They've just started a new season of The Best Defense (http://www.fmatalk.com/showthread.php?t=1023) that is subtitled "Survival". It features the same hosts as before.
This season is focused on what to do after a disaster (hurricane, fire, nuclear attack). The production values seem higher and it was neat to see some of the sites first responders use to train for disasters, but it did seem to be appealing to a somewhat more survivalist mentality than the previous street-awareness version. It isn't aimed at hardcore survivalists, I think, but did talk about using rifles while searching for resources and such. If it doesn't go back to some hand-to-hand or everyday self-defense I may lose interest. As usual, those with an interest in practical firearm usage will find it more interesting!
