After over six years of being called The Ben Heck Show, the team came up with a list of new names for the show, asked for suggestions for new show names, and put the final decision on what to call the show up for discussion by the element14 community.  After judiciously weighing members' suggestions, with the names they came up with themselves, the team makes a surprise announcement, nearly a week after hanging the future of the name of show in the balance!

    Wow, talk about anti-climax of the year. But on a serious note I thought The Ben Heck Show is just fine and dandy, why change the name when it is'nt broken.

    but isn't Ben leaving the show? hence the need for the name change unless his replacement if this is true is also called Ben..

    Just my observation....

     

    Having Co-Hosts have helped the show, and given it a Variety.

     

    They are part of the Team, and you can not build a "Baseball/Football/BasketBall/Hockey" Team
    on only "One Star" player. The combination and varied viewpoints and expertise are a
    tremendous contribution. Felix, Max & Karen are playing important "Supporting Roles".

     

    Ben may need a Hiatus, and the Team members may need a break. It's okay, and we can
    review material (aka. Re-Runs) of the show. Viewers do need to particpate and engage
    a little more with the Hosts and learn from other viewers.

     

    This is just my "2 Pico-Farads" worth of comment.

     

    Kind Regards,

     

    Jim F, Calgary Alberta Canada

    Why is he leaving?  Does he not realize he IS the show?

    Cringiest Episode ever!

     

    Glad you didn't change your name, alternatively changing your name wouldn't have been the worst change ever.  Just do us a favor, don't change the format of the show too much.  I can only speak for myself in saying that I love watching you break down electronics into bits that are understandable and easy to digest (sometimes it causes informational gas, but its a decent side effect), I also enjoy watching you review products that are "all the rage", and then watch you complain that something is just janky or lame because of the low quality parts used.  Finally, I really enjoy that you are working on smaller bits of larger projects, this helps me really see every aspect of what you are doing when you are building your project and makes it so it doesn't need to be skipped or rushed to completion.

     

    So in summary, don't try to fix what ain't broke, and keep going what keeps working, i.e. your entire show.

     

    P.S.: We enjoy the cringe, its what makes TBHS special.

    Thank you! I get that Ben probably wants to leave soon, but changing the name would have been kind of a bait-and-switch. You have my support if you continue the show after whenever Ben decides to leave, but please don't change the name before that.

    Ok so the name didn't change and that's great. Sorry to Karen and Felix and the other guy. I think Karen and Felix  should get a chance to have more camera time and perhaps their own projects. This would give them the opportunity to own an element 14 show. Then the Ben Heck show can be known as a springboard for young makers and draw in more talent over time.

    Or...you knew this was coming...

      What the "Heck" was that?

     

    Now we need to have a contest about changing Ben's last name to match the show's name.
