	+ **Starty** (voiced by Chris Jai Alex) - Radley's robot
	+ **D.E.B.** (voiced by Debbie Bosanek) - An application that is on Radley's tablet computer. Radley would often consult D.E.B. about any word definitions.

## Cultural impact

*Meteorite Men* has been cited as a possible reason behind the spike in interest regarding meteorites and meteorite hunting in the early 2010s. Dr. Laurence Garvie of the Center for Meteorite Studies at Arizona State University has stated that, following his appearance on the show, he and his colleagues received about a half-dozen boxes of rocks each week from viewers who believed they had found a meteorite. A notable example was a specimen displaying regmaglypts and fusion crust that was discovered in 1950 by a farmer plowing a field. The specimen, a 1,724.8 gram mass, was not fully classified until 2012, when the finder's son, after watching *Meteorite Men*, took to the specimen to Garvie at the university for further analysis. The entire mass was then acquired by Ruben Garcia of Mr. Meteorite and *Meteorite Men* co-host Geoffrey Notkin of Aerolite Meteorites.

In 2012, Steve Curry was charged by Detective Ryan Piotrowski of the Grand Junction Police Department with misdemeanor theft and fraud for selling false meteorites. Piotrowski has seen *Meteorite Men* and became intrigued by the case when it landed on his sergeant's desk.

Monster Garage

***Monster Garage*** is an American television series created by Thom Beers and hosted by Jesse James. It premiered on the Discovery Channel on June 23, 2002 and concluded on June 12, 2006.

On February 24, 2020, it was announced that the series would be revived and premiere to TLC; this was delayed on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the revival aired on Discovery+ on launch day, January 4, 2021.

## Premise

Five people with mechanical, fabricating, or modifying expertise assemble a team to modify a vehicle into a "monster machine". This generally meant making one vehicle that could transform into another, such as a PT Cruiser which could change into a woodchipper, or a school bus which could transform into a pontoon boat. Occasionally vehicles were modified to as to hide non-vehicular functions, such as a police car which doubled as a donut shop (built by a team of cops), or a Toyota Tundra which was modified so as to allow it to discharge a motorcycle at high speeds. Build teams who successfully completed their assignment were rewarded with expensive tool kits.

## Rules

1. The monster, when completed, was to appear to be in stock.
2. The team had $3000 (later $5000) for parts. Any 'seat change' found during the build was added to the total.
3. The team had to complete the monster within seven days:
	* The first day was for designing
	* the next five were for building
	* the seventh and final day was for testing the monster

As the series progressed, some liberties, in practice, were taken with the first two rules, at times becoming punchlines. In one episode, when a Chevrolet El Camino was turned into a Figure 8 race car, James discarded plans for a spoiler on the vehicle, sarcastically citing the first rule.

Starting with Season 4, the winning team also donated a toolkit to a high school of their choice.

Mermaids: The Body Found

***Mermaids: The Body Found*** is a mockumentary television program styled as a documentary. It tells a story of a scientific team's investigative efforts to uncover the source behind mysterious underwater recordings of an unidentified marine body, and presents the controversial aquatic ape theory, along with amateur video footage, as evidence that mermaids exist. It was produced by Darlow Smithson Productions and premiered on Animal Planet on May 27, 2012.

## Summary

In the early 1990s, the United States Navy began a series of covert sonar tests that were linked to mass die-offs of whales washing up on beaches around the world. These beachings were well-publicized, but startling amateur video and photographic evidence - much of it never released until now - suggests that whales were not the only creatures affected by the Navy's sonar. In 1997, scientists monitoring underwater microphones recorded a mysterious sound deep in the Pacific Ocean, a sound from an unidentified creature unlike any other animal recorded. What made the sound, dubbed "The Bloop", has remained one of the greatest mysteries of the ocean, until now.

### *Mermaids: The New Evidence*

A follow-up special, *Mermaids: The New Evidence*, was aired on May 26, 2013. It was presented as a live interview with Dr. Paul Robertson, one of the "scientists" featured in the original program and discussing newly discovered footage and evidence to support the claims of the existence of mermaids.

## Reception

### Ratings

*Mermaids: The Body Found* received 1.9 million viewers and earning a 1.3 household rating during its original premiere, making for Animal Planet's most-watched telecast since the Steve Irwin Memorial special in September 2006. Subsequent airings brought it to a total of 3.4 million viewers. The follow-up special, *The New Evidence*, drew in 3.6 million viewers and garnered a 2.2 household rating, overall making the network's highest-rated telecast since *Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real* in 2005.

### Critical

*Mermaids: The Body Found* and *The New Evidence* fell under heavy criticism for giving the impression of being an actual documentary, when in fact much of the material was made up and the scientists shown were actors. A notable part was with the original broadcast featuring only a few, easily missed disclaimers indicating the speculative nature of the programs. Publicity for the program included a website falsely claiming government seizure of the site's domain, and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration put up a rebuttal of the program.

The two programs are examples what is known as docufiction, in which documentary style and programming elements are combined with fictional - or sometimes, less egregiously, speculative - science and fiction. This style of programming was briefly continued with other Discovery programs, such as with Shark Week's *Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives* and *Megalodon: The New Evidence* in 2013 and 2014, respectively, *Eaten Alive* in 2014, and *The Cannibal in the Jungle* in 2015, before being discontinued under orders from Rich Ross in the latter year.

It was later narrated by Christian Brückner and aired in North America on the Discovery Channel on March 2, 2003.

## Plot

The film tells the story of the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza through the commentary of the fictional builder, Nakht, whose voiceover narration is provided by Omar Sharif.

In 2,470 B.C., during the reign of King Khufu, the king's architects notice a group of stars, including the circumpolar star, which they call the Indestructibles. Believing this to be the gateway to Heaven, they begin construction on a pyramid that will immortalize Khufu and serve as a passageway way for him into the afterlife. The pyramid will have three chambers, one of which where Khufu will be put to rest.

In a village near Aswan, Nakht and his younger brother Deba are conscripted from their village alongside other young men to work at Giza, where Khufu's architects have been planning in making a pyramid larger than the rest and made of limestone. The men are placed to sleep in huts near the plateau where the pyramid is to be built, and Nakht is surprised to see food and drink are provided as opposed to being caught like back in the village; all men hired to work on the pyramid are served food and firewood as a reward for their work. The next morning, they are sent to work in the quarry to collect limestone that is being used to build the pyramid. Nakht and Deba are at first tasked with bringing water for the workers, then bringing copper chisels to be re-sharpened, and finally joining other men in dragging the stone to the pyramid. The men are sent to work nine days at a time, taking the tenth day off to rest.

A year later, Nakht and Deba are tasked with hauling blocks for a passageway leading to what will eventually become Khufu's burial chamber. At the compound, Kaem-ah, the man who recruited the two brothers, drinks a toast to them in celebration as Deba is married to one of the master's daughters and starts a family. Over the next few years, Nakht and Deba become full-time workers as part of the King's Men. Sometime later Deba is killed in the passageway by an unsteady beam, and Nakht brings his brother's widow to live in his home.

Five years later, Nakht is assigned with overlooking the moving of one of the nine granite roof blocks used to protect Khufu's burial chamber, including the capstone, thus completing the pyramid.

In 2,453 B.C., seventeen years after construction on the pyramid began, Khufu passes away, and his coffin is sent down to be laid in the burial chamber. In spite of this, it is stated that construction on the pyramid will not only immortalize the king, but all those who have worked on it.

## Premise

The show features four teams of Texas real estate entrepreneurs competing head-to-head to buy low, work fast and sell high in a property-flipping competition. In a compelling twist, agent must enlist a construction crew to literally pick up the home and move it to a new location. Unlike other renovation shows, the renovators only buy and sell the houses rather than the land. At the initial auction, they can only view the home from the outside and must also factor in costs of moving the house from the original lot to the renovation site, at which the teams renovate the houses and sell them at auction. A typical episode consists of two of the teams each buying a house to renovate, with friendly competition as they try to make more profit than the other team. The houses are usually sold with no land and the sale price normally include the price of transformation to the buyers' property. Some episodes feature the teams moving houses to empty employments where they've purchased lots to sell the houses on before renovation, occasionally putting more than one structure on each lot. In these cases, the land is sold along with the house(s) at the end of the process and the cost of the lot is added to the final tally of costs when calculating the profit.
