For as long as it's been around, I've loved Modern Marvels. But in 2021, it has gone downhill, and a steep one at that. This program does not need a host. It slows down the continuity of the show, partly because he is too busy making an effort to be a celebrity, instead of being informative. With this guy as a host, the show is mindful of shows on the Food Channel, and we don't need another one of those! Bring back the old format. PLEASE!
I liked Adam Richman in Man v Food but on Modern Marvels he tends to praise whatever he's talking about too much. Hey Heather! Way too much. Add in the difficulty understanding him with the stupid mask on I'm close to not watching anymore.
Used to be my favorite show.

Anyone whoever has a chance to watch this show should! It is very entertaining. You need no scientific or engineering knowledge whatsoever...They cover every single topic: From movies and sex, to ships and storm, to terrorism and the military. Every topic is entertaining. You can watch the shows for FREE on the History Channel website. Any topic that has ever interested will be described in detail...the history and the future of the topics are covered. Some of the best episodes are the Engineering Disaster episodes. These episodes talk all about things that fail from the 1900's on. Watch this show...you will learn...and you will be entertained...
When I think History Channel I think Modern Marvels. In a strange way it is very addictive. You learn so much you just want more and more. You could watch a marathon of this and not notice that hours have passed by. It covers everything from entertainment to architectural achievements to politics. It is so explanatory and at the same times it gives you a time line of whatever the show is displaying. What makes this show so great is that it could cover any topic including ones I'm not interested in and make me interested. This show at times has compelled me to research further to extensively learn about something for myself. A great show that does not base its episodes on speculation but on facts and examines and investigates them as well. I couldn't ever imagine this being taken off the air.
For 2021 the format changed to have live host Adam Richman. The focus is now less onactual information and all about Adam. It's now total crap. Bring back the old format.
