Modern Marvels

I gotta say I love this show. It really indulges your inner curiosities about a WIDE range of subject matter. What on the surface would sound like some documentary on a lackluster topic you'd watch in grade school, Modern Marvels makes fascinating.

Whether it's guns, engines, shipping, mining, plastics, or something as seemingly mundane as plumbing, Modern Marvels presents an entertaining and well-organized program taking you from the subject's origins to where it's likely headed in the future. This insightful program is highly recommended for those who have even the slightest curiosity, and who desire an understanding of the things that create our society.

I love the show and watch it more than any other show. I love to see how things are made and to see what stunning accomplishments man has made. I'm often surprised by the unique looks into corners of our development not seen elsewhere. My grandkids like watching too and get the same enrichment as I do. I hope it stays on forever with one exception.

Sadly, that obnoxious fat guy with the bad jokes turns me off and destroys my joy in watching the show. He adds no value nor knowledge other than stupid wisecracks. His voice scrapes against the smooth presentations and sometimes makes me switch the channel.

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!

I liked Adam Richman in Man v Food but on Modern Marvels he tends to praise whatever he's talking about too much. Hey Heather! Way too much. Add in the difficulty understanding him with the stupid mask on I'm close to not watching anymore.

Used to be my favorite show.

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.
