toxic assets." There isn't much difference between these people and more "normal" people who strive to be debt free by repairing a car instead of buying a new one, or raising a few chickens and putting in the equivalent of a victory garden. Fun, informative and entertaining.

    Absolutely Hilarious

    I expected this to be the typical outdoor/survival program. Boy oh boy was I wrong! This one stands out. This is a "parody" of a survival show, and the characters don't seem to realize it! The Nat Geo narrator sounds like Yogi Bear talking to Boo Boo. These folks are the most ignorant simpletons you will EVER meet in your life. They couldn't find their way out of a paper bag, and that's what makes this show worth watching. They are dressed like cartoon characters...green felt outfit...little red riding hoods jacket...At some level you began to realize that it has to be scripted and these morons are actors, cuz they would have starved to death and died after the first episode if it were real.
