^^^ Is that all Modern Marvels?

Jesus.

Seriously, they need to just drop the "Modern" from the name. I watched the show on concrete once, and as soon as it came on I'm like "WTF, Concrete?"

12/16/2006 2:34:37 AM

Yeah, but if they called it "Marvels" I'd flip past it on the guide and go "OMGWTFMAF" and think it was a TV adaptation of

12/16/2006 2:50:21 AM

Engineering an Empire is pretty good. The originial Rome series was the best but the ones that follow aren't too shabby.

12/16/2006 11:05:04 AM

i saw "i shouldn't be alive" amazon and that was awsome

12/16/2006 11:31:13 AM

Yeah after 453 or so episodes I'm pretty sure there aren't any Marvels left in the world, much less Modern ones..........

12/16/2006 11:59:22 AM

no way, there's plenty of marvels!!

my favorite epoisodes are Engineering Disasters, Hydraulics, and Refrigeration
