It wasn’t quite right, but I don’t think we can reset [after spectacularly destroying two semi-trucks].

Adam Savage: I think this is the strangest position I’ve ever been in on this show.
Kari Byron: [quietly] Notice how he qualifies it with “on this show.”
Kari Byron: [making the gun cotton for the confederate rocket myth] Ok, we’re gonna add a half ounce of [Donkey sound] to ounce of [Rooster sound] slowly!
Robert Lee, Narrator: When you add donkey to rooster you get a violent reaction.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.
-Adam Savage,
Ok. I enjoy watching Bear Grylls. He’s nuts. The good news is most likely I will never be in a situation where I need to do what he does. Thank God I won’t have to ever eat grubs or sushi in the form of raw fish or snakes. The other good news about not having to need his techniques is I probably won’t ever remember 1/2 of it if I would need it. Knowing my luck I’d eat the wrong plant and get totally sick and die.
The only thing I don’t like about the show is the fact that he catches and eats animals. I understand why he’s doing it. He’s showing how to catch and prepare food. But he really doesn’t need to… could give the techniques without actually killing the animals. It’s just my thought. It’s a very good show and I do enjoy it.
Josh Bernstein has done it again. He’s created a new show, Into the Unknown, that is both entertaining and educational. I was a big fan of his show on the History Channel – Digging for the Truth. Now he has a similar style show on Discovery – Into the Unknown. I do miss the Indiana Jones style hat.
What I like about Josh’s show is that he’s very respectful of the cultures and religions he’s exploring. He’s also very respectful of the history that he is exploring – and he looks good in a kilt (see the Roman Gladiator episode). 😀 It seems he’s not afraid of showing that he dosn’t know something. And he always seems interested in what his interveiwee are saying. And he doesn’t seem to ask stupid questions or “dumb down” the program.
I was very disappointed when Josh was replaced with Hunter Ellis. Hunter just didn’t have the right stuff for the show. He did a really interesting show on the Huntley, but the show just didn’t have a spark. I’m very pleased that Josh has a new show digging into the unknown truths.
