Sadly that is becoming the way of Discovery Europe. But at least there is still History Night (though that is becoming a re-runfest). It was brilliant about 4-5 years ago, now there is too much of those Orange County guys... BAH! It has nothing to do with Discovery. I do like Myth Busters though, even if some of them are a bit selfexplainatory.
Hey.... What's wrong with OC guys?
I don't mind watching the OCC guys (nothing wrong with watching men play with tools and fire), but they really shouldn't be on the Discovery Channel. Mythbusters is at least vaguely scientific. And the dead pig in the Corvette episode was classic.
Sounds like we are polluting the airwaves over in Europe. It's a shame we don't get some of the UK shows here in the States, I thought some of them were quite good when I lived over there in 98-99. We get stuck with crappy remakes of the hit shows. Why they decided to remake "Men Behaving Badly" is beyond my comprehension, the original was brilliant. ~D I heard they are going to remake "The Office". Why? Just show the original! If they try to redo "Red Dwarf"...:dizzy2:
The schedules for the 3 main networks here are essentially trainwrecks, a couple of good shows and then a lot of holes/crap. Would it kill them to try to air a European show (maybe syndicated), just for filler? They might find that people like it, and it would probably cost less. There are millions of Python fans over here (Spamalot: The Musical is doing quite well), but the networks don't think that we will "get it".
Sorry, end of rant.
Or may be they can just put in Japanese Anime. ~D
Of course, and make several Discovery Shows about it that is actually worth doing: "The Study of Japanese Physiological..blah blah blah..through Anime." Since some of them are really worth it-deep and worldly-far better than Hollywood fests that filled the US market today.
Besides, I like Anime. ~D
