I normally don't write reviews, I just vote my opinion and thats it. I used my DVR to get the first episode of this show knowing it was nothing but a mythbusters spin off. I expected something watchable but had to stop half-way through. You have 3 guys and one girl(The Scientist), hey that's pretty close to mythbuster's 4 guys and one girl. One major problem I had was that "The Scientist" sounds really stupid. I felt like some writer was giving her lines to say which sounded as scientific as they could come up with while she seemed to me to be dumber than a dumb blonde. Everyone on mythbusters seems to know what they are talking about and it doesn't feel like someone wrote lines for them to say. Though I've always wondered what the specialty of the girl on mythbusters is, she's never seemed stupid to me. Why watch a fake version of mythbusters on the same channel as mythbusters when you can just watch the real thing. This show won't last very long. Don't waste an hour watching it, you're better off washing your hair or watching 2 rerun episodes of the wonder years :-).
edit I've tried watching some of the episodes following the first one. I finally forced myself to finish watching the first episode on my DVR, which left me wishing I had just not finished it. I have been unable to sit through an entire episode of the show as it feels so fake. As many people have stated, they are trying hard to take the last 5-10min of mythbusters and stretch it in to an hour long show, unfortunately it just doesn't work. With mythbusters I love every bit of the leading up to the big bang. This show makes you want to fast forward to the end to see if there is anything interesting there and when when you get there, there's not. I wish they would just show another episode of mythbusters in this time slot until they find something else to replace it.
