but the crap that the vapid producers use to hype the show ratings is intolerable... Denny I agree, Denny. I was liking JYW until first they kept putting more and more emphasis on the competition and then they started specifying the end product so closely and giving the 'experts' so much authority that both teams came to the contest with nearly identical machines. At first, the show was about creating a machine to do a job. It eventually became 'build this machine'. Which was boring. I basically quit watching with the 'Tractor Pull' episodes. The most irritating thing about Monster Garage was that they'd set a budget, and the competition was supposed to be about if they could complete the project within that budget. The episode where they turned a bus into a catamaran, they were using 12ft lengths of 4" square steel tubing that was 'scrap', so that it didn't count against the budget. I want' to know where I can find some of that scrap. -- This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)." |
