Back then it was the best around, but does not compare to Avatar. Mythbuster: lots of fun, bigger tests, probably more episodes and on longer, and good cast. |
I'd say Jurassic Park was a lot more advance during its' time compared to other movies than Avatar was to recent movies. Nostalgia doesn't always mean something is over hyped though. I can go back and play some 8 and 16 bit games and have a blast. Probably have more fun than playing most current games. Ice Hockey (NES) anyone?
How about this thinking... I would say MythBusters is nothing more than an educated Jackass. Why? Because they do science related myths that technically no one should try at home. While fun to watch it provides no real engagement for someone really interested in science. Bill Nye however showed you experiments that you could preform at home and show your parents, friends, etc... That to me is a far better science program (especially for kids). That is why I said in the op maybe MythBusters needs an offshoot of the series where they actually do experiments that you can do at home.
