I watched it last week and it was not as bad as usual. I get sick of the obnoxious techno guy trying to save the the day, while trying to do something that is virturally impossible, and the O'Neal wanna be guying barking at him to just get it done. They go back and forth bickering for about 1/ 3 of the show, until they both save the day with the help of their two loyal noble savages. EVERY week, the same scenario. Last week was different. If they could mix it up a little, I could watch it more. Maybe when the shook up the cast, they did so with the writers as well.
