Mythbusters Jr.

As far as I'm concerned the original Mythbusters should have been on the Discovery Science Channel all along -their deeper pockets would have enabled a much longer run -even if it meant replacing Jamie H. That said this new series has the potential to be just as entertaining as the old; and I hope it gets a second season to jell the cast. As far as some critics complaining about the "Myths" it was a freshman season-those are always rough. the first season of the original series was just a few episodes. In short it was fun to see Adam so comfortable with all the cast and yet be just as squirrel y and fun to watch as before. AND YES I'LL WATCH ANYTHING WITH ADAM IN IT BECAUSE I'M JUST LIKE HIM a cartoon loving tinkerer that wants to know the how and why science of the world.

Saw a kid explaining how a drill is connected to a pulley using a belt? Then see him hammering a rim where he attached duct tape?? Finally into a backstory of him building building a project "when he was little". Currently 15 and 12 when he built it???

That was it. Could not take anymore. Don't get me wrong; I'm sure this will be great for the 'tween' crowd. If your are over 18 then don't bother.

This was the direction the show should have continued from and not replacing the original guys. Using the next generation to continue these discoveries makes a lot more sense. And they found a great mix of kids.

Being a huge fan of the original series I have to say I was really happy when I saw a preview for this show. Adam returning and a new Mythbusters show? Heck yes! Sure it may be aimed more at children. Sure I would like to see a little more Adam now and again. But I enjoyed watching all the episodes so far. A lot of the myths are unique and interesting and I like their approach at tackling them. If you're a fan of the original series, I say don't expect it to be a clone of it. Don't come in with huge expectations. If you can do that then I feel you will get a lot of out of it.

I had no hopes for this junior version, disapointed as I was with 'the search for'. Boy, was I in for a surprise. Im 4 episodes in now, and Adam seems totally in place with the kids, releasing his inner child as well, the chemistry between him and thecrest is great. The 'myths' are more like experiments but still fit the concept and are ececuted really nice. Its fun and interesting for kids BUT also for adults like me. In fact, I like these small scale experiments better over the last original mythbusters seasons when things got way to big and most ended in exploding stuff. This junior version leans more on science and I love it for it :)
