Whilst channel surfing one night, I happen to stumble upon the Outdoor Life Network. You know, the channel that shows people fishing, hunting, and other outdoorsy type stuff. I usually can't stand these kinds of shows, because I'm not interested in those kinds of hobbies. But then this show pops up.

<b>Stamford, CT (January 27, 2004) – Outdoor Life Network President and Chief Executive Officer E. Roger Williams announced today that Samurai Sportsman will debut on OLN® this Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 9:30PM ET/PT.</b>Yoshi is a modern- day Samurai who will combine humor and a fun spirited approach as he utilizes his martial arts training to master traditional American outdoor activities. The premiere episode will feature bass fishing legend Bill Dance. Yoshi learns the art of bass fishing from the master and becomes one with the rod and reel while teaching Bill the way of the sword.

Has anyone else seen this show? What are your thoughts about it? What are some of your thoughts about the premise of the show? The episode I watched had "Yoshi" mastering the technique of fly fishing. It was pretty fun to watch, but not "Iron Chef" level type fun. I think he's supposed to take on steer wrestling this Saturday. Definetly worth a look-see.

It sounds gimmickly pathetic, my great appreciation for Samurai would diminish if I brought myself to watch this show.

As I read that article I was checking to see if it was released on April Fool's Day. If it's not a joke...it's stupid.
