It is rather dumb! Compared to the obvious other show it is compared to Mythbusters it lacks a scientific basis. Also really tits and explosions.. so what? Then again if you are coming from your boring job, just been through bad traffic and the neighbours freaking dog can't stop barking. Yeah I see the position of this kind of television show. It is for when you want to switch of your brains :) Hell there are whole themed television channels where you can simple switch off your thinking, drink beer and be entertained. Now what I miss is the sticking factor. I mean really with brainiac you can only say "Hey seen that explosion on Brainiac" and what do you get back "What of the 10?"Some might feel hurt by what I am saying now but it is moronic. I remember that after a good Mythbusters and during I and the ones I life with actually talk about how we would do it? How we can see a thing to work, very interactive!You know that is why it gets a 3, it is entertainment and it works. But you simply forget it exists! It doesn't leaves anything behind! There is no sticking power no deeper thoughts. 3 out of 10 it is!

I'm an American, and to my knowledge this show hasn't yet made it to US TV so I can't actually review it. I've only seen their now infamous clip on alkali metals.Last night I saw the Mythbusters demonstrate that Brainiac faked their spectacular explosions with rubidium and cesium metal. I have to say that I'm more than a little dismayed. Like many people, I'd been taken. I remember thinking that the rubidium and cesium explosions seemed well out of proportion to the much less violent lithium, sodium and potassium reactions. But hydrogen/air/heat mixtures are highly unpredictable, and besides who can argue with empirical evidence?Lying just isn't cool, even (especially) in the cause of science education. There's no greater sin in science and engineering than faking a demo.Now I fully understand that "Brainiac: Science Abuse" is more about entertainment than science, and some forms of entertainment such as magic rely entirely on deception. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as you label it as such.But just as the occasional magician crosses the line when he claims real supernatural powers, so does an show like Brainiac when it claims to be doing real science experiments.Now if I ever do get to watch this show, I'll be too busy continually wondering if what I'm seeing is real or fake to enjoy it. It will certainly ruin whatever educational value it might have had.Shame on you guys.

I haven't watched the film yet, but I watch the series on the telly and I think it is a brilliant show! They combine fun and education in to the show which makes me laugh so much!! If you haven't watched it before, I recommend you to. It is fantastic! They do things like blowing up stuff. In the third series, they do a thing called 'Break or Bounce', and Prof. Myang Lee drops the items. I would just like to say she is absolutely stunning and has a great figure! I kind of fancy her a bit! And her boobs are really nice! Wait till you see them! They are eye-poppingly brilliant! If anyone sees her on the street, can you please tell her from me that she is really beautiful and is one of the main reasons I watch the show every day! Thanks to whoever says it to her. Who else thinks she is stunning? Write a comment back to me telling me what you think of her. I would also like to say that I think she should go on Page3 for the lads! What do you think? I'd love her to be standing in front of me naked right now because I bet her fanny is as nice as her tits! Who else wants to see her naked? Please write back to me saying what you think!

Well, I guess that "Braniac" is very stupid, but not a bad show at all. With a microscopic element of science and some British humor it created a decent Friday night entertainment. Since the creators and cast don't even try to take the show seriously, it can't be called hypocritical, and it sure as hell beats pseudo-social shows discussing "important social issues". Some episodes are just unforgettable! This Tina Turner thing is hilarious, and God, I love the nurse:) However, there is a small drawback. They never seem to credit the girls properly, and what's the deal with their website? Still, those small problems cannot rob the show it's charm. Overall rating: 7/10 so far! Keep it up!
