Clever

[David L. Jones]

Just saw an ad for a new show on CH9 called "Clever" due to start
Sunday night.
Looks like a Mythbusters/Brainiac style show with a bit of Guiness
World Records thown in.
"How to beat a speed camera while doing 300km/h" is one of the gems.
What are the odds it's be a total shocker?
Appologies for inferring Brainiac is in the same catergory as
Mythbusters!

TV shows like Brainiac and Clever are better left to technical
people for the execution, rather than TV personalities pretending
to have a clue. I have a talkaholic engineer friend who starred
in a "Survivor" advert who'd be a natural for the part, he even
has the necessary explosives license.

typical Australian garbage as usual.

Seen it. It's not that interesting. Geogie Parker couldn't control
herself.
Then again.... 8)


Aha. And we all watched "Baywatch" for it's gripping content. Hmmm, may
rethink choice of words.....

** Err - the show has been on air for the last two Sundays.

Looks like a Mythbusters/Brainiac style show with a bit of Guiness

** It is not really like any of those .

** It's better than the mindless "Brainiac".

** It is not really like any of those .

Almost all the stunts have been taken directly from Brainiac so far. Blowing
up caravans with static electricity, and walking on custard are just two
examples.

** It's better than the mindless "Brainiac".

Far worse IMO. Both have exactly the same crappy experiments. However the
stupid game format adds nothing at all in "Clever", but the Brainiac girls
provided the only reason to watch either show I certainly won't be
watching any more episodes of "Clever".
(Should be renamed "Stupid", but I guess it's the aussie joke of calling
something the opposite.)

In that case it is a direct ripoff, I have seen both of those stunts on
Brainiac.
That's seriously lame.

It made me watch a few times but the novelty wore off :->
Brainiac was seriously bad.

Mythbusters is still compulsive viewing. Even if they get it
technically wrong sometimes, the characters are great fun, and the
stuff they build is cool.
Where do I get one of Adams "I do all my owns stunts" T-Shirts?

You have proof to the contrary of course! (NOT)

What I said is quite true, as you would well know if you had actually
watched the shows.

I have no reason to doubt him,

so I'll happily take his word for it thanks.

** Makes you a dumb as dog shit, pig ignorant ass.

Heeee - haaawww ...

If it worries you so much Phil, how about you confirm or deny it had
those segments? You've seen it, right?

** I have seen the all three shows and the items mentioned.

While YOU fucking well have **NOT** .

Not that it makes any difference to a brain dead, autistic cunt like YOU -
DLJ.

Jim Rowe WARNED me you a were a complete weirdo and a demented compewter
geek.

He was bang on.

If it's the Jim Rowe I assume you are referring to,

** The long time staff member and later editor of Electronics Australia
magazine.

The same man who published many "letters to the editor", devoted a whole
Forum plus follow up and nine individual project articles from me.

That Jim Rowe.

The one who resigned in disgust when the magazine was turned into a rag
called EAT.

[Phil Allison]

"David L. Jones"

Yeah, Phil is showing off again because *the* Jim Rowe talked to him on
the phone a couple of times.

** Far more than a couple of time and more than a few times in his office at
EA magazine.

LMAO!

** Like any brainless hee- hawing ass.

How can a simple statement of fact be "self opinionated crap"?
(I expect you to give me a definitive answer here, since you are the number
one usenet practicing expert on "self opinionated crap")


For the record then, are *YOU* saying that blowing up a caravan with static
electricity, and walking on custard did *NOT* appear on both shows?
How much money are you willing to put on it, or are you just flapping your
gums as usual?

Then of course there is Leo's famous Silicon Chip editorial about
aus.electronics and a certain person we all know!

A complete wash, as expected. What a waste of half an
hour, and an opportunity to have done a worthwhile show.

Actually, it is a waste of a full hour. I endured the first installment, but
felt so unclean after watching it that I won't risk it again.

Regards,
John.
