Six Degrees of Everything

Watched the first episode and half of the second to be sure what I was seeing was accurate. This show is entirely unoriginal and not worth watching and sitting through commercials to see what explanation they have next. Seriously do not recommend it. When you consider it is on TruTV the network has very low credibility for quality shows. Six Degrees is no different. The guys voices are very grading like they are speaking to a kindergarten class and they don't like their job. It is difficult to take people seriously when they call Einstein a hipster. Comedy is poor. There is very little structure to the connections they make between things, making the show more like a tabloid paper that I would pass on rather than actually pay good money for. The hosts also look very uncomfortable sitting there, and that makes me uncomfortable watching the show. I don't know if it is their bad posture or their neck posture. Or their faces themselves.

To cut a long story short, "Six Degrees of Everything" is another failed attempt by the Fine Bros and truTV (who the hell are these guys anyway?) to milk their audience.

So what exactly makes this show so awful? Probably the fact that it looks so much like one more YouTube show from the infamous Fine Bros, it makes you wonder what's the point in having it shown on TV. Seriously, that design, the animation, everything about it screams YouTube.

The content of the show is nothing really special. The idea is interesting for what it is, but the skits are whatever. People are reacting to stuff here too. The only good part about the content is the history and science "lessons".

So maybe the Fine Bros are more entertaining than the content as the hosts of the show? Nah.

All in all, this 100% looks like it doesn't belong on TV and given the recent backlash the Fine Bros are getting for their greedy actions, it's well deserved. Eventually the Fine Bros are going to be fine, so no need to worry.

these thieving clowns are attempting to copyright human behavior.

The fine brothers have threatened and submitted take down requests on you-tube videos showing people reacting to... well anything. they believe they own the "format" of people watching things and have even attacked national TV broadcasters over totally unrelated segments just for featuring kids being questioned about old technology.

In episode 6 of this show for a large portion they clearly STEAL the FORMAT of VH1s "pop up videos" they even steal the exact sound effect and rounded text bubbles that are used in others formats.

I would not expect this from the same pair who openly battle other content creators for actual original content.

I and others will not buy a single product that is featured on or in the commercial breaks of this show. the clear product integration as "degrees" and the creators attacks on others have shown that any company who associates themselves at this point with the fine brothers is consciously throwing their brand away.

as these two have made themselves the IP and brand here instead of subject matter its dead in the water.

0/10 Greed and tricks will never win.

These guys made their bones on YouTube by copying decades worth of TV shows (such as: Kids Say the Darndest Things, America's Funniest Home Videos, a zillion bits on late night television), in which people "react" to something that happens. Literally everything they've done on YouTube is simply make videos of people watching other people's content on their computer. Better production values than most other YouTube videos, but that's it. Not in the least bit creative.

Their first effort doing an original show on TruTV lacks uniqueness, originality, and - well, really anything redeeming. This is not surprising, since NOTHING they've done on YouTube is actually original.

There's a reason that most of what is on YouTube is not considered quality entertainment. This show is the proof.

don't waste time with this.

This is hands down the worst thing I ever watched My sister picked it to pass time and... it was so bad.

Don't watch it. So boring the acting is terrible and so is the idea. Firstly, the lab scene was so badly done. The smoke was obviously cartoon drawn and not real.

Secondly, that bike they rode is a bike that was reported missing in my town,

Thirdly, they use profanity so much. They say the C word at least 3 times and drop multiple f bombs.
