TOP GEAR and MYTHBUSTERS vs. young, hip shows with fake enthusiasm

Fake enthusiasm $uck$:evil:.

Why don't TV networks realize that people don't follow your show just because you put young people in it. (Here's lookin' at you "Effin Science"). Simply yelling "Wooooooo!!11!!" or "Yeaaaaaaahhhh!!!111!!" or "Awesome" every five seconds does not hide the fact that you don't have anything of consequence to say. It only higlights it.

Also, blowing things up does not make your show good either :roll: (Yeah, I'm talking to you Smash Lab!)

Now look at Top Gear or Mythbusters. You have people on these shows who know how to hold a conversation and actually pepper the episodes with witty and funny comments. They don't have to rely on empty excamations to distract the audienceand maskthe sheer insipidity of their show. What do you guys think?

Top Gear is the only show worth watching. 8)

Palantas recently decided to watch Mythbusters, and I got the first six seasons. I'm loving it. Usually, I hate reality TV, because as you note, thread creator, the enthusiasm is so forced and unrealistic. So, I agree. :)

I always thought Mythbusters was highly overated...don't get me wrong..some of the episodes where great...I just didn't get the chubby that the rest of the world seemed to have for it....I have not watched top gear since I'm not much of a car person....Omni-Slash

I f***ing love Top Gear. And I used to love Mythbusters, but it sucks now. Seems more like an educational show for 12-year-olds instead of Adam and Jamie just having fun.Dark__Link

all those shows are better then DUDE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN, ever 5 seconds they gotta say DUDE

Can't say I watch Top Gear, but from what I have seen of Mythbusters they seem to be mostly nerds getting to do nerdy things and they love doing those things. Who wouldn't be enthusiastic about getting to have their own tv show doing the things they love?

Yeah Top Gear is awesome, even when it's totally fake (such as the Evo vs. British army with live rounds) it's still fun to watch.

i love top gear and mythbusters :D

I'd watch a lot of things over Top Gear and Mythbusters.

I love Mythbusters! Its one of my favorite shows. Most TV to me is so fake and stupid. Mythbusters is one of the few shows that restores my faith in decent TV. I can't comment on Top Gear, I never saw that show, but I'll take your word for it TC :P

Well I think Tosh.0 is better than anything you listed and wayyyyy better than Mythbusters.

Personally I don't see the hype around Top Gear, I think Stewart Lee sums it up fairly wellYouTube - Stewart Lee on Top Gear(takes a little time to get going)

I love Mythbusters, when I can watch it

Top Gear is pretty cool, but I am not much into cars. If they made a Top Gear-equivelent that was about 4-wheeling, well, then I'd be totally up for that

MythBusters has gone downhill in the last couple of seasons partly due to the fact they seem to be running out of good myths to test. I remember back in the first couple seasons they would due 3 or 4 myths per episode but now every episode they only due 2 per episode, that being said its still a good show.

And for anyone bashing MythBusters "I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Top Gear kicks ass.

Mythbusters went to crap.

Sounds like some show is ripping off Brainiac.

you know what I find interesting aboutCarlos Mencia? If I tell people a joke of his without mentioning his name they usually end up laughing.

I love Mythbusters, some of the episodes are fantastic, have you guys seen the one where they tested the Bullet Theory? That according to the laws of physics, a bullet dropped and fired at the smae height should land in the same amount of time.

And Zeyam, Look on the internet, you will be able to find sites that have those shows on there site(s).

It appears that OP forgot that Top Gear and Mythbusters are sucky shows.

I've been watching Top Gear for as long as I can remember, living in England makes it easier to watch most episodes because they're always on. I don't think I've ever laughed so much for a show.
