I watched 7 episodes of these old films and I couldn't figure out what was different. Then it hit me. The only Brand names I saw in all 7 films was Mercury Outboard motors and Boston Whaler boats in this one. Could you see this guy trying to produce this show today without the name of Sponsors all over the frickin place? THere'd be the Rod and Reel, The name of the baits, the brand of gasoline the motor used , the fishing line, The Boat, The fishing motor, The truck he used to get there, the tackle box, the battery in the boat, the trailer it was on, The cooler they put the fish in, The Beer they drank, The insurance company on the boat and truck, By the time all the commercials played this 8:25 minutes with all the "When we come back we'll see" and "Before the break we saw" bullcrap is enough material for an hour show!

It's interesting that he thinks the Glen Canyon Dam is gorgeous. It only ruined one of the most gorgeous places in the USA. If things keep going the way they are going all that backed up water will be gone some day and all those beautiful walls and shoreline will come back and hopefully that chunk of concrete will rot away.
