mktylernola Season 1 of this show was fantastic. The premise is simple enough - Richard had to learn how to use massive, sometimes dangerous, equipment, giving himself only 3 days for each lesson. Beginning with an Abrams tank, through logging, demolition, salvage, and my personal favorite, a massive Striker fire truck at the Dallas airport, Richard mastered almost everything. Even when he didn't quite get the hang of everything, his unbridled enthusiasm made if fun and exciting to watch. I would highly recommend, if you haven't seen it yet, to watch it whenever you can. Hopefully it'll be released on DVD soon. And from what I've seen and read, Season 2 looks like it'll be even more exciting. Learning to be a stuntman, he was set on fire, jumped off a bridge, got thrown through a window, and flipped a car. Wow. I can't wait.
