That doesn't surprise me at all.

My guess is this is just a "test" run to see how the general viewer reacts to the show and then they will tweak it from there.

Alright... Weather Proof isn't bad. They need to letterbox the program for SD viewers though because this is highly not 4:3 safe at all. Newton Wimer is the fabricator for this show while Steph hosts. It's essentially MythBusters for weather. lol

It was meant to be letterboxed but forgot to flip that switch, just like the first storm session last year.

I saw the 12 AM airing and overall the show is pretty interesting and jaw-dropping. But they do need to fix the screen. I have been seeing "TEGORY 1 WINDS", "ILE HOMES", and "PHANIE ABRAMS".

in other comments, the final part when the boat is launched to a laminated window, is impressive! I do look forward to seeing another episode soon.

BTW if you missed it: My guide says till Wednesday at 8 PM and 2 AM ET.

Watching Stephanie Abrams watching wind blow :censored: up?  You had me at Steph.  I could watch her watching grass grow, she's that awesome.  Yet why can't I watch Wake Up With Al?

It's a great show, great premise, but needs a lot of help with execution.

 - Way too freaking dramatic.  I realize this is about life and death situations, but it's just tests.  Needs a different announcer (maybe Adam Berg...if ol' Dave Schwartz was still there he'd be a tremendous fit) to lighten the mood a little.
 - Needs a second host.  Mike Bettes would be the logical choice but kinda seems like overexposure for both.  And that second host needs to cover the other topic...last night had "wind" and "water" and doing both the way they did it was kinda awkward.  Have one host do wind, one do water, and interweave them together during the show.
 - 4:3 safe, dammit.

Did like how they kinda followed the Mythbusters way...leave the biggest impact/bang for last as the OMGWOW!!!!

First TWC long-form I've watched from start to finish.  Will watch again.

The show did look promising and I will try to watch it whenever it comes on again. I didn't get to watch it since I forgot and I had to bed early to get ready for school today anyway.

This may be the first long-form show in quite a while that is actually not a bust based on everyone's reactions so far.

I consider Newton as a secondary host but not a second host. I like the selection they used and that they chose him to be the fabricator. As long as they keep both Steph and Newton, I'll be happy.

I totally agree with you on this!!! I loved the show and all but your're  right it does need a different narrator for sure!!! And I do agree that Mike would be a good second host.  But then again he does have V2 for like 2 months or so. lol
