Mysteries of the Abandoned

Seriously, does anyone proofread what the narrator says? Does anyone watch/listen to the final product? He says "ominous" at least once per site, someone please teach him about synonyms. He constantly says "forbidding" instead of "foreboding", please teach him the difference. He pronounces macabre maca-bruh. His grammar is atrocious. There are some really interesting places featured but the narrator is so god awful it's hard to watch.

Totally disagree with everyone about Dr. Nusbacher. First saw her on history channel , commenting on WW2 history. Found her to be very knowledgeable and informative. Did what you all did and looked up her history, saw what you saw. Who cares? Really? Let's talk about her energy and zest for teaching. I find her loud, enthusiastic delivery, engaging and fun. Would love to have had more teachers like that during my educational years. Andrew Gough is the one with over the top drama and absurdity. Would rather watch 10 hours of Lynette over 10 minutes of that drama queen!

I've been watching episodes all along of Mysteries of The Abandoned, and find this to be a decently interesting show (if less interesting overall than the similar What On Earth? on the same network.) Too many former war sites and bomb shelters feature throughout but...I guess that's just how the human race has been spending a great deal of its time ruining the planet and leaving messy, uncleaned dump sites on earth. Because apparently we're still up to the moment living tribally with Hatfield and McCoy mentality, even though it's supposedly the modern age.

However, today while watching a newer episode of MOTA, I see that Discovery Channel not only leaves their network logo in the bottom right of the screen for the entire episode, NOW there's an intrusive eyesore banner in the upper right corner of the screen simultaneosly as a promo for the Bering Sea Gold show. This also never goes away while watching the entire episode.

You've GOT to be kidding me, right ?

With the glut of networks and all the FREE entertainment alternatives around as well, don't think for ONE second I'll keep watching this non-essential show if you're going to put an eyesore in the top right corner for future episodes. I have no interest in Bering Sea Gold. I will never watch it. No amount of reminding me of that show is going to get me to watch it. Or whatever other annoying banner ad you want to foist in my eyesight. I resent MORE advertising being shoved in my face, to watch your so-so Abandoned show. So this is a message to Discovery Channel if they read these reviews: LOSE the insidious advertising creeping or consider me DUMPING watching this show's future episodes or re-runs. Keep that crap up on your network on other shows and it's bye bye for them, too.

PLEASE, can the producer advise Andrew Gough to tone down his insufferable dramatic description of each and every detail!!! The man appears to be head over heels in love with the sound of his own voice.

EDIT: Just watched the first episode of the 2019 season. Still has some of the same people commenting, with a couple of new faces. The show feels a little fresher, but the biggest thing is the coordinates for the places they're talking about. I checked out all four in the premiere episode of this season and they are all absolutely spot-on! Don't know if they got enough feedback from viewers, or if somebody at the top finally said something, but the coordinates match the locations, and that is huge for me. So I will continue to watch this show and enjoy it as I have in the past. =============== I agree with most people about the personalities, not experts, that appear on the show. I have to admit that the minute I saw Lynette Nusbacher, I knew what everyone else did although I looked it up to confirm my suspicions. Andrew Gough, oddly enough, also appears quite often on History Channel's Ancient Aliens as an expert. There are a couple of people who are at least articulate enough to seem interesting with their comments so they and the content actually keep me coming back. My biggest pet peeve with this show is the coordinates that they show for each segment. I finally decided to look them during one episode and I was shocked at how incredibly inaccurate they were. One segment was about Tyneham Village in Dorset UK and the coordinates they gave were near Calais, France! The next segment was located near or in Lake Michigan in the US, and laughingly, the coordinates gave me China! I can't understand why they do this.
