"It was my dad's want and will to have all this filmed and aired," his son, Josh Harris, says as Discovery prepares to show Phil Harris' final days. "The show is a story about our lives. And nine or 10 months out of the year, we're up north in Alaska on a boat together, and it's just what we've done.

Atmosphere is the real hero of all these shows and music is the sidekick, be it R&B, jazz, or as is the case in 'Justified,' bluegrass tinged with rap."
