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.

Anybody familiar with the original MythBusters is likely familiar with its gradual decline. The first 5 or 6 season were the "golden age" and then they started tweaking the formula for ratings / to reach a wider audience (i.e. less and less substance, and more and more "wow factor"). The last few seasons had devolved into a sort of "witches brew" of scripted reality TV, and a race to blow something up / create a spectacle, magnificently void of logic / reasoning."MythBusters: The Search" has once again lowered the bar. The show is now formatted as a competition, yet they attempt to shoehorn the elements of the original into the new format as if nothing has changed (e.g. classifying a myth as confirmed, plausible, or busted, when the new format provides virtually no rigorous, empirical justification for doing so).To present this uncontrolled, "fly by the seat of your pants" science (if you can even call it that) which takes place under the new competition format, as any sort of definitive, reproducible result is downright idiotic.Their mistake was using the "MythBusters" name for the show, as it creates a certain expectation, which goes magnificently unfulfilled.

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.
