Title: "Sliced" on The History Channel

I just stumbled across this show just as this guy chops a perfectly new NBA pinball machine right in half to see how a "tilt" mechanism works.... ::)

i nearly ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- a brick.

It's funny that they cut some of that stuff up since it would be easier to see what's going on the right way. Taking the playfield and backglass out would be easier and people might actually learn something. Oh well, I guess it's entertaining to someone. :dunno

didnt really show how it worked just that the stuff pours out when you cut it open.

cuttin a slot machine in half is not going to tell you how it works really or what makes it tic lol.

pulling the top off the pool table made sense but the rest I seen in the previews looked plain silly and pointless.

might as well just blow them up its faster and you get more parts :timebomb:

Hadn't seen the first episode.... the previews alone was enough to determine it's principal versus what is actually being done is a rediculous concept. Common sense tells you that most things open up or are accesible for viewing to "see how it works".
To bring a chainsaw into the picture is purely for dramatic effect, nothing more.
It's a show that won't last long.
