Tax dollars pay for this rubbish!

This has to be one of the worst CBC programs ever produced. It occasionally professes to be science based but is as scientific as the E! show on which host Jessi Cruickshank spent time.

With fake audio sweetening, producers intend the studio audience of about 2 dozen mostly inanimate people to sound like hundreds of exuberant devotees. The audio fits as well as laugh tracks on early Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

I suspect someone at CBC watched "Canada's Greatest Know It All" on Discovery Channel and set about dumbing-down the concept and turning out a game show that would have made Chuck Barris happy in the 1970's.

Productions such as this probably would not exist except for the billions of dollars extracted from cable TV subscribers and dispersed by the Canadian Media Fund.
