I really want to like this show...
...I think it has a lot of promise. There are some tidbits of solid information put forth by Bushwood as the host. I think they really need to solidify the acting though. There's no way some of the scams he shows were done as they want us to believe. Case in point, the ticket scalper segment. The host approaches a scalper to buy a ticket, and the narration is telling the viewer how to avoid paying top dollar. The 'scalper' was such a poor actor, he tried so hard to avoid looking like one but failed miserably. His body language, including looking RIGHT AT the camera at one point, was laughable. I wouldn't mind these segments if they didn't try to act like the host was actually out 'on the street' doing the scams, and instead just brought people back into his shop area to demonstrate.
