G4's 'Attack of the Show' Spinoff Explores Weird 'Science'
G4 is adding some weird science to its summer schedule. The cable network that caters to geeks of all sizes is launching a spinoff of its top-rated 'Attack of the Show' called 'It's Effin' Science.'The show will feature two hosts and an engineer conducting so-called "science" experiments, like building Marty McFly's hoverboard from 'Back to the Future Part II' (that's heavy!) or constructing night-vision goggles, MacGyver-style, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Comedians Angie Greenup and Mark Horowitz will host the show with engineer Chad Zdenek helping them do very sciencey stuff, like blasting Port-a-Pottys into the sky. Who says there's nothing educational on TV anymore?
The series, which grew out of a popular segment on 'Attack,' was picked up for a 10-episode summer run, and will begin on June 15 after G4's yearly live E3 coverage. We could see more of the show after the summer if its mix of 'Mythbusters'-style experimentation and geek culture referencing take off. But don't expect a guest turn from, say, Stephen Hawking or Brian Greene. As G4 clearly states, "This isn't science. It's Effin' Science!"
