There will be blood…I hope

History Channel viewers who enjoyed last summer’s Ice Road Truckers (and really, who didn’t? In the great ice road trucking show craze of ‘07, this one was easily the keeper) should make sure to watch the premiere of Ax Men this Sunday. Airing @ 10/9C, it follows the lives of loggers in the Pacific Northwest and is produced by the crew behind Truckers. For those of us who really can’t be bothered with reality TV unless it involves actual bloodshed, History Channel has been enticing us with promos showing big chainsaws, big logs, and men bragging about how many fingers they’re missing. Oh, true, some cynics will carp that this series has little to do with, oh, what’s the word, history. To which I can only reply: Missing fingers, people! You won’t see that on The Universe. And we are all the poorer for it.
