I did a bit more research into the hosts of the show. If the Discovery website is to be believed:
- Two of them have BS in Mechanical Engineering
- One has BS in Industrial Design
- One may not have a degree, but has designed surgical tools for robots and is a chairman of “Shared Design Alliance”
So, then the question is why aren’t they acting like they have degrees and know something about engineering? I’m guessing the answer lies in the producer(s) of the show, and thus he/she/they should be fired inanimately. I don’t want to see Fisher Price version of MythBusters, I want to see a show about crash testing. I want to see the science behind the tests, and their purpose. I know that equations don’t make good television, but if you are going to convince me that these guys put half of thought into these experiments I want to see some goddamn proof. Blowing crap up in your backyard and videotaping it is reserved for YouTube. If you’re gonna do it on nationwide TV do it right.
