While watching the two-hour Mythbusters “Supersize Special” yesterday, I saw the Discovery Channel’s “The World is Just Awesome” commercial for the very first time. It’s the most adorable thing I’ve seen on TV in a while, featuring the all the regular Discovery Channel personalities and all the quirkiness, silliness and little-boy wonder that a channel devoted to exploration ought to have. A house blows up, Stephen Hawking says “boom dee ya da,” Adam Savage sets Jaime Hyneman’s arm on fire, and everybody sings. It’s better than it sounds. And it actually makes me like the Discovery Channel just a little more than I already did.
