MythBusters (2003–2018)

Something Happened
16 August 2013
The first three seasons were excellent. Two brilliants guys putting legendary myths to the test and blowing things up if they fail. Simple, efficient, entertaining and informative with few irrelevant myths and some sloppy executions here and there, but overall a very good show!

Then something happened...

The producers had the idea to introduce a new team (as if Adam & Jamie weren't cool enough) and they told them to act like if they were 4 years old retarded children on spring break. Yeah that's right, making car and gun noises WITH THEIR MOUTH all the time!! Stop that, you are not actors! Really annoying and almost insulting, get rid of that unnecessary embarrassment, the quality suffers.

The myths are less and less relevant and the show starts to look like a sorry excuse to blow things up. Not to mention that there's a big difference between a popular expression like "poop hit the fan" and "like taking a candy from a baby" and a proper myth. How low they will go to keep their jobs on TV is the question. "Making a cannon with bamboo", "curve bullet", "Airplane on a Conveyor Belt", "finding Jimmy Hoffa in a stadium"?! I mean come on, you call that science? I call that "Discovery ChSCIENCE" to be polite. An entertainment machine with a pinch of science is more like it in my opinion. And while i'm at it: what a huge waste of material and resources only to prove that they are not out of ideas...

Adam is still funny and Jamie is still cool though, but i'm afraid that there's no cure, they are victims of their own success.
