NEW! Is Alaskan Bush People Fake? Does It Matter?
Viewers of Discovery Channel’s Alaskan Bush People have been wondering if the four episodes of the Brown family’s adventures in the wilderness are all they’re going to get. The new show Siberian Cut takes over the Tuesday night time slot and no new episodes of Alaskan Bush People are currently scheduled.
[Update: A new episode of Alaskan Bush People, titled “The Wild Life,” premieres Sunday, June 15, at 10pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel. Based on the show’s description, it sounds like it might be a highlights/recap/additional unaired footage type of show: “After facing unparalleled obstacles, the Browns reflect on their past year of living in the Alaskan Bush while providing surprise revelations about the family’s lifestyle.”
Last seen, the Brown family suffered another setback as the boat they were using to scout a new home in southeast Alaska hit an object, took on water and sank at the dock. The family made it off the boat safely, but were left with an uncertain future.
They can’t possibly let the show end like that, can they?
Well, the news here is that there is no news. According to a Discovery Channel spokesman, the network has not announced whether or not Alaskan Bush People will be returning.
As for the Brown family, all nine of them were in Los Angeles in January for the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour and were on a panel to promote the show, which at the time was scheduled to air on Animal Planet. (So no, they didn’t starve or freeze or anything after their boat went down in Episode 4.) You can learn more about them and see some pretty interesting photos of the family at their official website. Also, do read this article by Zaz Hollander of Alaska Dispatch, who did some investigating into some of the behind-the-scenes aspects of the show that have been debated in these recaps.
At the panel, Billy Brown summed up the origin of his family’s Alaskan adventure as well as how the TV show came into existence:
“I was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and my family died when I was 16, and I kind of hit the road. When Ami and I got together, we traveled all over the place, and we found that as we were going places, we never were really content where we were. We kept getting we’d go to the country, and it wasn’t really enough country. We kept getting deeper and deeper in, and then, when Alaska opened up to us, it was like a it was like a ready made home to us. And when we got up I have written children’s books for my kids and stuff and a book about my life, One Wave at a Time, and our guys went in when you go to the harbor shacks and stuff, we get Internet every once in a while, and our guys went in, Bam especially, and he put a website for the kids’ books. And through that, a guy got in touch with us, and we ended up here. And I am the one that didn’t want to come. …
This is, you know, not what we had planned. We spent 30 years of our lives trying to stay as far away from this kind of stuff as we could, and people. And we discussed it a lot, and I guess … it was Ami that really talked me into it more that we thought it would be cool if people could really see how we live because I don’t think you guys know people who really still live that way, because it’s not a movie. It’s us.”

I hope that you continue to bring us the Alaskan Bush People, I really enjoy the show even though sometimes their speech is a little different. At least there are no nudity and swear words in it. They seem like a close family and that is what this world needs. Families together is what God intended to begin with. Hope they will always be a close loving group. Keep them on the Animal Channel.
I love this show how to see more.
Please Do Not Cancel the Alaska Bush People. This is one of the few shows on t.v. that is decent and inspiring. I LOVE this family. So what if the boys are a little rough around the edges. Better to be like that than the super-slick and supposedly sophisticated Kardashians! The world would be a better place if all families were as close, genuine, and innocent as the Browns. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW.
This is my absolute favorite show on tv. I love the browns and their family values. I love that they stick together and respect one another. The world needs more people like the browns. God Bless them.
Love this show. Please do not cancel. This is one program my family and I watch together.
This has been a GREAT CLEAN show. I hope you bring it back.
Please don’t stop the Bush family. That is about the only thing I have to look forward to, is watching the Alaskan Bush people. They fill such a void in my life. I would give almost anything to have a family like that. They make me happy . Please make more shows.
Thank for the Show Alaskan Bush people. I love the Brown family. Its great watching a real nice family type show in this day when everything else is full of nasty language and Violence . Please don’t cancel the show. Thank you.
Please leave on the Alaskan Bush People. They are a unteresting family
It’s a clean family show. No foul mouth cursing and no nudity. I look forward in seeing this show weekly. So please keep it on
Dear Discovery Channel- August 2, 2015
Please bring back the Brown Family- Alaskian Bush People. I love the show. I love the family.
They are so loving and kind to each other. We need to see more families like the Browns on TV.
I look forward every week to seeing the Alaskian Bush People. Are you going to do a new series for 2015-2016? I hope and pray that you will.
Thank you
Patricia
I have really enjoyed the Brown family – and hope to see more episodes
Love the show, can’t wait for Friday evenings to come along, and enjoy the show, it’s kinda like a modern day Waltens.
Unbelievable how a family that claims that there such experts in living in the Alaskan bush as well as many many years on fishing boats can be so outright stupid. The boys act like stooges at girls can’t be understood and the father what fat lazy pig. Good ridence. Hopefully the network would put on a show that people can learn from.
Love, love this show!
Please keep them on! So disappointed to find out this was it! We watch the reruns and count the days until the next episode. So many reasons why this is a great show!
Love the wild alaska shows, especially the browns. Please bring back. Do provide funds to have aims teeth fixed.
PLEASE do not cancel the Alaskan Bush People. Finally a t.v show that has good family values without foul language and people using GOD’s name as a four letter curse word. You did real good coming up with this reality show. Keep up the good work and please keep them on.
