I am excited to see how this show progresses. Good starter episode. As an former Chemical Engineer, turned IT manager - I've had my fun with exothermic and endothermic reactions with mixed results. The union of chemistry and technology is quintessential this episode! I can feel some meh responses coming, but the potential is there, for a killer show... the microwave segment should win a few over!

Looking forward to more of this.
Interesting that it's produced by High Noon and Discover.

My only hope is that we get more "Macguyver" and less "Dumbass thing we filmed on our cellphones".

Eitherway, it's a good mix of edutainment.

I'm not a huge fan of chemistry, but I find this show to be interesting. I think it has a lot of potential. Keep up the good work.

Great show, huge potential. I'm glad how lately Revision3's new shows have been about technology/science. I'm also glad how this show is sort of a DIY series since Systm was cancelled.

Also, is the show produced in the Rev3 studios? The location where Joe was making the elephant toothpaste looked like the back of the Tekzilla set.
