I heard about this cool show called Apocalypse Man. Does anyone know when it comes on or what channel?

Asked by jctennis123 (427points) January 20th, 2010

I heard about this cool show, it’s kind of like man vs. wild and Survivorman, but it is someone surviving urban environments. For instance the man escapes out an elevator shaft and similar dire circumstances. My friend told me he saw it on tv the other night but he didn’t remember any of the details such as what channel. Has anyone seen it or could point me to where I could find an episode?

I followed the google links to the history channel website but even on that site it does not have show times.

Look on the site for your cable system; they would have the show times if you enter your zip code somewhere. Or tvguide.com

Well, it’s a show on History Channel.
Check your cable provider’s website and find out from there, sometimes it varies.

It is indeed on the History Channel, I saw the premier episode about a week or two ago, I remember it was on at like 2 am, but I’m pretty sure that was the 2nd showing of the day. I looked on my satellite guide which goes up through the 28th and didn’t see any showings scheduled. Then I went to the History Channel site, and found that there are no showing scheduled for the next two weeks. I did find out in searching that it premiered on January 6 at 9pm (assuming that’s Eastern), and as far as I can tell there’s only been one episode.

For what it’s worth, this guy (Rudy Reyes) is a retired Marine in tip top physical condition. These things that he suggested to do to survive would be physically impossible for about 99% of humanity. I felt a little let down by it, didn’t feel that the “advice” was all that practical. I also found it interesting that he basically showed people how to hotwire a car (maybe that’s why it disappeared from the air).

It’s on the History Channel. He gives terrible advice. I’ve studied survival skills for years, and this guy tells you to do stuff that will probably get you killed.

I watched an episode of this show, some of it’s good advice but there is a lot that seems to go aganst common sense. As a former soldier myself I would not do many of the things they showed on the show becuase theres a good chance it will get you killed. If you want some practical ideas of what to do feel free to visit my website www.therazors-edge.com
