Mythbusters

[Goalie]

Does anyone watch the Mythbustter on the discovery channel. I think it is the coolest show.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Never watched it, but I've heard of it. Many friends talk about it a lot. I've heard of a few myths that have been 'busted'.

[Sjakihata]

Seen it a few times

[ShadesPanther]

One of my favorite shows, Adam Savage has to be one of my role models but I am not sure that a good thing

[Goalie]

Yea, mythbusters is an awesome show they spend the first half of the show trying to bust a myth and the next half trying to blow up whatever they can. That would be the coolest job ever.

One of my favorite shows, Adam Savage has to be one of my role models but I am not sure that a good thing

"It probably isn't a good thing, but what the heck..." not only summarizes the idea of Adam as a role model, but also his overall philosophy on some of the crazy, i.e. "less than wise", things he does on the show.

bettkicker, I like both aspects of the show too. First, it is fascinating watching them try to bust a myth , and then afterwards go that next step into the absurd - which usually does involve blowing up something. They are usually pretty good about their science but I do disagree with one of their conclusions. In one show, they "busted" the myth of Benjamin Franklin discovering electricity by flying a kite on the premise that he would have been fried by the shock. That is a bunch of hooey because there are lots of people who survive lightning strikes. Why couldn't Franklin survive such a shock as well? Well, Adam and Jamie weren't working on that myth, so we can chalk up that mistake to the inexperience of the B team.

I used to watch it when it began, but I just lost interest. Don't get me wrong, I've seen it recently and it's a good show, but it just isn't what I want to see anymore.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

I watched the one where they test if you can die by shooting a bullet strait up.

[Drisos]

I like it but rarely see it because of my total lack of free time.. grr

Especially the explosions etc and anyone seen the show in which the more weird of the two was testing locks? he crashed himself on the door but the silly 'chain-lock' kept it closed lol

[The Wizard]

I rather enjoy watching it.

Jamie: "I actually rather enjoy seeing Adam in pain."
Adam has just had a coin shot into the palm of his hand at terminal velocity.

Sort of got bored of it after 5 shows..

Like the show Brainiac a lot though, useless sience, explosions and nice looking ladies combining the above :).
