Last night I watched the Discovery Channel’s premiers of “Pure Evil”. This was supposed to be about Evil Knievel “behind the scenes”. I did not think much of the show.
It was interesting to hear some of the “insider” stories regarding Evil. About how he drove his own public relations campaign, about his ego, and about the Snake River Canyon jump. But, I do not think I learned anything new or titillating about his life.
Also, while it has been a long time since I have seen it, I think a lot of the “cut scenes” were from a movie about Evil Knievel that came out years ago. Overall, I feel this effort was well below Discovery’s normal high caliber programing.
