I didn't. Neither did my wife (former JSC shuttle flight controller). It was horrible. It was awful. It was unrealistic. It was totally contrary to fact or any reasonable extension of fact. It was hokey. It was clear that the producers did almost no research on the subject. Our "hoke-o-meter" broke. We turned it off after about 40 minutes and decided that our time could be better spent thinking about what to make for dinner. I almost turned "Different World" on instead. It was THAT bad!
