Yes, it's true that a lot of these "hacks" are ridiculously dumb. It's pretty much an exact copy of Household Hacker (R. I. P Dylan), but as an actual TV show. However, there's a few things I've never would of thought of and are actually helpful. If you're looking for a bunch of stuff to actually make your life easier then you wouldn't like this show, but if you're bored or want to learn of outside the box solutions to everyday problems, then you may actually enjoy the show. It's cheesey and mostly common sense, but as I stated before, the show passes the time and you'll actually learn some neat tricks even if they're cheap, lame, or sometimes just off the wall ideas. I think a rating of 6 is justified. It would've been higher if it wasn't a Household Hacker clone.
