Jimmy Smith was another Ax Men castmember who really helped set the tone for the show. As a veteran of the industry, Smith had seen and done it all.
He often served as a calming presence on screen. He was a leader who seemed to know exactly what to make of every situation.
Basically, the problem was that Smith was logging certain areas without a license by claiming that natural events had made them legal to access. Look, by now everyone knows that many reality shows are embellished in some way. While some are outright fake, others simply heighten existing information for the purposes of entertainment.
It seems Ax Men included a few examples of both approaches. For instance, they might say that an employee was a rookie when they really had quite a few years of experience. Reports of these editing mishaps vary pretty wildly, but the running theme involves the supposed fights that the crew members got in. You may recall that there were quite a few times during the show that everyone seemed to be at each other's throats or were otherwise acting childish.
According to many of the people who actually worked in those companies - and the company owners - the History Channel decided early on to focus on these dramatic moments and encourage them whenever possible. Apparently, there were many times when they would rush to capture a minor debate between workers.
There were also plenty of moments when the production team would edit certain sequences in a way that made them seem much more dramatic. For the companies featured on Ax Men , the additional exposure certainly had short-term pay-offs. Their names were on the map and they began receiving quite a bit of fan mail.
However, some of the logging companies that left the series later said that they posted their best years after they had left the show.

The across-the-pond adaptation with Joel McHale was ordered to pilot but failed to get picked up at NBC in and Like so much '80s television, the original "Knight Rider" is over-celebrated. The s classic nighttime soap got a CW makeover in , but the brand wasn't enough to keep an audience interested, especially on a network that was doing rich young people drama better on shows like "Gossip Girl" and even " Critics and audiences agreed: It was canceled after three episodes and was easily as disappointing as the film.
Helen Mirren broke out big time as a rare female detective fighting crime and the sexism of her fellow cops in a hit series first introduced in But NBC's version, starring Maria Bello, struggled to find its voice and lasted just 13 episodes. Bryan Fuller tried to put his stamp on a reboot of the s series, "The Munsters," and it's still a bit of a cult classic among his fervent fans, but NBC never ordered the show to series.
At least we will always have the pilot, which aired in , which is more than you can say for most pilots that don't get picked up to series.
Blair Underwood has done some memorable TV work, starting with his career-making role on "L. Needless to say, "Broadchurch" is producing a third season, and "Gracepoint" was canceled after just one in The reboot of the s series began in and lasted three seasons, but the canned, laugh track sitcom felt very old fashioned and led to some miserable ratings.
