Better Late Then Never

Absolutely Fantastic

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

They decided they needed a fresnel lens for a project. And he proceeded to write it on the project board as a "frenel" lens while boasting how he used to work with them in a laboratory, had that been the case I'm sure he would have written and spoke the actual lens name correctly. He did not. ....strike one...Then the whole concrete boat theory episode....well, having sailed since the 70s, I've seen hundreds of concrete vessels of all shapes and sizes, sail, power, houseboats, tugs, barges and more. So I had a very hard time trying to grasp the point of their "experiment" strike two. then the "Volvo powerslides" episode. Ummm...hitting the E brake while turning is not a power slide guys. Strike three...I want to like this wanna be mythbusters, but it seems so full of erroneous info, and the real concern is they try so hard to pass this bad info off as legit science, it's kinda a bad thing to be gearing this towards kids, as the info on almost every show I've seen is flawed badly. I'm frankly shocked they were renewed to season two. Although the production costs are probably a go-pro and a home depot credit card. So that explains a lot.I'll give it 3 stars for the effort made to hit their audience with bogus info and poorly strategized experiments.

A couple reviews state that "frenel" lenses don't exist - true, it is spelled fresnel but it is pronounced in English as fray-nel. The Fresnel lens was invented by French physicist Augustin- Jean Fresnel. The French would pronounce it freh-nehl. So please first check your knowledge of how something is spelled/pronounced. I gave this show a 10 because I'm tired of shows like Mythbusters. Kevin and Grant take failed experiments from YouTube and do it so that it DOES succeed without the damage it causes to the YouTube users. And its a limited budget. It is two buddies working out of a garage, having fun and seeing how far they can go to make something succeed. They made a 400lb concrete boat float!!! I want to know how many people can do that without knowing the science and math to make it actually work! What a breath of fresh air for a show. My whole family loves it!

Contrary to what the other reviewer says after he obviously spent some time with wiki and going into a whole dialog about french pronunciations, the guy in the show went into a whole whiteboard plot about "Frenel" lenses, misspelled it and wrote frenel and mispronounced it during the whiteboard and their brainstorm session.. spend some time watching the show and you'll understand that some of us actual smart people don't need to wiki a pronunciation of "fray-nel" as the guys writing frenel and pronouncing "freh-nel" throughout the episode.Sometimes trying so hard to be smart (and right) shows ones own stupidity and thusly reinforcing this shows target audience image..Otherwise, a poorly produced show, it has so many poorly executed theories and plots that it is actually probably not a good idea to let kids watch it lest they learn incorrect scientific theories and believe them to be true.Waste of a good network time slot.

I enjoy this new show, and... the Science behind most of their weekly projects. It's a fun show. The whole family can enjoy watching this together. (And you may just learn something :) The cast are also light hearted..they enjoy attempting newer levels of perfection, pointing out where others have failed. And simply apply science and research to making it work ! The show is never boring...it will keep you tuned in each weekend. Science and Math both play a part in each of their projects or challenge as well as Physics. The show's name.." What could possibly go Wrong?" is the right name for this suspense packed show. The Cast, Grant and Kevin actually do serious research, they know many of their projects require safety, research, math, chemistry, physics, weather conditions, momentum, temperature, design and ingenuity. The other fun thing, regarding the several projects that they work on (each week) is that they actually break new records, prove science and perfect others failed attempts.
