Mythbusters

Who else watches this show?

 

I absolutely love it.

 

The only problem I have is that I am just catching all of the repeats now and the format has changed slightly so much that it's a bit weird watching the episodes with the "folklorist".

 

Anyway, they do a ton of cool shit on the show so if you're into science even a little bit, it's a entertaining way to kill an hour.

 

I'd love to buy the DVDs but they are way overpriced.

 

Anybody else who really enjoys this show?

Its one of those shows that always seems to be on whenever I cant find anything else on. Used to have a Season Pass set up for it but I gave up on that.

It's a classy show. Of course, the myth they did with the person doing a full revolution on a swingset was a waste of time. My mom kept saying it was true, as there was a kid in her elementary school who would accomplish the feat every day.

 

Knowing that I can escape a .50 caliber rifle by jumping into a few feet of water is awesome.

I didn't know they had DVDs.

 

I haven't seen the episode that is currently on (burial, cola)

As Meatwad can attest, the one chick on this show is really hot. Worth watching just for her.

 

It's a fun show in its own right. I liked the one where they tested the Bugs Bunny / Elmer Fudd "finger in the shotgun barrel" cartoon myth. Turns out, you can pretty much jam the barrel of the gun any way you want to, but if you point it and fire it at someone, they're the ones who're going to get fucked up no matter what, not the shooter. None of this "the gun blows up in your hand" bullshit you see in movies.

Tauntaun myth exposed!

Love the show, but hate the Junior Mythbusters (apart from the hot one). It was a lot better with just Adam and Jamie.

From watching Mythbusters I learned that I can blowup a house using some cans of Raid Fumigating Fogger and a lighter.

And I learned you CAN drop a penny from the top of the Empire State Building and not kill someone.

I loved the first season of the show, but the dumb fucks at Discovery had to go and utterly ruin it in it's second season by bringing in the Big Breasted Slut Brigade to "sex up" the show. Cause God forbid they have a hit show that was both geeky and refused to pander to the lowest common denominator geekwise in terms of parading a bunch of pretty girls for guys to stare at.

It's pretty entertaining. Those guys and girls know a lot more about science than I ever will. The big guy really needs to cut-off that gigantic moustache.

The hosts had people send in auditions to be on the show and assist them. You had to have MASSIVE experience with technology/building/special effects. I know this, as I applied. The four people they hired met those requirements. The blond was HARDLY hot, and Kari is incredibly intelligent and great at building things. I know what you mean about "Big Breasted Slut Brigade" though. Kari's B-cups and the Asian guy's HUGE rack make it hard not to stare.

Ignore JasonX, he likes going off on tirades on things that he's not really "in the know" on. Kari's hot, but it's not like they parade her out there in a bikini top and short shorts. She dresses normally, is smart and has a chemistry with her two partners on the build team. Plus, having the build team gives them the opportunity to have two things going on at the same time with a different take on it than Adam and Jamie.

 

I have the first season on DVD and while it's entertaining, you almost get tired of Adam and Jamie after a while. I enjoy both of them as they are smart and entertaining, but sometimes their myths are just kind of...well...boring. The steel toe myth felt like torture, as it was dragged on way too long. The build team had the more entertaining myth that episode (the water bottle jetpack).

You mean like this?

 

 

Well at least they don't have shots like this of her on the show,
