traveltothesun All I can say is, I won't be watching it. I think when the advertisers see the ratings it will die a quick death. It and the new wheeler dealers are on the same path. Trying to take something that had a good format and put in new people just doesn't work. Some one tries a new spin and it stops. Some times death before dishonor works.

DanielStala Yes, you read that right... I am a huge fan of the original and I was foaming at the mouth to hear a new era of Mythbusters was going to dawn upon this terrible world.... and instead we got a mutant; of what we once loved and what the lowest rung in society loves.I watched Mythbusters because it was unlike so many of the mind-numbing shows out there, oh like the elimination shows with their idiotic "safe rose" (now wrench) or what ever, and malignant ceremony of kicking off the easy target. You know who should have been first to be kicked off; Kyle Hill, the walking human versions of a cringe moment of a host.Okay, it's the first show, dump Kyle Hill, so I am willing to stick it through , dump Kyle Hill, a little longer and also why I gave it, dump Kyle Hill, five stars.... who am I kidding as long as they dump Kyle Hill after the awkward and annoying selection process I'll watch."Stupid Flanders"

Neverhere Yet another elimination show populated with good looking young people and hipsters. I watched the show thinking Adam and Jamie may make an appearance and offer advice or humorous commentary but instead I watched these entirely unlikable people complete in a challenge that was more about them then the science. I foresee a lot of drama and competition treachery in the next several weeks. Trying to get a room full of engineers to agree on anything Is difficult. Try adding the element of a promise to be in a TV show and you might as well herd cats. I have a myth for you Discovery, place ten or so people that no one will like in a show and see if it survives. Myth busted. If that one doesn't work try this one, replace two established audience favorites with a gaggle of people who are smarter than you and wouldn't hesitate to tell you and make it work. Myth busted.

Spec(R) Only watch for the morbid fascination seeing a corpse decompose. This week's elimination was unknown only because the losing team had the following different people: someone who was struggling with using an angle grinder; someone who didn't know how to open the hood of a car; someone who seemed to be making last minutes changes to the control of a system (that eventually fired prematurely); and a group lead who seemed to be fine with over-pressuring a pneumatic system (that eventually fired prematurely). What drama.And the losing team wasn't even the one that looked most incompetent during the build!Eventually they went with a choice they were signaling throughout the show. Why they chose this person to be on the show at all is baffling. Presumably just for the humiliation potential.The host is entirely without any kind of scientific or engineering authority. The final set of new Mythbusters will have earned the respect of an editor at some tech website. I would pity the children while watching him evaluate the work of a junior high school shop class. Watching him comment on some of the more experienced workers while they nod and cheer actually reduces my respect for them.The people who are selected by this process may or may not be technically/scientifically savvy and have the charisma to host a TV show. I don't know. But they will certainly be able to denigrate themselves.I could go on and it was only an hour long show.Terrible. Just terrible.
