Dream Cars - a factual nightmare


I just struggled through 10 minutes on the KTM X-bow. Who writes this drivel...a 12-year old intern? Does anyone actually know ANYTHING about cars? Is there no proofreader assigned to the script, or does that individual also lack any automotive knowledge?

Aside from insipid sing-song dialog that insults my intelligence minute-to-minute, I can generally pick out at least 15-20 factual errors in every episode, from mismatched clips/narration, to outright incorrect terminology.

I guess any garbage qualifies to fill programming time.....I really miss the time when these channels actually provided "scientific" information in a straightforward manner, instead of dumbing it all down to trailer park level.

There are occasional bright spots, but if astronomers really want to study black holes, they should take a look at the programming on "educational" channels.
