I had high hopes for this show on the numerous Discovery Channel promos for it. I am unable to watch the actual episodes because of time conflicts, but I did catch a rerun of the Concrete episode last night. Wow... To copy the words of another poster, it was like watching the concrete dry! The main problem is that the "scientist" have no idea what they are talking about, nor do they conduct real experiments! I could have pulled out a pen and paper and did the calculations for the stupid barrier experiment in about ten minutes with a cost totaling... $0! Then it gets better, we see the first one with the hardest concrete, the car almost goes over. Then in the medium concrete the car goes over. Yet they ask and wonder.. Will the Car go through the soft concrete? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if it went through the medium density concrete, it IS going to to through the soft concrete! I also caught part of another episode where they use special fabric to "re-enforce stuff". The first part of the 2x4 experiment everyone stands in the middle of the board, and the girl jumps to the middle. But when the place the fabric on there they stand no where near the middle! How can this be an effective experiment! It seemed like an advertisement for the fabric company!
This show (hopefully) will not be on long!
