Tactical Disadvantage

I see new episodes of Scare Tactics are on the SciFi Channel. I'd figured the show was sued out of existence years ago.

The basic concept is a turbo-charged Candid Camera, where they put regular people into fake situations--situations where they have every reason to believe they're about to die, or at least suffer serious harm. Then they're told it's all a joke, and the friend who set them up comes out and they all have a good laugh. (Here's an average example: a young woman panicked by vampire bikers.)

I can't believe anyone would sign a waiver after that, much less stay friends with the jerk who set them up. (Yet I watch it. What does that make me?)

One note: the new host is Tracy Morgan, who seems wrong for the tone of the show.
