To cash in on the fact that Mythbusters is totally awesome, Discovery came out with a similar show in which a team of 4 do scientific experiments for the hell of it. They basically go around and try to come up with solutions to problems that don't exist. And fail at it. Its like Mythbusters with condescending hosts, incredibly flawed experiments, total lack of a point and total lack of science. They even do the same experiments Mythbusters has already done, but the difference is they do them really poorly. Its like a Micheal Bay version of Mythbusters.

Here is a rundown of today's episode, for example:
Today, on Smash Lab, I learned that half of a 90 degree angle is 30 degrees. I also learned that aluminum is affected by magnetic fields.
I'm starting to think this show is designed purely for the people that lose in Fox game shows, because they are just making crap up now.


The Wikipedia article is similarly educational, as well:

Said By Wiki

They use an air cannon to fire debris at the mobile home - which is lightly damaged by the debris. This episode demonstrated the fine use of googling high-strength to weight ratios while failing miserably in an attempt to educate viewers.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!

I said the EXACT same thing to all my friends.

I'm glad someone else sees through the garbage.

It is Mythbusters with a bad set of hosts and non-scientific experiments that only serve to blow or damage stuff.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Bogglingly, it seems enough people managed to sit through such crap that Discovery is giving it another go.
