Modern Marvels

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 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.

Being a history lover and liking the past and remembering dates over the years I from time to time have watched "Modern Marvels" a series on the "History Channel". The series focus is on the past of inventions that involve food, technology, toys, buildings, and anything that you can think of being from the past that was made and was famous or became part of pop culture. The clips shown are also well done being educational and informative. Really a good watch if you like past history.

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.

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.
