There's a new show, Really Big Things, hosted by the moronic Matt Rogers. I like the premise of the show - big rear end machines in action, but the host has got to go. I expect him to say "Git 'r dun" after every segment.

Robot Relations posted:That's probably true. Jamie seems like he'd be a real humorless rear end in a top hat to work with or for and of the few times he's laughed at Adam's jokes or actions, none of them sounded genuine in the least. Did you see the episode where they were testing methods to pass the Breathalyzer? Jamie looks like he'd be a mean drunk.

I'm watching Man vs Wild and Grylls is in Alaska. I swear, if he says "glassy-uh" for glacier one more time, I'm going to scream. It's "gley-sher" goddammit!

Anybody going to watch Decoding Nostrodamus? I don't believe he predicted a damned thing, myself. I read James Randi's book about him and one the major points Randi made was that none of Nostrodamus' original manuscripts exist. All we have are copies of copies of copies. He also noted that the interpretations changed throughout the years based on the morality and political climate of the time.

mistermojo posted:this season or the previous season of Mythbusters, its like they told Jaimie to 'be funny' because he keeps making weird jokes and puns and not then smiling afterwards I don't think Jamie laughs or smiles about a whole lot. He creeps me out sometimes with his seriousness. I'm not sure I want to know what really makes him laugh.

I'm going to throw in a little Animal Planet action here. I'm watching the new season of Meerkat Manor (subtitled "The Next Generation") and I really don't like Stockard Channing as the narrator. She's reading the script with all the emotion of someone reciting a telephone book. Bring back Sean Astin, drat you!

Brick Hardmeat posted:I left Shark Week running in the background while doing chores, and I just caught there's a ghost hunter show on. Because EVERY niche channel will succumb to the ratings beast in the end. I remember when the Sci-Fi Channel didn't suck rear end (BSG is the exception). They show wrestling for god's sake! The Game Show Network (now GSN) used to show those hilarious 70s game shows, and now it's loving poker. Bravo, AMC, and many others have dropped dramatically in quality.

Martytoof posted:Wings used to have this fantastic show about building your own kit plane. I watched the gently caress out of that and never wanted to be a pilot more than I did then. Was that "A Plane is Born" with Mark Evans? I enjoyed all of his "...is Born" series.

Martytoof posted:I honestly don't remember the show, but it had a real hobbyist DIY feel to it and I think it had other aviation stuff like product reviews so unless all his other .. is born stuff was aviation specific I think it was another show. He built a helicopter, too, but his other shows were car related.

LordOfThePants posted:I'm watching Time Warp right now - it looked like they were doing those dry-ice bombs without a blast shield? That's nuts - a PET bottle could seriously screw you up if it went off that close, I'm surprised no one got hurt. Either I just missed the blast shield or they got incredibly lucky. This show is really boring. I gave it my best shot, but there's not much to this. Good idea. Poor execution.

Universe Master posted:"It takes a lot out of me as I really do what I do for real, with no camera crew, no nights in hotels like others do, and it takes a toll on my body," Stroud told Reuters. He said the same on last night's show. I got a chuckle. Man vs Wild is okay, but Grylls can be annoying as gently caress.

But the way the announcer went on about it and said something like "We even love saying the word! SKEET SKEET SKEET!" He may have been doing it on purpose knowing that not everyone would get it.

New episode tonight: Destruction Derby Special 2 Hour Season Premiere! Flipping a Bus (Based on the Movie "Speed") Fan Revisit!: The Car Pancaked Between 2 Trucks! Hollywood Crash Tests into a Fruit Cart! And Can a Car survive a 4,000 Foot Drop? I saw the car pancaked between two trucks the other day and wondered why they didn't just attach the car to the front of one truck and then rammed into the other truck at speed. Or possibly have put the whole lot on rails.

Supreme Allah posted:He's just obviously getting older. He sounds and looks more tired and his beard starts coming in white halfway through the show. When he "retired" the first time, he mentioned that he couldn't recover as quickly as he once did. Then he did those 10-day expeditions. And now he's back the 7-day adventures. Still better than Bear Grylls.
