I like it, but it does get a little bit too science-y and has a little bit too much build-up for me to regularly watch it. Still a pretty awesome show, though.
I like Adam and Jamie, the other guys are just filler material actually. I really like some of the myths they've been doing, but I hate how they make you wait until the last 5 minutes to see what you want to see. I wish they would do them one after the other, rather than play the myths concurrently.
I enjoy it, I'll watch it, and sometimes I'll even search for it, but it does feel a little stupid sometimes. Even so, it's far better than 'Bang Goes the Theory', the idiotic English version. That's 3/4 acting to Mythbuster's 1/2. But I prefer the English version of Mythbusters; I've seen both, but the English narrator is more toned down than his American counterpart.
I love it, but there is a lot of filler stuff in there, wasting time testing completely obvious sides to a myth and whatnot. A lot of the useless stuff they do still makes good T.V. though, so I don't mind it.
@artofwar420: I read somewhere that they want to do it though. Their tone was sort of "if it ever looks like Discovery is going to cancel us - we have a few controversial things we'd like to bust".
They only ever test things empirically. They should apply scientific fact to their tests, rather than always start from square one. Something like this. I guess. That and they should never, ever test idioms.
" I like it a lot, but I always wait for the day they'll take on the biggest myth of all. It may never happen. "
you mean weather or not the matrix is real? "
Hes trying to be clever and refer to religion. Key word- trying. I don't see why they need to waste their time stating the obvious. DUH A DUDE CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD COME ON LOL
It's pretty awesome thoughtkiller show. The explosions and slow mo is why I watch it, you can just say wow to the neat explosion and not pay a second thought to the show. These critics here haven't understood that television should be taken as something you watch with no real thought in mind, that way you can watch a shitty show too.
I think its an awesome show, I like the personality of the people (though very little of the actual "jokes" seem to come across, although every now and then its funny but usually more due to something unexpected happening) and the fact it inevitably leads to an explosion or something "big" but along the way it slealthly teaches you little bits of science. The last is actually the most amazing to me since they are visably doing scientific experiments and talking about science type things but most people ignore that and watch for explosions and stuff so it hides the science parts of the show in front of you.
@MysteriousBob: The other big one is evolution. They could teach a big chunk of their audience a lot about how evolution really works with their 44 minutes of airtime and a few fruit flies.
The show is an excellent example of what the modern era can do for science. There are things put up for evaluation on the show that would never be realistically tested, were it not for television. It's not everyday that you are going to find some rich guy that wants to spend all of his money figuring out if he can cut a car perfectly in half, or get sucked out of an ocean by a helicopter's water-gatherer. I'm glad there is a show like this. If only other failed shows had a little bit of charisma, there would be a lot cooler things showing up on TV. Lol, and I'm 19, I'm not saying television is some new-fangled wonder-device.
Simply put, it's among my favorite TV shows of all time. I'm liking Jessi in the current episodes but I miss Kari already. Ah well, she'll be back when her maternity leave is over.
Used to watch it all the time, But lately I have lost interest, They seem to be doing stuff now thats well, Just filler. They have one interesting myth (if that) and then 2-3 that just didnt need to be done.
The series started out with them busting myths and their humour coming across naturally. Nowadays, the humour seems really forced. The myths are still fun to watch, though.
I love it. I dislike the heavily scripted parts at the beginning/end, since they're REALLY bad at reading (or "acting", so that's the one I chose), but otherwise its great. One of the few good shows still running that has a level of intelligence while still keeping it interesting.
