Bernie-56 This show contains a lot of stuff that's amazing, really amazing. And outrageous. And extraordinary. And really, really cool. Did I mention all the presenters think the stuff shown is amazing and cool? Amazing clips and amazing presenters with not more than a one word vocabulary. Seriously, if you're older than 14, value your time and have the slightest discernment, give this trip a wide berth.

baconbit IT is disgusting what the formerly educational/science channels have fallen to. This is not just like the show Jacka**...it is far WORSE. The cast/producers of the MTV show had a hard and fast rule. NO user submissions would ever be shown on the air. None would even be watched so there was nothing to be gained by doing dangerous stunts. Outrageous Acts of Science, or shows like The Science of Stupid on the National Geographic Channel, of course SAY "Don't try this at home." but the announcer may as well be winking while saying it, and follow it up with "But if you DO...you may just see yourself on this show some day!" So unlike MTV, these channels are encouraging stupid kids (who generally need no additional encouragement to be idiots) to endanger their lives with the hopes of getting their 15 minutes of fame. Totally irresponsible.

p-hallbus Started watching this and could not stand watching a whole episode. This program is like simple science for idiots explained by other idiots. Maybe it is aimed at children younger then 10 years old and if so why say not safe for work? As a children's show I can't really think it to be a good idea anyway. The attempted humor is also aimed at simpletons. The idea behind the show is a good one, but sadly it is not near what it could have been. First episode starts with a man spinning a sign, explaining the physics behind that is just totally pointless, it's common knowledge for anyone who's gone to school for more then 3 years. I wasted 30minutes of my life that I will never get back watching this so I wanted to write a short review to help others not waste your time on this crappy show. For some reason it has gotten good ratings and I for one can't figure out how.

RNMorton With the grossly over-publicized demise of Mythbusters on the horizon, The Discovery Channel is cramming its schedule with this production, and desperately trying to funnel thrills fans towards this smorgasboard of natural, man-made and scientific phenomena. The hour long show gives you 20 snippets of one or another slices of "science", from blowing up a house to shooting a basketball from the top of a dam. In amongst the excitement we have a bunch of real scientists giving us the low down on what we just saw. The problem is, there's just not enough really interesting stuff to make me willing to watch the dud snippets or the sometimes absurd interjections of the experts. So while I thought that this was a potential replacement for Mythbusters (maybe one of the great background TV shows of all time), on balance it's just too annoying to watch.
