Plan 9 from Egypt

I think we all got tricked into watching this show. I can't imagine how the History Channel could think this was going to fool anyone. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be dramatic re-enactments of events that took place throughout his career or just a straight scripted show but it is just awful. The acting is so bad you owe it to yourself to watch part of an episode just to see it.

I find myself calling into question everything I have ever heard the once esteemed Dr. Zahi Hawass speak about. I think the History Channels credibility is going to be permanently damaged by this show if it is on the air for more than few episodes unless it develops some kind of cult following like the films of Ed Wood.
