I just watched a couple of episodes of Forged in Fire (posting here since it's the only mention of it I could find, and it's not really deserving of it's own thread). I liked watching them make things, but the whole tone of it is ridiculous. It almost could be called Fat Dorks Who Make Knives. The most ridiculous is the "martial-arts expert" judge, who has a weird speech pattern, perhaps trying to be more Asian. When he does a cutting test, he swings the knives (with about 10in blades) around as if they were katanas.
And I was surprised that they didn't have people with more experience. Most had under ten years, except for a lady who was a farrier by trade, who had 20 years. She won of course. I guess real craftsmen are busy working and don't have time for this malarkey.
