Maximum Exposure

This show for me was great! It was a cringe worthy, sometimes you feel their pain, but most of all funny. I really miss this show and I can't find where to purchase it.

I watched a few episodes and thought it would be very interesting except I just could not watch it with the awful announcer they cast. His voice was like listening to a chicken being plucked, tortured, and then burned alive, and that's just his voice not what he was saying. The stuff he was saying was even worse, he would make the most offensive horrible comments about horrifying videos. Now he's on the Los Angeles Country radio station with the same awful voice, I just wish he would go away and wish that no one would ever hire him again for any voice overs or acting. Hey guy if you are reading this GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU.

Rarely in the course of human events can people view the tragedies that plague our fellow man and laugh our asses off at the same time. "Maximum Exposure" provides just that.

We have all seen those reality TV shows where the narrators describes the video (like we couldn't figure it out ourselves) and, in the cases of so-called comedy reality shows, the narrator makes really bad commentary in a futile attempt at a joke, such as "America's Funniest Home Videos." Max-X is not like those shows.

There is a narrator, in a sense. I view the narrator as a surfer dude who got a hold of some kick-ass videos and is now showing them to his best buds. Every week there is a theme, such as PainFest, Recipe for Disaster, and Wild in the Streets.

One specific example of a clip is this: A Greenpeace zodiac boat is trying to board a Russian ship that has been illegally clearing trees for lumber. One of the activists, a woman, manages to get on board. However, the Russian sailors throw her overboard. The surfer dude narrator states,

"Dude, you know there's something wrong when Russian sailors throw a perfectly good woman away!"

Max-X is the only reality show worth watching, period.

I disagree with the prior review about Cam ruining the show and being an idiot. True, he does say idiotic things which are not doubt planned to go along with idiotic events that people get filmed doing, and his commentary makes Max X one of the funniest shows around. While it may seem cruel for the announcer to poke fun at some of the mishaps suffered by the subjects of the films, most of the footage is of people doing things that is bound to get them into some difficult, if not harmful situations. Examples- the skateboarders who leap with their boards onto stairway railings and then crash and burn, the guy who leaped from a tree while tied to a rope (bungee jumping?), the guy who tried to jump an apartment building on his bicycle ala Evel Knievel. There are hundreds more images, but almost all of them are of people doing something foolish, and you quickly lose empathy for the subjects. Also, Cam does take a serious tone when dictated, for example, a South American hostage situation, and he does not disrespect true victims.

"Maximum Exposure," also known as "Max X" or "Maxed Out" in some regions, was a television series that aired from 2000 to 2002. Produced by Nash Entertainment, the show was a compilation of real-life footage showcasing extreme and often dangerous situations captured on camera from around the world. With its tagline "It's real, it's raw, it's downright dangerous," "Maximum Exposure" aimed to provide viewers with a thrilling and sometimes shocking viewing experience.

The format of "Maximum Exposure" typically consisted of segments featuring a variety of jaw-dropping stunts, bizarre accidents, daring rescues, and bizarre occurrences caught on tape. From adrenaline-pumping sports mishaps to miraculous survival stories, each episode offered a fast-paced montage of high-octane footage accompanied by lively narration and energetic music.

One of the key appeals of "Maximum Exposure" was its ability to deliver non-stop action and excitement. The show catered to audiences seeking thrills and spectacle, with each segment offering a glimpse into the extreme and unpredictable nature of life. Viewers were drawn in by the sheer unpredictability of the footage, never knowing what incredible or harrowing moment they might witness next.

In addition to its entertainment value, "Maximum Exposure" also served as a testament to the power of the camera in capturing real-life drama and human resilience. The show often featured heroic acts of bravery and selflessness, as well as moments of sheer luck and survival against all odds. These segments provided a sense of awe and admiration for the resilience of the human spirit.

However, "Maximum Exposure" was not without its critics. Some argued that the show glorified dangerous behavior and trivialized serious accidents and tragedies for the sake of entertainment. Critics also raised concerns about the ethics of broadcasting footage of people in distress without their consent.

Despite the controversies, "Maximum Exposure" garnered a dedicated fanbase during its two-year run. Its fast-paced format, adrenaline-fueled footage, and larger-than-life narration made it a must-watch for viewers craving excitement and adventure.

In conclusion, "Maximum Exposure" was a thrilling and often controversial television series that offered viewers a front-row seat to some of the most extreme and heart-stopping moments captured on camera.
