    Good start, but then it gets ruined

    It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

    It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

    All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

    This will be a short review.Discovery thought, that they simply can't have a show on air, that is watchable for the "Old Discovery" fans. In the reality discovery era everything has to be a forced play on fake emotions, casting out etc.Mythbusters are a part of me, of who I grew up to be. Reality TV is not. Hackers, builders, nerds, geeks, people passionate about science, projects, building stuff are too intelligent for reality TV. We simply won't buy it.All in all Mythbusters The Search is pretty much like the new Top Gear. Cringeworthy attempt to squeeze some money of a brand, without understanding, that the success of the brand was not its logo, but the chemistry between the hosts and then the actual content.Tory, Grant and Kari did a show called "White Rabbit Project". I'm starting to watch it right as I type these words. It's not Mythbusters, but I reckon it's OK to watch. Don't bother watching if you are a fan of the Mythbusters.

    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.

    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"

    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.
