Good attempt at discussing science, but badly flawed

I love science shows and watch them whenever my wife isn't around (she'll allow me Mythbusters, so I'm good). I also love Morgan Freeman, and wanted to love this show, but no dice.

I found myself yelling back at the TV during the episode I watched and when this happens with a science show there's got to be something wrong.

What I saw was an uncritical eye allowing often questionable cutting edge hypotheses to pass without applying appropriate skepticism. I had to change the channel as I was getting so annoyed, the first time this has ever happened to me with a science show.

I'd go into detail, but I've apparently scrubbed my mind of the all too painful memory.

I'll stick with Neil deGrasse Tyson, thanks. I just want to give that guy a hug every time he's on TV.
