Mega Disasters

Smart Boris: I really, really like this show. Not because it elevates its material beyond the obvious or sensational or plain sucky (it doesn't), and not because it makes any sense whatsoever (it doesn't), but because its premises are so fantastically conditional and unwarranted that by the tenth or fifteenth minute, reality looks like a depressed tire and ginormous biblical floods circa 6000 B.C. like tricked-out spinning rims on a monster truck. What if people were actually air? What does time taste like? What if gravity . . . stopped. Tune in to The History Channel on Tuesdays at nine to find out.
