Question do they make GOOD fishing shows?

IMO the biggest problem with almost every fishing show out there is that they don't focus on fishing!
What's wrong with the NESN charlie moore show is charlie moore, the rest of it is pretty good, the gear (boat & rods) the camera & sound crew, the locations i like. charlie i dont.
What bothers me most is that theres a tons of guys out there who are so much better than him and will never get the chance to share what they've learned. Meanwhile the nitwit is probably dumbing down the people watching it. I want a host that is an experinced, well rounded fisherman. Just as important is that he knows how to explain the in's and out's of what he's doing...hard to do while you're hooting and hollering.
I Don't know about you guys, but when I turn on a fishing show i dont want to see the fancy lodge, don't care for 'celebrity guests' that have never been fishing, and i don't want to see some yokel go from one fishing paradise to another, putting no effort into what they're doing.

Some people will do anything to make a name for themselves.
ok, rant over.
