Life with Derek (2005)
Unoriginal, dry, and not very funny
Like many of Disney's shows, this one is just as over acted. With dubious plot lines, overacting on the entire cast's part, questionable occurrences, and unoriginal ideas, this show is not one of the best. The lack of parentage throughout the series plays a major role; the fact that the parents never step in to solve anything or play any part in the goings on of their own home makes it even less believable.
Many of the spoofs and stunts are completely cliché, and the entire idea behind the series is annoying and poorly executed.
The only saving grace is Michael Seater's character, which is quite possibly the only good part of the entire series. His ability to stay in character is quite possibly the only highlight of this poorly thought-out television series.
Fight Science (2006)
Well worth a watch
Fight Science provided not only a lot of really neat footage, but gave valuable scientific insight to the world of martial arts. Fight Science had not only astounding evidence, but managed to disprove a few myths, and prove a few more true. It managed to compare a variety of styles, and pinpointed the various strengths and weaknesses of them all at some point or another.
The weapons portion was also quite interesting, a build up of the different weapons, how they are used, their advantages, disadvantages, and ultimately, the best weapon to use in a scientific approach.
I would also like to add that Fight Science isn't just an interesting show for the male population - I vastly enjoyed this documentary, and I am not male.
