Bear Grylls a.k.a Macgyver-'Man vs. Wild' star gets new series

Bear Grylls; motivational speaker, adventurer, humanitarian, ultimate survivor. He's a mans man. To some he could be considered an all around bad-ass; not quite Chuck Norris, but damn close.
Grylls' series 'Man vs. Wild,' which aires on Discovery Channel, has pitted him against some of the harshest elements known to man. The show's main intention is to teach its viewers how to survive if they ever find themselves in an unfathomable situation. But seeing as how I don't plan on being in air-dropped in the Siberian tundra anytime soon, I think I speak for most of the shows fans when I say that we watch this guy push himself for sport. That's how it works. Sure we all love the Discovery Channel, but only a handful of us would ever actually go to these locations just to get a few breath taking shots, lets just be real.
Grylls has risked his life in various scenarios in nature, but his new show, 'Worst Case Scenario,' places Grylls in situations that seem a little more feasible: escaping apartment fires, making it out of shark attacks, what to do if you've been involved in a serious car wreck, etc.
Sure, there've been other shows with the same premise, but this is Bear Grylls! He drank his own pee on national television! If hollywood was talking about rebooting the Indiana Jones franchise, he gets top bidding. Given his extreme survival tactics from 'Man vs. Wild,' I'm excited to see what this series will have him do. I wonder if he'll give tips on the best way to deal with the savage wrath of a p.m.s.-ing girlfriend?
'Worst Case Scenario' premieres this spring on the Discovery Channel.
