Bruh just bring back normal modern marvels. If it aint broke, dont fix it. The traditional narrator style was fantastic and suited the show well

[ericchamberlain]

I like Adam, but it’s not the same with out the old narrator. Liked him a bit better.

[codom]

If this show was called another name that be fine, I would like it better. The format of old modern marvels wasn’t broke, so please don’t “fix” it.

[HamburgerAmy]

NOT modern marvels, it's actually about as far from the original show as you can get but i'm still not surprised this was mascaraed by History Channel.

[christophersmallwood]

Is Adam hosting Modern Marvel's now cause I would get cable. He's great!

[DawnYarnDoll]

The joy I have watching Adam eat is another level of comfort food I miss in my life. Sending well wishes to everyone xo

[OzyMandias]

Hey it's the Man vs Food guy. Looks like food won.

[cardoc]

On the new Man vs Food!!! Adam tries to eat an entire conveyor belt of cookies.
I loved how he got so hot an bothered thinking about cookies that his mask fogged up.

[polishmafia]

I fn love modern marvels honestly. How does one not find this fascinating?

[davelinn]

Without narrator Max Raphael, I feel this should not be titled Modern Marvels. Also, I have never understood the appeal of watching someone eat.

[dizzyfeast]

I was just snacking on entenmanns soft baked cookies, always been my favorite since a kid. Finding this was very informative! I thoroughly enjoyed this video!

[nevadak]

Like that weird faced kid said- "you have stolen my childhood 😂." Some of the Best TV growing up watching Modern Marvels with dad actually learning about the things that built our modern world, not a hosted food show.

[bocanjm]

I prefer the old documentary style of Modern Marvels (with a voiceover). He had a powerful voice that made it way more interesting. I typically watch Modern Marvels because of the subject described in the episode title, so I don't really care to watch a host walk down a sidewalk and talk into the camera, trying to add flare. No offense to Adam Richman; I think he's great for more adventurous roles, but this one just doesn't suit him.

[klanigee]

How is it that I have NEVER heard of this name brand? Now I need to go find this and try cookies

[not-jamesnot-lee]

Me watching this: wonders how subway makes their cookies

[andykokes]

Modern marvels isn't supposed to be about a host hamming it up for the camera. Great subject, but for me an unwatchable format. Didnt like this bearded try hard at all.

[RJ-mdin]

Imagine trying to bake 6 million cookies in three ovens, doesn't seem possible to me

[eugenioarpayoglou]

Throwing chocolate chip cookies in the garbage is a crime!!!

[fredgarvin]

I loved the old Modern Marvels episodes with the narrator. Watching this guy stuff his face with cookies and then ice cream is not very appetizing. I hope there will be some non-food related episodes.
