Moderne Wunder

I love the series, there is a ton of information available given in a fairly clear and concise manner. But season 21 and the addition of Adam Richman killed it for me. It became more if a sitcom one they tried to integrate having a host actually asking questions which could have been filled with more information as statements removing a ton of extraneous fluff.

So for now I give it 9 stars for everything up till season 20 and season 21 isn't worth a single star.

There are sometimes flaws in the statements made but they are generally pretty close to the truth and the information given can help open the minds of the people watching so that they are spurred into gaining even more information. I know I have learned more from this show than multiple years of public schooling.

For as long as it's been around, I've loved Modern Marvels. But in 2021, it has gone downhill, and a steep one at that. This program does not need a host. It slows down the continuity of the show, partly because he is too busy making an effort to be a celebrity, instead of being informative. With this guy as a host, the show is mindful of shows on the Food Channel, and we don't need another one of those! Bring back the old format. PLEASE!

When I think History Channel I think Modern Marvels. In a strange way it is very addictive. You learn so much you just want more and more. You could watch a marathon of this and not notice that hours have passed by. It covers everything from entertainment to architectural achievements to politics. It is so explanatory and at the same times it gives you a time line of whatever the show is displaying. What makes this show so great is that it could cover any topic including ones I'm not interested in and make me interested. This show at times has compelled me to research further to extensively learn about something for myself. A great show that does not base its episodes on speculation but on facts and examines and investigates them as well. I couldn't ever imagine this being taken off the air.

Little good it will do posting here, but History Channel has obscured any feedback paths to their programming department.

I really would like to watch this show. I managed to get through to the first commercial. But it's the sound. Rather, the NOISE. Their sound editor seems compelled to pull out all the sound effects he can find and throw it into the program at an unreasonably high volume. I have to crank up the volume to hear the narrator, which causes others in the room not interested in the show to scream to turn it down. It's very annoying to me too, especially that sound of someone dragging sheet metal off a truck. Really.

For 2021 the format changed to have live host Adam Richman. The focus is now less onactual information and all about Adam. It's now total crap. Bring back the old format.
