I used to watch most of the "survival" shows.
I had the opportunity to talk with one of the guys who was on ALONE. He said the Number One thing everyday was finding FOOD. That stuck in my head.
I liked the Husband and Wife show, Man Woman Wild. I think he was former SF and she was a weather girl(?). They always did hypothetical (OMG...) situations with minimal gear
The show with the former Army guy and his buddy that didnt wear shoes always confounded me
Im not quite sure about Naked and Afraid
I like the Bear Gryls shows
I think the Les Stoud shows were probably the most useful if you were looking for survival tips
