Is it just me, or is How It's Made one of the most boring-rear end shows ever made? Not just because they're talking about the fascinating world of vegetable oil and masking tape manufacturing, but because they use the worst supermarket jazz they can find to play behind a narrator who couldn't make the Statue of Liberty becoming sentient and smashing through New York sound interesting.

The only way to show it to you is for me to go in." I imagine that a Man vs. Wild episode about the Mall of America would play out like the John Hodgman bit about the mall from his book. "I call the mall's PR people to ask why they are exiling the Egyptians and also to ask about the secret tunnel I found that leads from Camp Snoopy to Pottery Barn and is lined with human skulls. This is when the Mall of America stops returning my calls. This happens sometimes when professional journalists ask the wrong questions. I'm frozen out. From here on, I'm going rogue."

inignot posted:WTF is this "Smash Lab" nonsense debuting tonight? It's going to either suck rear end or serve as a bandwagon dilution of Mythbusters. Either way I fail to see how Discovery benefits. It seems like Mythbusters except with real-life applications and 100% more insulting repetition of what just happened or what is going to happen.

You know what? I really kinda hate It Takes a Thief. The schadenfreude is amusing at first, but then you realize that they're giving rich, irresponsible assholes free stuff for being irresponsible assholes. If you spend your obviously huge amounts of money on 30 designer handbags instead of paying for a security system, then you deserve to be robbed. And if you've been robbed multiple times without doing anything to better secure your house, then all you deserve is a smack in the face.
