I think it will be a week or do before it's up on their site.

I did not like the show too much, they outsourced a tank they could have done, the characters are angry and have little personality, and those poor fish will die from the stress very prematurely, if you watch closely, you can see the fish scramble away when the ball hit the tank, that made me mad.

I was slightly disappointed...I was hoping to see A LOT more of what went into setting up the tank, like the life support, instead we got Tanked without the annoying new yorkers (no offense to any new yorkers). I hope they learn from Tanked's mistakes and show us a bit more about what goes on to make a tank thrive, though I liked the Biologist, he stuck to his guns and made sure the ugly fake corals were at least indigenous to the area. I liked the anger for the simple fact that they're real...it's not a fantasy land they're living in where everything is peaches and cream, it's a business and it gets stressful just like most other business. I didn't get the outsourcing, it probably could have been made and shipped cheaper in a near by area.

It was okay. It's missing the NY attitude and personality from the other show. Especially since I'm a New Yorker, cough cough :) I think the show will grow on me like the other one did. I just keep in mind that it's mostly for entertainment. If I needed real advice I'd do my own research. I just think it's great that there are two of them running at the same time and wish them both the best of luck.

Kinda bumbed about that one... I was hoping for more about the build/workings of the tank. I felt
Like to much of it was staged. They did say that this was only about that one tank and the rest will be about other stuff. Hopefully it will be more about truly the build and setting it up and the chemistry or something like that. I think you all know what I mean I just can't say it. I will continue watching them.

I liked it. I think it's interesting that taked took a bus from the same build. But it is what it is.

The first show really isn't indicative of the reminder of the season. Nat Geo decided to use the most public build to kick off the series for the general audience.
