Saw for Hire

[tree md]

so some jealous hater spent no telling how much effort to get a letter sent to TLC just because their youtube wannabe TV show didn't get picked up by TLC and Nosak's did, what a shame. I'll bet the show stays................

I've said if before and I'll say it again, the guys crying are just a bunch of haters that are jealous they didn't get picked up by TLC................HATERS....

I disagree. I wouldn't go as far as writing letters to TLC but I don't think jealousy plays too much into it. If they would actually use a professional tree service and show how the work is done in a more realistic light I would love to watch a show like that. Maybe if you worked in the same town as this guy and heard the comments I have heard you would feel differently. Back during the ice storm this guy bought some air time on one of the local TV stations and put an infomercial on. I was actually excited when I heard about it and was looking forward to seeing it. When it aired I was horrified. It makes people in the tree industry look like ignorant megalomaniacs. The crane work is the worst I have ever seen. Nearly every customer I talked to asked me if I had seen the show after it aired and I said I did but didn't comment further. Most said something like this guy is something else or he is full of himself or something of that nature. I had one lady flat out tell me that she wanted me to do her job while she was not at home so she didn't have to deal with any "tree people". I had another man scrutinize me on whether or not I would turn a crane over in his driveway or damage his house. Said he had seen Nosak on TV. Personally, I wouldn't want my work put on national TV. Not that I am ashamed of it I just don't know how much I would like to call down that kind of attention to myself and would not want to turn my work into some kind of circus. If TLC wanted to put up some kind of show that would actually depict a reasonble tree service in a more positive light I would be all for it and look forward to watching it on TV.

Just my .02

Just as a side note, When the ice storm hit here last year this guy was gleeful about it on his show. People took a pretty hard hit right at Christmas time with large property damage bills, no electricity for weeks and in some cases personal injury and death. This guys gleeful attitude on TV didn't sit well with a lot of folks in this town and definitely cast tree workers in a bad light.

if they did that then all you would have is another boring tv show, TLC wants drama and action and Paul gives it.........

Have to disagree with you there as well. Most people that witness an aerial lift with a crane or just some good old fashioned rope work are usually very impressed and amazed. I imagine the shock value does draw a lot but I think the show would be successful if they would just portray it realistically.

Yeah I'm sure the show will do pretty well.....right up until Paul kills his climber. Robb

You all know this is TV correct. No drama no show,no show =no $$ for Paul. I would not think he is like that all the time, if he was no one would work for him. I would say a low of what happens is a set up. And i LOVE the show

if they did that then it wouldn't be GOOD TV, you know it and I know it, it's TV and everything on TV gets played up for the drama.

This isn't any different than tow truck drivers, fire fighters and so many others happy when disaster strikes.

Just keep your mouth shut.

Romeosgrl,

What kind of guy is Gerome, boxers or briefs? His fans want to know!

:love1: :love1: :love1:

 

[Romeosgrl]

So you didn't mind the date he was arranging with his GIRLFRIEND to go to the movies?

It was in the episode they whacked the roof with the bottom of the pick.

No I didn't, cuz that girlfriend was me at the time...we weren't married yet...

 

[Romeosgrl]

Romeosgirl, I'm a little slow right now but if this year is anything like the three years previous I could probably help out with a few jobs and help him achieve that goal. I do most of my own climbing but when I get busy I usually contract work out. I've worked a few guys from AS and they would probably tell you that I am pretty reasonable and pay well. Just have Gerome PM me if he's interested. He looked like the only one on that crew that had any sense. I've got extra gear he could use until he can buy his own.

He has his own climbing gear, Chainsaw, spikes, rope, all that fun stuff, just wants to one day get a bucket truck and all that stuff too. I will talk to him and let him know you offered. Thanks a bunch!

Romeosgirl-- what happened to the show tonight? TLC had shows on from like 4 years ago.

 

[Romeosgrl]

Considering hes been in business about 10 years, and never had a man die on the job.....every day jobs can be dangerous for ANY tree company...the show is about the most dangerous jobs, the ones that didn't go "right"...the easy ones dont make good TV....there were hours and hours and hours of footage...about 20 hours of shooting for about 20 minutes of air time...

They pulled it....due to the bad response they received like that letter shown earlier in this post....thats why I say everyone who loves the show, go to the TLC website and email them...let them know not everyone feels that way!! Though TLC has not said exactly why they pulled it, that is the rumor...

or, like anyone with a brain in their head, they can also tell them what a complete abortion that show is and how it shouldnt be put on national television because the way they do things is not the way things should get done.

hacks. any and all involved with that show.
