Q: What happened to the reality shows dealing with guns? I enjoyed watching "Top Shot," where contestants competed using different weapons, as well as two others: "Sons of Guns" and the one with the gun appraiser from "Pawn Stars."
I have some potentially good news for you. "Top Shots" is still on; it's just moved (way) down the cable lineup. After having aired for four years on History, it was canceled in 2013. However, it was picked up by Outdoor Channel, which still airs new episodes.
Indeed, Outdoor Channel seems to be the place for gun-TV aficionados such as yourself. It has a number of firearm-themed reality shows in its lineup.

Moana
Moana (Cravalho), future chief of her people, lives on a small island in the Pacific Ocean. As a toddler, the ocean itself marks her as the chosen one, the hero who will heal the mother island, Te Fiti, save the islanders and restore their heritage. Years later, when the fish begin to disappear and the crops die, Moana's grandmother (House) explains that the heart of Te Fiti was stolen by the demigod Maui (Johnson), and that the demon Te Ka is destroying all in her path in search of it. Moana sets sail to return the stone to the goddess, meeting up with Maui along the way, but she soon discovers that Maui is more interested in getting his demigod powers back than he is in risking his own skin to save the world.

Big top taste: Bold foods turn up in an unexpected place
Noah Cappe hosts "Carnival Eats"
Carnivals sure are a feast for the senses, aren't they? The high-pitched shrieks as a roller-coaster thunders past blends with the heavy smell of ozone near the electric-powered bumper cars. The raucous ring-a-ding-dings from the games as people win prizes just works with the garish signs and billboards that shout out their messages with some absolutely bizarre color combinations.
