On SmashLab

Discovery channel rolled out their latest show for the 2008 called SmashLab. First time I saw the previews for the show I was intrigued, but upon actually sitting through an episode I have figured out the equation they used to create the show. Ready? Behold:MythBusters – Intelligence – Knowledge + Acting School Rejects + Big Budget = SmashLabI mean you have got to be fucking kidding me??? Do these guys know what they are doing at all? I would love to see educational/job background on any of them. It’s like watching trained chimps trying to build a nuclear bomb. “What would happen if we build it this way, and wrap the whole thing in dust tape?” “I don’t know, but let’s smash a bus into it and see what happens!!!! HELL YEAH!!!”. Please, Discovery, the intelligence level of your audience is higher than that. Get those hacks off the air.

    Agreed. A blatant rip off of the real deal. In the American tradition of, “if some is good, obscenely more is better.”

    The inaccuracies in this show are too numerous to mention! Have they no consultants to provide even an elementary review? Their graphics do not match reality (ref. ball thrower Hurricane House). My twelve year old daughter has caught several errors!
