We Now Know the ‘Alaskan Bush People’ Season 8 Premiere Date (For Real This Time)
It’s official, or at least as official as anything can be when you’re dealing with the Brown family.
Season 8ish of Alaskan Bush People premieres on Discovery Channel Aug. 19 with a new episode (probably a recap, season preview or “Lost Footage” episode) at 8pm ET/PT followed by another new episode at 9pm ET/PT that’s most likely the real Season 8ish premiere.
You’ll notice that the series shifts from Wednesday to Sundays this season, so plan your drinking accordingly. I don’t think Sunday Night Football‘s ratings will suffer.
Season 8ish will debut nearly a year after Discovery aired the Season 7ish finale, in which the Browns scouted out some new land to live on in Colorado.
The Browns were still in the Los Angeles area for Mother Ami’s cancer treatments when the Christmas special was shot last fall. Matt, Gabe and Noah didn’t have enough Bushmas spirit to participate.
Since then, we’ve known that the Browns abandoned whatever plans they had in Colorado and moved their whole operation to an area near Loomis in northern Washington state. Can’t wait to hear Billy’s explanation for that.
Season 8ish was originally supposed to debut in May, but a number of excuses factors contributed to production delays: Gabe’s flu-like symptoms, Billy and Bam’s squabbling over storylines, a harsh winter that really wasn’t that harsh, severe flooding, problems with the road leading up to the new property, general stupidity, a shortage of prime rib, and long lines at local liquor stores and weed shops.
The good people at Alaskan Bush People Exposed have revealed a few plot points from the upcoming season, including that the Browns are building a barn on the property and are pretending to live in teepees (!) until more permanent structures can be built.
If you’ve wondered how this show could get any worse, there’s your answer.
Alaskan Bush People, Season 8(ish) premiere, Sunday, Aug. 19, 9/8c, Discovery Channel

Well, just make my day, my week, my month, my year!! As luck would have it I am due to return from my wondering wandering in the desert 🌵 on August 18th. I shall hop the first Grayhound bus to my abode, get some chocolate 🍫 covered pretzels 🥨 and sit back in my newly refurbished Amana refrigerator box 📦 and watch the fun begin. It has been a long time pal and I can’t rememer whom has the beard 🧔; Noah or Ami?

They're the same type of people who get really pissed at Mommy and Daddy when they find out Santa isn't real.
TV is fake, folks. No need to get all angry. There's no such thing as "real" reality tv.

Billy is a child molesting welfare cheat and lifelong conman.

You'd be shocked at the number of people who think Alaskan Bush People is real and that the Browns actually live like they're portrayed on TV.

They need to wise up. They're just a bunch of fakes.

Not really. They put it across as if they were genuine. Then they get busted for evading taxes. Not cool. Squatters. Yet, they know how to go shopping, buy cigarettes, and everything else.

I'm an avid hate watch fan of the Alaskan/Coloradoian/Washingtonian/Californian Brown clan! The teepee storyline is a slippery slope for production and it will be interesting to see how they will diss the culture whose ancestors lived in them.

You're not bush people. You came from Texas, and where ever else. Who cares if you're living in the woods. Get real and BE REAL. So fake and fake sucks.You use technology just like the rest of us. Laptops and everything else. Just get real.
