    Anyone see this show yet? It just started airing in the U.S. on the Science Channel (a Discovery Channel offshoot). It first aired on Canada's OLN back in April. Very cool half hour show. Here's a quick summary someone else wrote:

    "A gritty adventure series that pits an expert tracker against two weekend warriors in a chase through the wilderness. The “prey” take off into the bush with a head start, a map and a compass. The relentless Mantracker is on horseback armed with an arsenal of forensic skills. The hunted have 36hrs and over 40 kilometers to outrun Mantracker – how they escape, that’s up to them. This isn’t about rules or money - just bragging rights. The prey are looking for glory and Mantracker is looking for them."

    There's not much "plot" or "character development" here in each half hour episode: just the thrilling element of the chase set in some wild Canadian terrain.

    I think The Science Channel is reairing the first two episodes a bunch of times this weekend if you get the channel. I'm a bit burned out on anything reality-TV-ish, but I thought this was a pretty cool premise, even if it's Canadian. :p

    link to the show's official site - http://www.mantracker.ca/ - which has a quicktime promo, episode list, etc.

    Here's a clue for the tracker. Be on the lookout for a dude with a camera and another guy with a boom mike. :p
