I felt that way about "Mountain Men".

The men were real. They were great, with three completely different environments and lifestyles. The editing and narration was an atrocity. My favorite example: Toms wife talking about how scared she is when he's away. They've been there for something like 20 years. The old girl is tougher than I am, and she's been living like this forever. She's not the timid, meek woman they try to make her out as. Check out Eustace on the internet. He comes off as a communal living hippie on TV. This doesn't match up either. Marty is the real thing too, the Alaska Trappers Association Trapper of the Year in 2001.

Television- bah!
