A lot of people hate being corrected, but I have always been a big fan of a good disabusement, both because I prefer to know the truth and because I find learning about the ways in which we've been tricked and conned inherently interesting. It's why I loved Robert Wuhl's Assume the Position specials.
Adam Ruins Everything is all about challenging our misconceptions, like diamonds are valuable and tin foil covers protect our aspirin. It is absolutely fascinating to see how many things we just accept without much thought are pure BS.
But the series is also really, really funny and engaging. While Penn & Teller or Robert Wuhl basically did a teaching-with-jokes format, Adam creates entire elaborate dramas in which in encounters people enjoying their lives and harasses them with a steady stream of facts while they beg him to stop. The show is incredibly funny, but also very serious about its information, footnoting each fact and bringing on experts in an amusing manner.
Adam also likes to counter the bleakness of a message that often comes down to "everything you're counting on is a sham" with information about things that genuinely work.
This series lasted a whole season before I even knew it existed; I hope people find it as I did, because it's amazing.

I love watching shows on the Discovery and Science channel. Shows like Brain Games and The Universe. Adam Ruins Everything is incredibly entertaining and informative. It questions irrational social norms while breaking the 4th wall and adding very edgy comedy. As of this review (10-3-2015) only one episode has premiered and it was great! It pointed out how many activities and "good deeds" we perform as a society are really just manipulations from advertisers from our past and have no rational basis. After watching the first episode I already have a different outlook on our culture and what I thought was the proper way to live life. It reminded me of the book "The De-Textbook" which is a great book if you enjoy learning the history behind why we do what we do in an entertaining way.
If you like this show I suggest you check out some of his web shorts on College Humor on YouTube.
I really hope this show takes off.

It's a decent show. It's not perfect. I'm middle of the road when it comes to politics, in fact, I HATE politics!
--Please look at how almost ALL the bad reviews are coming from conservative people.--
For pure, entertainment, this show is great. Maybe not everything is 100% Factual, as always, look for yourself, using more than one source.
Have a great day! :-)

Those who complain on here that the facts presented on 'Adam Ruins Everything' are somehow biased in order to serve someone's narrow 'worldview' are themselves falling victim to the fallacy that any statement (even when backed up with credible sources) they see as running 'opposite' or 'counter' to their own opinions or perceptions must therefore be suggestive of a nefarious scheme to push some sort of agenda.
I've come to notice that the several posters who bothered to complain about the show's content seem to have internalized, as if it were a piece of their own personal identity, some of the wrongly-held misinformation that Adam Conover & his writing team are seeking to correct.
One genius basically told me in so many words that my reliance on historically credible facts, be they good or ugly, were 'biased' serving to support my proudly held leftist principles; and that though his points, while ahistorical, or just plain false, but which nonetheless influenced his 'conservative right-wing' worldview, were just as valid. As if facts had their own agendas...
While it's true I've always (somewhat cheekily) suspected reality to have a certain leftist bias, to see rightists argue themselves into logical dead-ends over and over again, while funny in a way, is still alarming.
This just goes to further proves the importance of shows like Adam Ruins Everything.

I think that this show is one of the greatest informational shows that is on the air right now. They deliver a lot of fascinating information in a very humorous way. Watching these episodes has already changed my view of some of our customs and ways. Adam Conover is fantastic in this series. How he can be hilarious, smart and sometimes sad is what makes this show watchable. it really is a shame that this show isn't more popular, but I hope that it gains more of an audience. Or as the new york times said "Adam Conover's new television series isn't the first dedicated to the fine art of debunking, but it's one of the most entertaining."
