Dear Discovery Channel. Or possibly Discovery Channel Norway, or Scandinavia or whatever.

What the hell?! You’re replacing Mythbusters with Brainiac in the eight o’ clock timeslot? Braniac?! What’s wrong with you? Mythbusters wipes the floor with Brainiac!

Now, I’ve watched those re-runs five times, and you know damn well that I’d watch them five more. Why on Earth take them away for something as insipid as Brainiac?

I’m all for phasing out American culture, but we have to face facts here! What we have here is an American show that is better than the British replacement. Swallow the bile, and put it back on! If you can’t find it in your hearts to do this, perhaps a worthy British version of Mythbusters could be made. They took Scrapheap Challenge, so they probably owe you. I have my doubts, but it might work, if you put Robert Llewellyn and some other charismatic fellows in it.

Still, that should be “Plan B”. “Plan A”, simpler and probably cheaper, is GIVE ME BACK THE MYTHBUSTERS, DAMMIT!

Yours truly,
Obdormio.
