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 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.

My family and I always loved this show. It was far better than any other show of its ilk, primarily because the smartaleck announcer dude actually had amusing comments for the videos.

Most shows of this type are beyond lame, and the worst aspect of that lameness is the incredibly crappy, unfunny, and boring voice-over commentary.

Max X, on the other hand, was always top notch. Even when the show aired the same videos as other similar programs, the commentary (and inflection of the announcer dude) was *funny*, really funny.

I miss the show and I wish I could buy both seasons.

"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. While it may have courted controversy at times, the show's ability to deliver non-stop action and excitement ensured its lasting impact on audiences seeking a dose of adrenaline-fueled entertainment.

I love this show, because unlike other shows that are like it, this stands out as being more on the very entertaining side. The best thing about is Cam, the "Smart-Aleck Announcer Dude". The show shows people doing stupid things, accidents happening, bad weather, and ULTIMATE PAIN. Each episode has a title name such as "That's Gotta Hurt", "The World's Most Dumbest Guys", "Born to Lose", etc. That's another thing good about it is that each episode is about one topic, crashes, pain, stupidity. Other shows like Real TV just show random videos about different topics. Another good thing is the music. Unlike other shows that play suspenseful dramatic music, Max X stands out with a huge variety, such as dance music, crazy ass music, and wild killer guitar music. That's what I love most about Max X is that some of the clips have wild, awesome guitar rock music playing in the background. The thing also about Cam, the narrator, is that when it comes to stupidity, he makes fun of them, instead of being serious, and he sometimes makes fun of other races from different countries. Like in one, "He says when it comes to stunts, Belguins are losers." But no need to get offended. But when it comes to death, or someone getting killed, which isn't shown often in this show, Cam takes it more serious, but still has that surfer voice of his. And also when whatever's happening in the video, they sometimes replace it with cartoon like sound effects. So the best thing that you can do when you see that Max X is on, grab a bag of chips, sit back, and relax. Cause Max X has got you now!!
