MythBusters: The Search

I agree with another posted review, these people are trying too hard, the fake enthusiasm, trying to mimic the old cast is just hard to stomach. Rewatching the same old myths is boring and judging them like Survivor with your vote, voting them off for some silly judgmental reason just doesn't cut it.

Find someone who is reluctant to be in front of the camera, experience in the special effects business and a sidekick wing man with some TV experience, like the old cast and just go with it, instead of this faux talent show.

What was it that SpencerTracy said to a young actor when he asked him what he did, the guy replied I'm an actor ", Tracy said "Well, don't let anyone catch you at it".

That's the problem here. You catch them constantly acting.

I can summarize this series with one word: NO!

Its simple: This will not even come close to the original series. Let Mythbusters rest in peace without trying to milk a lot of money out of the brand and destroy it in the process. Start a NEW series instead, with a new name and logo.

Kyle Hill doesn't even know elementary physics. There are so many misconceptions of physics equations and concepts on his nerdist youtube channel. Also, this guy's acting is freaking cringey as hell. This show is going to get canceled. It sucks so bad. The original myth busters had REAL scientists and engineers. This show is just a bunch of communication majors wanna be scientists. Horrible show.

Don't try to replace Adam and Jamie. They are true originals. Try something new with a new name. This is worse than awful. It is sweet that they are educated and definite fans of the Originals but it doesn't need to be done. What was original about the show will be gone. New ideas to try is still not something original.

I love the idea of a Reality search for something; just not a new Mythbusters. Why not just a new show. Same folks who loved Mythbusters but name it something new with new intentions, new ideas, more original. This group really deserves to do something original; yet more of a spin-off from the Mythbusters. New Name. New People. New Show. New concept.

I'm a fan of the original, however this is a Reality Elimination Show and isn't my thing. Would've worked better without the host and just the Narrator keeping the viewer up to speed.

Contestants compete with each other as they build cool contraptions and blow stuff up similar to MythBusters. Just don't expect any real MythBusting from this series, it's not what it's about.

I hope that the writers/researchers are able to provide the winners with enough content and that the team will have their own unique persona's and not be imitations of the original MythBusters.

If you like Reality Elimination Shows, or want to "get to know" the new MythBusters team before they start, watch it, I doubt it's worse than any other show of it's genre.
