I will first take apart the negative reviews of the show.1. This show is not educational.a. DUH!!!! It is not designed to be educational. It is designed to be a kick ass show about science, which it is. b. I admit, there are not many scientific references in the show, but most of the myths they test are from Hollywood; and we know how much Hollywood loves science. c. Next, the myths are based upon how many users recommend them, and if you want to blame anyone, blame the users for recommending non-scientific myths.2. The later parts of the show were worse because they had another team testing it, and it ruined the show because there were women on it and the team are all morons.a. This comment is sexist(and I am a man). Who says girls can't have just as must fun as boys?b. Have you seen the girl on this show, man? She is not girly at all. c. The original episodes were good, but the problem was they were only getting through one myth at a time,and,with the amount of myths they had being recommended,it was getting harder and harder to decide which myths to test. So they decided to employ another team to get them through the backlog of myths to test.d. The team is not morons, they are just trying to have a good bit of fun.3. Mythbusters myth results aren't always true, and that's the way it is.a. They are human, they make mistakes.b. If you write to them and ask them to redo a myth, they will.c. Specific "example", from the review itself. The myth of your socks getting knocked off. The Mythbusters were testing the old BOXING adage,not the case in general. They were testing whether this could happen and someone could live to tell the tale. And besides, they proved it could happen (on a revisit), but you need a truck to hit you. Doing 75mph. They bust myths that based on the fact, either it is impossible for it to happen,or,the circumstances required are so out of reach,that it might as well be impossible. And being hit by a train (from the review itself), is an almost impossible circumstance.4. The show has a good premise, but the myths they bust are stupid.a. Please read point one, sub-points b-c.5. They spoil movies.a. So what? If you don't want to watch a spoiler, then watch something else.b. If there is nothing else on, turn the TV off and go do something else.6. The last review is so stupid I am only going to glorify it a short response.a. If you want to read it, it is the review titled Wrong material for Finger in a Barrel.I. What does that have to do with the show? The reviews are supposed to be about the show in general, not one specific episode.After all of that, I am finally able to summarize all the good parts about the show:a. The show makes science fun.b. This show is not boring, as MOST science-based shows are.c. This show is somewhat educational, even though it may not try or look to be.d. This show has a broad audience appeal, and can be watched by almost anyone, regardless of age or gender.I. For example, both my mom, and my littlest brother, age 8, enjoy the show and almost can't tear themselves away under any circumstance.
... View MoreI always hated science at school I've never been the kind of person who likes to be educated but MythBusters is good for anybody it really makes science fun and it's always a bonus watching them blow stuff up. Plus Kari Byron is FIT :)My favourite episodes are the ones where they have to test themselves by attempting to scare themselves for fear or sleep deprivation those tests are fun or torture each-other haha. The show is funniest when they go overboard.Sometimes the show can be a bit boring when the topic is less action based as for rating show a solid 8 out of 10.I'd recommend checking it out if you haven't seen it before!
... View MoreThere is no way this show be rated lower than any other TV Show ! This show is real ! it shows real things and still excites every one! As an engineer, first few series were not that good, i was kind of thinking the technical way. But once you know you have limitations in house (i.e work place for them) then its pretty good. You do have limitations every where, you can never have a perfect build. Thats what they do, make the best fit and test it. They keep getting better with every episode and every season. Season 7 episode 1 was awesome. I found that episode more entertaining than the blockbusters of that year (any year for that matter). These people are here for serious entertainment, and also will tickle your mind, as to how far can you go in the best Lab conditions! 10 out of 10 is too little for this show, as this one entertains beyond any other TV series ever can! I term them "gods of entertainment" ! And last thing is - Kari Byron is very hot !
... View MoreI love this show. Mythbusters is about as good as they come when it comes to TV programming. The Cast is great, seem to know what they're talking about (as opposed to random TV personalities thrown out and given lines, while those in back do all of the work), and can tackle new ideas each time. It never seems like this show will run out of steam, despite the limited number of myths that they can do. The "specials" such as the Pirate, Superhero, and Shark myths specials are great, which is unheard of on cable TV. Usually the word "special" is enough to make you run away. I can't see this show going off the air anytime soon. Excellent show! 10/10
