Adam Ruins Everything

This show immediately reminds me of Pen & Teller's Bullshit, without the vulgarity, gratuitous nudity, and full on ranting from Penn (it was a brilliant show, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it).

As of the time of this review, they're 10 episodes into the first season, and I hope they continue on for several seasons more. It's actually fantastic to see Adam and most of the actors from College Humour come off of YouTube and actually get to be on TV. The show's premise is debunking long standing myths with references to studies and actual research. Yes, it's biased. No, it's not always right. It is, however, very well done and very entertaining.

It would be nice if it was hour episodes instead of 1/2 hour ones (20 minutes or so without the commercials)...it might give them a chance to go into a bit deeper detail about some of the things they talk about.

Majority of negative reviews are from people who don't like facts that go against what they wanna believe. The truth is if these people truly cared about facts, all they would care about is they're facts. They wouldn't care if they came from a liberal or conservative source. Adam has admitted he has made mistakes but at least he lists sources. I've seen people who will send links to articles that either pre-date the new studies or they're from sources that don't list where they get their facts from. I'll take Adam's newer sources over sources that have no facts or are older than the newer sources.

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 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."

This show is super interesting and totally shows what is wrong with our society and how can we work towards improving it. The show is funny along with being very informative ,I liked this series a lot very few TV series like this one also most of them are on discovery channel . If anyone likes TV series based on informative stuff then this is a must watch for them.This series is based on the college humors mini web series with the same name Adam Ruins Everything which also is good but you know short so not that fun.This show definitely will be successful as not only he is giving information but he is calling an expert on the field of the topic to his show to support the fact he is telling us.A very good show hope it runs for a long time and remains as interesting as it is this season
