Attack Of The Show is a much more fitting title, and the crew seems to be happy to fit into their own Converses, baggy jeans, and t-shirt that they got for free for sending in a postage-paid postcard.
The first episode, now a couple weeks ago, involved inserting a thumb-sized webserver appliance into the ass of a willing subject. Yes, a doctor inserted it into the person's ass, still connected to the internet, and people could view a page served from inside volunteer's ass.
Now, if it were The Screen Savers, they might have gone that far with a skit, but they would have told us who made the webserver, what it's capabilities were, what operating system it used, what it's power requirements were.
Attack Of The Show, however, could not be burdened with such trivial pieces of data. The webserver was in some guy's ass. That's show-worthy!
The show isn't so interesting anymore. The Screen Savers was amusing, in the "watch them act uncomfortable" way that seeing your high-school teachers interviewed on TV is funny. They put work into creating a show that the hosts can slip into quickly and comfortably, and that's to their benefit. Before, when they borrowed links from last week's B3ta and did a piss-poor job of interviewing intelligent, thoughtful guests, it was a mess of a show. Now, stealing links and crappy interviews is expected, possibly encouraged. That doesn't interest me.
