Robot Combat League - Mondays (Syfy)
 
** I didn't see a thread and search didn't pull one.

Anyone watch this? Thoughts?

I watched it (well, FF'd a lot of it). It was fucking awful. Boring leadup, then the match itself was a joke. Herky-jerky robots attached to huge pivoting arms, swinging aimlessly at each other, with occasional sparks and mini-explosions set off by someone off camera, not related to any of the action. So bad.

This show had me thinking... this would be a great time to bring back Battlebots/Robot Wars. They could make it fit in today's reality tv landscape by showing some of the behind-the-scenes building/design/repair stuff. I think it would be a lot more interesting than this.

Is Chris Jericho the announcer on this show?

I liked how the preferred bot design evolved over the seasons as folk saw what worked and didn't.

Jericho-wise, he wasn't very good ... And did we really need additional FX during the fights? Just stick w the spraying fluids ...

I watched it for about 3 minutes. Horrendous.

I watched the whole thing because my brother had the remote. Horrendous.

Just wait till they do the episode where Lucas's daughter fights and he goes to watch. That'll get this place buzzing.
