Did anyone else watch this on Discovery? I thought it was a very interesting concept, though more than a bit unrealistic. My wife and I enjoyed it, though some of the obviously "acted" parts were subject to us giving them the MST3K treatment.
The concept was basically 10 survivors of a disaster trying to survive afterwards in a controlled experiment. Hrm.... wonder how the TalkBass crew would fare in that situation?

Just kidding! I've seen a few episodes, it's an alright show. Members here could always fend off raiders by engaging in extended discussions about their preference to P basses or J basses. And boutique basses could be strong enough to be used as weapons.

Somehow I think a large part of the food scavenging would involve hunting for bacon

"How do I get a girlfriend?"
"What do you think about ear gauging?"
"Did you guys see Kanye West?" |

Everyone else can tinker with the shower, generator, and build weapons, and I'll come down once in awhile for a snack and drink and then return upstairs for my grilled cheese sandwich. But I wouldn't know, I've never seen the show.  |

I think the Smurfs had a better dude to chick ratio than TalkBass. |

I'm gonna catch a snowflake on my tongue!" That or we'd tel them to go make sure it's real snow. That's where I got my username from too.
