"Fat Guys in the Woods" Canceled

For fans of the Weather Channel's reality-based survival show "Fat Guys in the Woods," sad news. The Weather Channel has decided to cancel the show.

In a bid to stem a massive fall in profits this year ($335 million dollars according to the Washington Post), the Weather Channel decided to dump any non-weather related reality shows and return to a purely weather-related format.

This is unfortunate, because as I've said before, I think "Fat Guys" was one of the better survival shows that didn't go overboard with producer-induced drama and fake scenarios.

Regards,

Jason
