I don't watch whole episodes now, only snippets when other shows are in commercial break, but it seems like Craig is bringing more energy and focusing the show on having fun with guests rather than managing a serious competition. As long as the show is cheap enough to make, I think the History Channel will keep it going and let it develop. Also it seems a weakness in the early shows submitted to reviewers that the expert on the panel isn't necessarily qualified. It may be the case in the future that they can recruit better experts when they have a track record. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
