a new plasma screen television. Actually it isn't going to be me that catches it but rather the contestants on this wacky new show called Catch It Keep It. The Discovery Science Channel has come up with the premise for a new game show where engineering types are pitted against one another to rescue prized artifacts from certain destruction, if they succeed they get to keep the object of their rescue.
If you are the do it yourself type that likes to make things then this has got to be the show for you. Even if you can’t appreciate the technical aspect of the show there is still plenty of suspense as they think of novel ways to threaten the existence of prized objects. The hosts of the show Zach Selwyn will pit three contestants working together against house engineer and master of disaster Mike Senese to save the precious item. Mike’s job is to invent ever more diabolical ways to make our stomachs growl with anticipation.
In the opening preview it will be a plasma television dropped from the mast of a crane, but they get more creative/destructive than that. The contestants have 48 hours to devise a way to make the object of their desiring blast proof, fire proof, impact resistant, UPS proof, or watch it destroyed before their eyes.
I haven’t figured out how they are going to decide who gets to try first, cause you can only destroy a storied electric guitar once, I guess we will have to watch to figure out how it all works, or fails. I’ve already thought up the ultimate challenge, how to make that guitar United Airlines proof. Search under United Breaks Guitars for details on that apocalyptic scenario. It is to bad that the new management around here couldn’t make a contest like that. What could you catch around here that you could keep? On second thought, scratch that idea.
