There’s hope for those of us who’ve been missing Richard, Ginger and Team Trademark! According to a real estate web site in Charleston, The Real Estate Pros is coming back next month:
Richard C. Davis, who heads Team Trademark, intends to document the lodge’s rehabilitation as part of the real estate company’s reality series, due to air on TLC in April. The show had an 18 month hiatus.

Thanks to a comment from a dedicated att.ention.net reader, we learn that Kari Byron really is pregnant.
Unless Adam Savage’s Twitter account has been hacked or he’s more than a month early on an April Fool’s joke, he reports the breaking news:
This just in Mythbuster fans: Kari Byron is pregnant! Congrats Kari, I can’t wait to meet the new mythbuster!

For some reason, I just had a huge spike in Deanne Bell visitors. Why? Other than passing by the TV monitors at work and seeing a clip of Smash Lab, I haven’t seen much about her (or the program). Is something going on that I (and the general Deanne Bell fan community) should know about? Post a comment and let us know!

I think I might have the answer to why Smash Lab doesn’t seem as “engaging” as MythBusters (though, judging from the comments on the rest of this site, that’s far from certain).
Smash Lab conversations seem more “scripted”.
But, looking at Mythbusters, it’s certainly “scriped” as well. Maybe it’s that the Smash Lab gang just looks like they’re trying too hard to be spontaneous?
That means we need to find interviews with the Smash Lab “cast”, outside of the show. Especially Deanne. Hmmm…

Inspired by Trisha’s comment, I pulled up some photos of Minnie Driver… but I’m just not seeing the Ginger Alexander connection. Maybe I needed to watch the Ellen show.
Speaking of Ginger… is it me, or has some of the Richard Davis magic worn off? Maybe my schedule just changed and I’m not watching as much TV or something… but there doesn’t seem to be as much “Real Estate Pros” buzz out there anymore?

As the comments roll in, they reflect the same thing I’ve felt as I’ve watched Smash Lab: for whatever reason, Deanne Bell is not the next Kari Byron, and Smash Lab is not the next Mythbusters.
But… why?
On paper, Smash Lab looks like a slam-dunk. But in reality, compared to Mythbusters, it seems… well, “dumb”. Sure, Adam and Jamie (and Grant and Kari and Tory) do silly things, but there seems to be an air of, “Yeah, it’s silly, but it’ll be cool!” In Smash Lab, silly stuff seems to be done in the name of scientific investigation.
Example: Last night I caught the “magnetic fire escape” episode, where their two choices were “freefall to a dead stop at the bottom” or “creep your way down slowly”. (The concept of “use increasingly strong magnets to decelerate a freefall” never appeared.) So, to “test” this, they used a 30-degree ramp… and freefall-dude ended up crashing off the bottom. On Mythbusters, I could see Adam doing the same thing… but it would be in the context of, “Hey, this looks like fun! I want to try it!” Not “I’m riding a glorified skateboard to gather valid data”.
Anyway, back to the Deanne vs. Kari question. With all due respect, Deanne (who, I’m sure, is very bright) comes across as a ditz. Kari doesn’t. Why?
They’re both cute. Is it just because Deanne is “girl next door who’ll grow up to be June Cleaver” cute and Kari is “girl next door who’s riding a tractor” cute? Is it really just the difference in their voices? Are we guys blinded by Kari’s red hair and can’t see Deanne’s hidden Kari qualities? The mystery continues…

A few days ago I caught a promo for what I thought was a brand new show on the Discovery Channel: “Smash Lab”, which sounds like MythBusters without the pesky myths and non-explosive experiements that get in the way of the action.
And in the frenetic video that flashed by on the screen, I spotted a woman.
She’s Deanne Bell and, as an attractive not-quite-30-year-old, she’s hitting the exact same demographic that Kari did when she appeared on the scene.
The Smash Lab site says “new episodes” are coming, which implies that there were old episodes. It seems Deanne was (is?) on PBS in “Design Squad”… but I haven’t heard of that one, either.
Has anyone else heard of this person? Credentials seem impressive enough, as TV show hosts go. I’m looking forward to catching my first Smash Lab episode in a couple weeks…

They used to be there! Really! In fact, another site has a screen-shot of Ginger Alexander’s old MySpace page, but it’s gone now, and so is the one for Richard C. Davis. What’s up with that? Are there any more Trademark Properties MySpace pages out there, or did the whole group disappear from the MySpace world?
If you have an answer (or an idea), comment here and share it.
