Ashley Selden just updated on her blog that TLA Season 5 ain’t happening.
“Though I say so myself it was a rather fine show, well done, tasteful, moderate, visually very attractive, family-oriented and about as authentic as it gets in non-scripted TV. It was a blue-chip show and had a strong following of extremely loyal viewers, who seemed to have really bonded with and taken something meaningful from the series. Many have wondered why it was canceled and if there is any hope of its eventual return. ”

Last Alaskans is one of the best shows on tv and one of my favorites, please bring it back for season 5.
Please renew The Last Alaskans! One of the best shows on!!!
I've been a devoted follower of "The Last Alaskans" since its first episode & even now at age 65 after growing up hunting & fishing to escape a truly evil stepfather, the unscripted reality of each & every episode is a breath of fresh air in a world that has become so bereft of real-life emotions & true human interaction of value.
The Last Alaskans is honest, unscripted, full of refreshing values topped with truth, & superb human-to-human communication. It provides us the best real life example about how all of humanity's communication & interaction should occur. It is full of true love – that of marriage & of parents w/children, love of all the "working" animals, love/respect/stewardship of our natural world, respect & honor to/for those wild animals that sacrifice their lives so the families can keep food on the table or make warm clothes from the furs & skins or trap to bring in some income. There is purity in this kind of life & living, & I continue watching all the episodes over & over again & hoping/praying that this wonderful program will never come to an end before I do now that I'm in my twilight years. It is a template for a simple yet very challenging way of life, & I personally feel each & every emotion from the history of the loss of the Korth's daughter Colleen to the philosophies & death of Bob Harte, to the joy I see in the eyes of Tyler & Ashley Selden in their love for each other, to the desire of Krin's husband Scott to prove to Heimo & Edna he can take care of Krin & their own child, & so much more I could write volumes about & never stop. This show is far better than reading about Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett or even Jack London's books like "White Fang" in my childhood. Do you know the CBS so-called "reality" TV show "Survivor" is almost 20 years & 40 seasons old now & it doesn't hold a candle up to The Last Alaskans by comparison. Please renew this show indefinitely, following the authentic life & death reality from which so many of us here in the western world are sheltered. The Last Alaskans fills us with anticipation for EVERY episode, it forces us to examine our inner "self" if we have a heart to first love & accept ourselves as we are & to then love & accept others for who they are, & we are all better human beings from having shared in the lives of these wonderful families/individuals even though it is from afar. To Bob Harte, RIP, & someday soon I hope when my earthly days are done to join you for a moose hunt on the other side followed by a few cold beers. And to those who read my post, please forgive my pen name/moniker though it's quite appropriate as to the twinkle occasionally seen in my eyes! May the good Lord bless all you Last Alaskans fans & thank you for all your uplifting comments about the show! MM
Last Alaskans is truly a good family series we would hate to see that canceled I know a lot of family’s who watch it and would hate to see it canceled
I love this show and the thought of not knowing the rest of the stories fills me with sorrow. Please don't bag on my favorite show Survivor. They are very two different shows. It is one of the shows I'm going to hell for. I need The Last Alaskans to even me out.
A truly beautiful show, well done and captivating. Please renew.
It is such a good series please do not cancel it i am anxioux to watch it
The show is great. We have been watching it from the beginning. Of all the reality shows, this one is the best unlike some of the other Alaskan reality shows. Please renew this wonderful show.
In this world of tv trash, it is the most relevant, realistic show available to viewers. Please keep it on.
Please don't cancel this wonderful family show. It's the only show my husband and I watch together. Please continue, as it seems there is certainly enough life experiences of our "show friends" to go on for quite awhile. Thank you.
DO NOT cancel The Last Alaskans. I LOVE, LOVE, Love this show!!!!!
My favorite show on Spectrum Cable. Now it may be gone! Maybe I can now watch Paw Patrol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the few shows on television the entire family enjoys watching.
The Last Alaskans shows hard working people who live with good honest values in alignment with nature and the land. It is as much a show about family as it it about the challenges of living in the Alaskan Artic Reserve. In a time when our country is so divided and looking inward at our differences, rather than what unites us, the Last Alaskans is a reminder of how living a simple life in alignment with nature can be a path to a healthier, happier and more sustainable life.
Please renew the show.
Please avoid the temptation to invest in shows about fancy houses, snarky people hunting for gold and/or gaudy over-sized pools. The Last Alaskans is about real life. That is always a compelling story.
Thank you.
Please bring The Last Alaskans back. Our entire family loved following the families and their way of life there.
Love this show. With all the outrageous shows that are on you chose to cancel the best family friendly one. Shame on you. Please renew.
Please don't cancel The Last Alaskans.
Naked and Afraid,crap,there are medical personal close by.There are rangers with guns.Junk T.V. Garage Monkey,the worst show you have.Glorifying a guy who drinks and drives,just what I want my kids watching.The Browns,that is,I'm sorry the worst show on T.V. Fake T.V. does'nt describe it.Thieves,liars,who knows what else but it is not good.
Your company is blessed with families that work for everything they have,food,shelter,trap in Sub 0 temperatures for fur to make money.These are things I want my children to learn.Just a fabulous decision,taking a prime family show off the air.
I watched your scum shows once and turn the channel now when they come on.I will continue to watch the shows that are family friendly.But have lost the respect I once had for your company.I wish you would reconsider,but I think these people are better than that and do not need your channel.Some other channel will pick this show up when your contracts run out.
Please renew “The Last Alaskans” It is by far the best show on Discovery! This summer my family made a trip to Alaska. To my surprise in Fairbanks I found myself in one of the cabins Bob Harte built. Inside the cabin there’s a photo of him and a short story. I felt as though I knew him through your show. It was an emotional experience. Also Heimo is originally from the area of Wisconsin I’m from. We all can learn a lesson from the love, respect, overcoming challenges and hard work that these family’s show us!
I’m very sorry to hear “The last Alaskans” is not being renewed. I hate to lose my favorite show. The protagonists are very genuine and believable, many times blowing my emotions all over the place. I hope someone picks up the show.
This is by far the best show on TV. The camera crew does such an excellent job in very harsh conditions. The show where they showed a little of what they go thru was very interesting. Please consider bringing it back.
I was very disappointed that Discovery doesn't realize what a great hit they had on their hands. This show and the characters within it are one of the truest detections of a reality TV show I have ever seen they are so down to earth and human and wonderful and I'm going to miss this show like crazy. In fact I will not even watch the Discovery Channel anymore I am so disgusted with what they've done. They wouldn't know a great show if it came and bit them in the blankety-blank. Instead they choose to show shows about greed as in bering sea gold and gold rush, then there is Street Outlaws, Naked and Afraid so uplifting for us all, Moonshiners another fascinating show xcetera. They do still have on two shows about Alaska both have been on for 10 seasons and 9 Seasons respectively and that's it. So I don't understand why they canceled this show that was so much better than everything else they have together combined. I just don't understand and I doubt we will ever get an explanation as to why they really canceled it.
I mean no disrespect but, have you lost your mind? Why in GOD's name have you not renewed a wonderful show like THE LAST ALASKANS and yet you leave trash like alaskan Bush people and naked and afraid. I am at a total loss of understanding. PLEASE WAKE UP AND RENEW: THE LAST ALASKANS!!.
I can not believe this wonderful show has been canceled. Best show on TV.
The only real ‘reality’ show on TV; and you boneheads decide to cancel it?!?! What moron is in charge of programming? Cancel that bogus Bush people show instead! Sorry, but you guys have really screwed up!
I miss The Last Alaskans so much! It was such a great series. "Naked and Afraid"?? Are you kidding me?!? I can't believe the best program Discovery offered is now cancelled….so sad. Your big loss Discovery…..and ours.
Please reconsider the last Alaskans was truly an educational and inspirational TV program
Bring it back so I will continue to have a reason to continue watching Discovery channel. Otherwise…………
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE renew this show is one of the few reasons i have cable
Please bring back my favorite show. It is so educational and honest, unlike most of the reality shows on tv that are garbage. Please, please renew this great show.
