Random Episode: Destroyed in Seconds

This blog will mostly be dedicated to bad or presumably bad television so I'm taking this opportunity to watch something enjoyable. It might be enjoyable on the most basic levels, but we've all got some blood lust, so far be it from me to turn away from the occasionally literal train wreck, Discovery Channels Destroyed in Seconds.

The title paints a pretty clear picture of what you'll get to see. Incredible explosions, buildings collapsing, and well meaning recklessness ending in the worst way possible. This show does what a dumber show, Maximum Exposure, doesn't show and that's actual death. Morbid Curiosity ensures that you don't turn away when a crane collapses into a water tower and throws a man 250 some odd feet to his untimely demise.

Our host is Ron Pitts, who you may know from Fox's NFL coverage and his cameo in Hot Shots: Part Deux!. Hes a step up from the extremely annoying Cam Brainard on Max-X, who is made more irritating as hes credited as 'Smart Aleck Announcer Dude' which is the most vomit inducing credit you'll ever see. Destroyed in Seconds lacks the campy comments and slapstick sound effects Max-X had and that's appreciated more than anything.

The show has some great moments of comedy though, surprisingly after a plane crash in the episode i was watching. Two Russian pilots had a mid-air collision, they both ejected safely and one of them, before checking on the wreckage, before checking on his partner, he lights a cigarette. Proof that nicotine is a great stress reliever once more.

So if you want to enjoy a lot of explosions and a lot of mindless fun but don't want Nicholas Cage to be involved, Destroyed in Seconds is the way to go. Consider this a stamp of approval. I have no catch phrase...yet.

I also wanted to talk about whats going on with this blog, something of a mission statement. I'm reviewing something I haven't seen before of think will be extremely stupid Sunday night through Thursday night every week and posting basically 5 days a week.

There wasn't a post yesterday because i was locked out of the blog because Blogspot thought my Paris Hilton review looked like spam. A rough start but I'm back and will be posting late Sunday night/Monday. Its okay because it got me out of watching the Americas Got Talent finale. I don't know who won. I don't care.

I still don't know what to watch Sunday night, it might be Iron Chef America. If you don't want to read about it(I don't want to write about it), I'm taking suggestions.
