I am very, very happy to announce that the pilot for my TV show, "Phil Plait’s Bad Universe" now has an official slot in the Discovery Channel lineup: Sunday, August 29th at 10:00 p.m. (ET)!

That's a bad universe! Bad! No universe this is my pot-pie! *hits the universe with a stick*

But wait, are you Phil Plait? Or are you the director or?...

Hey, that looks like a fun show. Will be giving that a look for sure.

It looks like it will be like "Mythbusters" taken to the cosmic scale. I'm sure I'm going to love that show.

(Does BBC America carry THe Sky at Night?)

The Trailer for Bad Universe is better than "It's Effin' Science" on G4.

The Trailer for Bad Universe is better than "It's Effin' Science" on G4.

That's because it's on G4. The network that can't seem to figure out what it wants to be. They have all kinds of different shows, and none of them are really that good. I'm surprised that network is still running, would have thought Comcast would have canned it by now, they're losing so much money there..

Hm, maybe I'm just bitter because they ruined TechTV...

Yeh I only watch Websoup and sometimes X-play or AOTS.

Okay I watched Bad Universe last night and OMG! most of the stuff in the trailer was from the pilot. The first experiment started with over 100 pounds of ANFO buried 8 feet underground and detenated to demonstrate a scale meteor impact in Sydney (For some reason almost all of his scenerios involved Sydney, also be at least 2 miles away from the impact. The sound, heat, and overpressure will liquify your organs). Each demonstration showed just how screwed we are if he get hit by a big ol' rock. If you missed Bad Universe on Discovery last night then you need to see it ASAP. It's simply too cool to miss.

Oh, and hope that 99932 Apostis does not hit in april of 2029.

So it was a good and interesting show then? I need to look it up, I'm sure I can find it streaming somewhere though, since I missed it.

[Seismic]

My answer: I'm not missing next week.

>99942 Apophis

Looks like it could be worth seeing.

It looks like it will be like "Mythbusters" taken to the cosmic scale. I'm sure I'm going to love that show.

When it is put like this, its a definite must go see.

[Daryn]

Right this first episode had asteroids, explosions, comets, lasers, telescopes and more explosions. I think I'm going to like this series.

[Tha_Pig]

I missed it...

[Seismic]

oh, 99942 Apophis... my memory sucks.
