Just found this show while channel surfing on the Discovery Channel
http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/colony/colony.html its basicaly a reality show about controlled experiment which places a grup of people together after a global disaster, these people must work together and survive

I've been DVRing this and really enjoy what I've seen thus far (missed a few episodes early on, hoping they'll rerun them), the post-apocalyptic world concept is very interesting to me.

Just this past Mondya they showed frm the first episode , I missed the first two, but my roommated caught me up on wqhat I missed .. I'm going to check the web site, hpefuly they have full episodes there

I was just about to post about the same show, just found it this weekend. I usually hate reality TV shows, but I was really hooked on this one. The simulated story, including elements like the raiders, is intriguing.

It's not bad.. My only beef are these so called biker raider guys. The people know they are on a tv show so how can they really take these guys even remotely seriously. It's not like a real Road Warrior scenario.. they can hurt them..lol adds a little too much cheeseyness to an otherwise decent show.

I'm sure the people know they are on a TV show in the back of their minds, but I'd bet they're reacting a lot more real than we'd expect.

I think they should kill a colonist.. now THAT would been it up a bit. Like I said good show, I just can't wrap y head around the raiders not being real.

I'm with OSG here they do a great job within the peramiters of scavange and improvise but the "raiders" just seem hokey.
