The Discovery Channel is going to be airing a program about a handful of survivors trying to rebuild society after almost all humans are destroyed by a plague. It's called The Colony.

Is it me or were all but one of those examples defined by the first...?

I remember watching some show on the Discovery Channel about evolution after/without humanity, and apparently there will be giant one-legged snails hopping across the desert and squids that swing around on tree branches. Fuck the Discovery Channel, man.
That's my qualm with the show's premise as well. Pick ten random goofballs off the streets of LA and half of them won't be able to find California on a map, much less survive a week without Taco Bell.McRae said:So they're not gonna pick up ten random assholes? Yeah... I guess it wouldn't be fun to watch them die... the first day, when they realize that they won't be able to check their e-mails anymore...

The team has a doctor, a nurse, three engineers, and a handyman. I'm sure the rest have specialties too, but I didn't stick around to find out, because it's already stupid. Next, they have everything stacked in their favor. They gave them a "home base" that is a huge empty warehouse full of useful materials. It's completely un-scavenged. Need some charcoal to filter the water? There are bags and bags of charcoal stacked out in the yard of the warehouse. What luck!
