I love the idea of it, it’s just the execution which annoys me, far too gimmicky.
Thank you for tonight. I had no problem with what happened at the end of the show. As for the pet owner segments on the series I loved them too. I thought they were amusing. Although one wonders about how silly people would be to buy that stuff. I hope this show returns. It manages to be both amusing and informative so it deserves its success.
I also liked the Doctor Who ad as well as the Catalyst one played before it showed up.
I enjoyed this series. Though sometimes I think there was too many pet owner segments.
