Eme March 3, 2017 Share March 3, 2017 So this week I was looking at them and trying to find any similarities with each other and with the parents. I can find very little. If the girls were next to each other, you would say "Yeah, they are sisters" but they don't look like any of their brothers and their brothers do not look alike. Put them in a line and try to guess if they are related...can't find the similarities. Can anyone point out their similarities (other than the bad teeth) to show they are brothers/sisters? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/34371-season-four-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3043795

With the accents fading in and out like a bad Shakespeare production, at first I suspected that they were either C grade English or Australian character actors, playing the parts in a stage (staged) production.

I know . . . there's Photoshop for those pictures, but they look real. Nah, I think they're family - a family who have been rehearsing this bush family act for years. Remember, before they talked their way into the TV show they were trying to cash in on the oil money discounts intended to bring film production to Alaska, shopping around to make Billy's fantasy book a documentary. As I recall, the Alaska state government established a program to subsidize film production as a means to get a new industry to the state - hence all the Alaska shows that popped up. And, if I'm correct, many Alaskans were less than thrilled with the way they were portrayed with a bunch of the fake reality shows, and a subsequent governor ended, or is ending, the program. Anyway, way back, before the show, Billy wrote his book and the band of grifters supposedly traveled around the lower 48 in an Rv trying to sell the book. Used to be you could find sites online (with horrible spelling/grammar) offering books for sell - but by the time I checked the books were out of print and unavailable. Who knows how much truth there is to the story, as it appears someone, probably the production company, tries to delete as much as possible when stuff doesn't match the party line. I remember when the stories of long lost daughter meeting up with the gang in Hawaii came out I saw copies of posts from a closed facebook account made public that suddenly become unavailable when I went back to reread them a second time. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I believe this pack a grifters practiced this story for years long before the TV show.

rmontro March 9, 2017 Share March 9, 2017 They had another deleted scenes show on last night, centering on a party the kids were throwing for local bush people and friends of Billy. Some of the names were kind of amusing: Septic Tank Jake, One Armed Pat, Insane Wayne. I guess it's no more silly than Merry Christmas Raindrop Brown. Billy was crying about the local towns shrinking because it was the "end of the bush". I would think that if they wanted to live wild, they would be happy the towns were disappearing, because that just means there is more wild area to live in. What happened with the lower 48 is that the towns increased in size and encroached on everything. I guess if the people would disappear there would be no one to grift. Anyway, they showed the Bush kids transporting the mystery cannon to their beach, which they fired off at their party. They said they were there doing something else but dropped everything when they saw the cannon. But they never said who they got the cannon from, how much they paid (or bartered) for it, or even if it was just given to them. Odd. The highlight of the show for me was Noah pronouncing "cellphone" as "cellpha ona". 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/34371-season-four-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3062288

Wanton87, yeah, that was me who posted that comment at RK. Made in 1977, it is an interesting story of 4 guys who travel through the Yukon and Alaska for several months. Only an hour long and narrated by James Stewart. Produced by National Geographic. I think I read somewhere that these guys did the trip and then did it again so NG could film it. Is it scripted ? I don't know , but it shows a truer sense of the Yukon and Alaskan lifestyle than that truly scripted garbage known as Alaskan Bush people (IMO).

I was being very snarky. Basically we train them as they grow with age appropriate jobs. As teens they get jobs and start paying for their own expenses or show us they are saving for college, car etc. When they are in 12th grade we switch to a "roommate training" where you would keep even a roommate aware that you are not dead. We do get texts each day from our 20yr old college student that say, "NOT DEAD". When they are 16 they are required to take over the family budget for 1 year and pay all the bills, budget for food, sports, excursions etc. With our bank account of course. We watch over them and they learn to write checks, keep the checkbook, look ahead and do spreadsheets for expenses and still have savings and an emergency fund and Christmas club. My mother did that with me and it was the best financial training I ever had. It really makes the kids appreciate work, money and the family.

Yes, perhaps I used too strong a word there but it seems to me that, as you mentioned above, the lack of dental care (for Bird and Ami herself) seems to not be cool to me since they were obviously not spending all their time in the bush and should have had access to dental and medical help and I don't believe that they were as broke as they claimed. Several of the clan have glasses, after all, so some medical type problems were addressed. And no, I don't want to open a can of worms which we can only see from a heavily edited, scripted reality show...not a good idea for a number of reasons. We only see what TPTB want us to see. This whole thing just makes me shake my head. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/34371-season-four-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3131723
AZChristian March 30, 2017 Share March 30, 2017 There's not enough money for dental care, but several of them have Apple watches and phones, and they vacation in Hawaii. What we have here is two generations of grifters, happily being paid for acting. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/34371-season-four-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3131760

They're certainly not as broke as they are making themselves out to be now. If Billy had really wanted that turbine, he could have come down off of some of his stack of money to get it. But we're told all they could give for it was Bam's wood, lol. Ami is an adult, so what she does with her dental care is her business. Well, Bird is an adult now too, but she wasn't not all that long ago. My theory is that Bird has a fear of the dentist, and that's why she never got fixed. She likely gets it from her parents, since both Billy and Ami seems to have a deep distrust of doctors. Then again, I have an alternate theory where the cameras stop filming, and Bird pops her prosthetic denture thing back in her mouth and looks perfectly normal, lol. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/34371-season-four-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3135185
Dennie March 31, 2017 Share March 31, 2017 (edited) Rumor time! The next season is a go but filming is delayed because there's a lot of snow in Brownsville and it is not fun for family and crew to film. Also rumored that Ami had been in the hospital in LA for some unknown reason, perhaps surgery for her neck problem. Some other family members have been sighted there. The Integrity is for sale! Any buyers out there? Maybe Ami's medical problems have caused the Browns to have to sell there supposed business boat to pay the bills? Or they've gotten all the stories they could out of that thing? Perhaps they will show it as another sinking? Oh the excitement of it all. Supposedly the equipment and crew are out of Hoonah....maybe a different filming site for next season? Noa-lot and his girl Rhain have been hanging out in Juneau lately. No sightings of Matty...he is either laying low or might be in rehab again. Last sighting was in New York. Bamster is still being sighted in South Carolina I believe. I can't even watch those Re-run shows anymore. I fear this show has lost its glitter for me but I still feel compelled to know what is up with them. Why oh why do I care!?!? ?

Dennie March 31, 2017 Share March 31, 2017 Gabe, Bear and Billy have been spotted in AZ and CO. Oh my, will we be treated with a season of Winnebago traveling across 'Merica with the Browns?! ?

AZChristian March 31, 2017 Share March 31, 2017 To the best of my knowledge, the Browns never OWNED the Integrity, so "they" can't sell it. It was owned by the production company. So it's kind of like a company selling off clothing racks or other "props" that have outlived their usefulness. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/34371-season-four-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3136810

Yes, I believe it is owned by the production company. I wonder what story they will come up with for the show of why "Bully had to sell the boat" (that really isn't his to sell in the first place). Maybe they "need the money to throw a totally awesome extreme wedding for Noah". 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/34371-season-four-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3137451

I looked for it, and I couldn't find it, but if I do, I'll post it here. But someone over at IMDB dug up all kinds of personal information on the Browns from an official Alaskan court records website. They also ran the VIN on the Integrity. Now if I recall correctly, the Integrity not only didn't belong to the Browns, it didn't even belong to Parkslop (spelling intentional) Productions, so they probably leased it . Here's a list of offenses a mile long from that same poster (sans the Integrity information).

How would that look? Billy is a bit like the Starks on Game of Thrones. He's always saying "Winter is Coming". But we never really see it. Maybe Ami's medical problems were the reason we didn't see her much this past season, or half season, or whatever it was. If they get rid of the "Integrity" (what a name), I'd assume that means we'll be seeing a new boat, probably one obtained by Billy through some "mystery barter". If they move out of Browntown to a different location, they're going to have a hard time explaining that. I feel sorry for whoever's responsible for cleaning that mess up. 3 hours ago, wanton87 said: someone over at IMDB dug up all kinds of personal information on the Browns from an official Alaskan court records website.

I like The Village. I've seen nearly all of M. Night Shyamalan's movies. Some are good, some are garbage. He went through a bad stretch there for awhile. My favorite of his is Signs. People absolutely tear that plot line to pieces, but I don't care. It's more about philosphy than sci-fi. The worst one is Lady in the Water, IMO. I like this website quite a bit. The only thing I don't like is that it's a bit of a pain to add subforums for new shows, and it would be nice if they had movies here too. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/34371-season-four-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3138799
