Show Summary

  • Returning Series

Did a Medieval Chinese astrologer make it into space by strapping rockets to his chair and setting them off? Just how hard IS it to find a needle in a haystack? Can you in fact go insane by having water drip on your forehead? These are just a few of the myths, urban legends, and improbable sayings that the Mythbusters try to figure out. Comprised of special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Heineman - as well as their mottley crew of Mythbuilders, Mythterns, and resident 'crash test dummy' Buster - they don't just tell the myths, they put them to the test to see which ones are possible, and which ones are just plain bunk. As of 2008, MYTHBUSTERS has tested 600 myths, done over 1,900 experiments and created over 650 explosions to prove these Myths Right or Wrong! Some information found here is thanks to http://www.mythbustersfanclub.com , who helped with episode ordering, season break downs, and other myth information :)

  • The 100' Steam Powered Guided Missle

    8.0
    "Great"
    By Wizard1, May 07, 2012
    I believe there was a show about a steam powered guided missle. The missle powered by steam pushes it into the sky 1000s of feet, however, when the missle starts to fall wings will come out shaping it into a glider.
    In the nose of the glider is a camera, on the ground a person will be wearing goggles allowing this person to fly the Glider to its target.

    For me, this is the perfect show. I love science, and many of their experiments are interesting, insightful and even thought provoking. It answers the ever-nagging what if questions and puts many urban legends and rumors to rest.
    The science is always presented in a sleek and cool way, flawlessly combining genuine science and nonsensical goofiness. The cast of characters are also extremely good at what they do and have an excellent chemistry. The show also has a certain level of excitement with all of their explosions and keep you anxiously waiting to see what the results will be.
    The thing I like best about the show is when they completely surprise you with their results. Often preposterous myths like "Bulletproof Water" are shockingly proved true. They also have a wide variety of household myths like "Diet Coke and Mentos", their "Duct Tape Hour" and one of my favorites "Phone Book Friction".
    Their interaction with the fans is also very commendable. I especially came to appreciate that fact when they actually tested one of the myths I submitted to them.
    I would recommend this program to anybody who might be interested in an interesting and exciting science-based show.moreless

  • Science has never been this fun

    "Perfect"

    Does a bull go mad at seeing red? Is it possible to use a grappling hook on a building? These are just some of the few questions that the Mythbusters take a look at and solve them. The Mythbusters is a show that specializes in many myths and sees if they are true or not. From those Hollywood cliches to the ancient times with weapons like tree cannons, they will take the case and test them. The show stars Adam Savage and Jamie Heineman as they test certain myths that are given to them by viewers. They are also joined by another team, Grant Imahara, Tory Belleci, and Kari Byron. Together they bust myths. All the hosts on this show are very funny, in particular Adam. They not only teach about science but they do it in a fun way as well with diagrams and actual show how it's done. The hosts also provide plenty of humor as well and are hilarious. The myths themselves are very interesting, and watching them prove them or busting them is satisfying. There are even myths that are plausible, meaning that the myth can be done, but not by a lot. My only grip with this show has to be Kari. She really does not do anything in this show and just sits there with a smile on her face. Other than that small complaint, it's time to ask. Is Mythbusters a really good show? Well with awesome hosts, great myths from a variety of places, a great way to learn science, funny moments, and seeing the myths being executed in a great way. It's confirmed, this show is excellent and is a must see for everyone.moreless
