New Discovery Cahnnel series, into it's third episode.
TDC has tried to reclaim the success of "Myuthbusters", but to me none of the other wannbe series had the interest or cast to sell it, but this new series does.
It's leads are Billy Mays (yeah, the extremely vocal Oxy Clean guy commercial guy) and the Australian commercial guy Anthony Sullivan.
They butt heads constantly and make me think the second season will see one of then walk off or have to leave the series, but they "work".

I've been enjoying the show. Billy Mays is fun to watch (though he can be incredibly thick in the skull [see the shark protection device episode]) and a little easy to get pissy. Sullivan is a little arrogant, but I like his occassionally too blunt honesty.
What they basically do is find products from inventors, invite them in to demo the product, and if they think it'll sell, they cut a deal and mak a commercial (after testing the product to make sure it works and people will buy it).
Some inventions are down right stupid, while some are interesting. Anyone who has seen the "Shuffles" episode will appreciate the comment I made on IMDB:
