Clever

Seen it. It's not that interesting. Geogie Parker couldn't control herself. Then again.... 8)

Aha. And we all watched "Baywatch" for it's gripping content. Hmmm, may rethink choice of words.....

TV shows like Brainiac and Clever are better left to technical people for the execution, rather than TV personalities pretending to have a clue. I have a talkaholic engineer friend who starred in a "Survivor" advert who'd be a natural for the part, he even has the necessary explosives license.

typical Australian garbage as usual.

** Err - the show has been on air for the last two Sundays.

** It is not really like any of those .

** It's better than the mindless "Brainiac".

........ Phil

Almost all the stunts have been taken directly from Brainiac so far. Blowing up caravans with static electricity, and walking on custard are just two examples.

Far worse IMO. Both have exactly the same crappy experiments. However the stupid game format adds nothing at all in "Clever", but the Brainiac girls provided the only reason to watch either show :-) I certainly won't be watching any more episodes of "Clever". (Should be renamed "Stupid", but I guess it's the aussie joke of calling something the opposite.)

MrT.

In that case it is a direct ripoff, I have seen both of those stunts on Brainiac. That's seriously lame.

It made me watch a few times but the novelty wore off :->

Brainiac was seriously bad.

Mythbusters is still compulsive viewing. Even if they get it technically wrong sometimes, the characters are great fun, and the stuff they build is cool. Where do I get one of Adams "I do all my owns stunts" T-Shirts?

** Very stupid to take what T wrote literally and without proof - like that. ** MB is unique - and Aussie produced too.

......... Phil

You have proof to the contrary of course! (NOT)

What I said is quite true, as you would well know if you had actually watched the shows.

MrT.

Blowing

Agreed. I won't be watching it any more.

the

girls

Agreed, and they even cut the girls out when they shifted it to an earlier time slot anyway.

Agreed, but not nearly as bad as "Clever".

Sometimes? :-) What they desperately need is some real scientists on the team, and proper research. Revisiting the same myth three times, and admitting they were wrong the first time, is not really that good IMO.

Yes, would be a great show with a bigger budget and some real science. In the meantime they have fun blowing up things at other peoples expense. Good luck to them!

MrT.

I'll stick on a DVD instead I think.

I was of that opinion at the start but I now think the appeal of the show (for me anyway) is that lack of a rigorous scientific approach. Watching two hams goofing around and making mistakes is great fun!

Yep, gotta take the bad with the good though I guess.

It would be interesting to see what a bigger budget could do, but I suspect it would ruin the "backyard" feel to it all which I like.

Bastards! How does one get a job like that?

Dave :)

"Mr.T"

** Blatant non sequitur.

** It was self opinionated crap.

** More self opinionated crap plus logical fallacies en parade.

......... Phil

I have no reason to doubt him, so I'll happily take his word for it thanks.

If it worries you so much Phil, how about you confirm or deny it had those segments? You've seen it, right?

Dave :)

Been done...

I'm not sure if Australia uses the same system.

Fuck off Phil. If it's the Jim Rowe I assume you are referring to, I doubt if he'd be seen dead talking to an autistic toaster wrecker like you. :P

Yeah, Phil is showing off again because *the* Jim Rowe talked to him on the phone a couple of times. It's all here somewhere:

LMAO!

Dave :)

Even if we did, 272 Km/h on an Australian road with the nutcase drivers we have would be sure and certain Suicide .....

Here we go again .... just like a kids toy - wind him up and off he goes....
