This video would be so much more interesting if it weren't for

- The utter sissy-ness of the host. "It makes the hairs stand up on my neck! oooOOooo"

- The 10 or so different filters and colour corrections they have on the images.

- The stupid overly dramatic music and sound effects.

Shows like this can be really interesting if they didn't treat the viewer like they were complete idiots who's attention can't be maintained for more than 1 second without a catchy video-edit.

I watch a lot of PBS, The new SCI channel etc, and almost all of them now follow this fucking annoying format.

The worst is "POP SCI: THE SCIENCE OF...." If you've never seen it, they have some really interesting subjects, dumbed down to near hillbilly level. Another show, "The Science of the movies" is super informative, but you just want to punch the host in his face because he can't stop making stupid jokes. ARRGHH.
