Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I watch Buying Alaska and Living Alaska. First a family on Buying Alaska bought a home. At the end of the show they showed the family and friends playing cards in the home's basement. A new episode of Living Alaska just appeared and this couple was looking at the exact same house which was still for sale. Now I am wondering if any of these families are actually buying the homes. The buying Alaska episode appeared last season. I can't believe the family moved in and out in less than a year. The episode was memorable because the previous episode they showed a lamp with real deer feet as the stand. The husband loved it and asked for it to be part of the deal. The episode on Living Alaska showed the same basement, neighbor's house, lake and the deer lamp. I will be really disappointed if the families are not buying these homes. I also would like to know how many families moved out of Alaska after buying their home.

Thank ya all for your information on it not being "reality". I guessed this as they are so expensive and I had to wonder how some of these people afford $200,000 plus homes. I also questioned buyers choosing one, when as another viewer said, there is usually only one that comes close to their needs. I would say thanks and keep looking! I also wondered about schooling for children and the travel to schools but since it isn't real, that solves that question. Still interesting as I love seeing the scenery and looking at the houses. I live in Texas and enjoy learning about Alaska but don't think we will be moving there anytime soon. I like guessing which one they will "buy". Wish it was "real" but today, what really is?

So I love this show. Thought it was real. That was until I spoke with one of the couples from season two, I asked them how they liked the house they chose, they told me that they didn't buy anything. It was all for the show. That their actual house was used for another episode. They said that all the properties on the show are actually for sale but that the people on the show are not buying the houses. It's all for entertainment. The show is always been very interesting but it sucks knowing it's not real. Was also told that they don't show the really bad stuff of the property like the couple told me that one of the houses they saw on the show has all the wood on the property was rotten and poor condition, they won't show the real condition of it because they are for sale.

I love this show. Glimpses of amazing Alaska and amusing couples looking for a "second home" make the show worth watching. I didn't notice the guitars, etc. I am almost ready to move to Alaska...until I hear about the snow and the only way into some of the towns during winter is by plane or snowmobile only. Unfortunately, it looks like Discover/Destination America has chosen not to renew the show. Too bad. I enjoyed the peek into the homes. But, I must thank the originators of the show, I learned a lot. Who knew that you had to tighten up a log home. Alaska is one gorgeous place. And this show really shows that off. Highly enjoyable.
