Extinct or Alive (2018– )
1/10
Finding Bigfoot with a Scientific Basis
30 August 2018
After Episode 1, in which our adventure star rediscovers a leopard subspecies, the series quickly devolves into a format that best compared to Finding Bigfoot, Ancient Aliens, and Expedition Unknown. None worth watching, IMO.

Formula: 1. Maybe this animal still exists? 2. We have only two weeks to investigate. 3. Take a week for set-up in new local. 4. Spend a lot of time showing things that have nothing to do with the presumed extinct species...throw in a cute biologist or interesting local character if possible. 5. Preach at the viewer about the horrible things they do to abuse the environment. 6. Show video hiking at night or doing other things that have nothing to do with finding an animal that is considered extinct. 7. Fly a drone at night and show some unsubstantiated green images that could be anything from another native species to a domestic dog or a cat. 8. Cuddle with some "cute" non-endangered animals. 9. Complain that time is too short and quickly running out (what did you anticipate you goof-ball). 10. Slobber on oneself while proclaiming, "I haven't found any subtantial evidence, but I still believe, and I will be back!".

Honestly, you time is much better spent watching any NatGeo or David Attenborough re-run. Extinct or Alive has quickly devolved into Cornball Adventure Television.
