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.

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.

I'm not as biased as many of the other reviewers here. Both Adam, and Jamie have said that they are done with the show. And Kari, Tori, and Grant might not have gotten the big exit the fans wanted, but they are also still done with the show. But even though the hosts are done, we are not done with myths. I can understand this concept and it is a refreshing take on the reality genre. We get to revisit some of the classic myths and we get to see a team of new hosts form. But I would say that in the first episodes it's hard to see some of the ones who is eliminated, which is maybe why they are eliminated in the first place. What I do like is that it still has a some what Mythbusters feel to it by revisiting old locations and that the premise is still to bust or confirm myths. But considering the number of contestants, it gets pretty hectic at first. I'm excited to see who will win in the end and if the winners will have a dynamic that will work for both themselves and the fans.

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.
