Previewing Alaska State Troopers


Alaska State Troopers

With Cops going into its twenty-second season, it is odd there hasn’t been that many imitators over the year that try to capitalize on its longevity. The National Geographic Channel will give following law officers a try starting tomorrow night with Alaska State Troopers. What the show has going for it is the setting is a beautiful landscape that is probably more stunning for those that have access to the channel’s HD Channel. But on the other hand, most criminals try to get away with their infractions at night and I can’t image HD at night is much more stunning than standard definition.

The first episode takes you to the annual Arctic Man Ski and Sno-Go Classic which s the Alaskan version of spring Break where the drunken buffoons outnumber the troopers 750-1. Unfortunately with temperature regularly below zero, no girl going wild are found, but with alcohol freely flowing, there are still plenty of other stupid human tricks for the State Troopers to reign in including one especially bad liar they run into.

Later this season, the Alaska State Troopers run into illegal moos hunters, an eleven year old runaway (Alaska has the highest rate of missing persons reports in the country), snowmobile accidents, and the occasional shootouts. Although as of the first couple episodes, no troopers have made an appearance at the Palin compound.

Alaska State Troopers airs Wednesdays at 10:00 on the National Geographic Channel. Check out a preview clip below:

  2. The first episode should be posted on Hulu within a week but for the subsequent episodes it may take up to 90 days after the broadcast premiere to appear on the site.
