Season 16 episodes (7)

1 Fire in the Hole
7/10/14
The MythBusters tackle some of Hollywood's favorite explosive scenarios. Could a hero really shoot a live grenade in midair and thus render it useless? Could you really contain a TNT explosion inside an ordinary object like a file cabinet or aquarium?
2 Household Disasters
7/17/14
The MythBusters test household myths: Could a vacuum cleaner explode while sucking up black powder? Could sunscreen scorch your skin? Could a piano crash through your roof? And finally could an exploding water heater extinguish a house fire?
3 Commercial Myths
7/24/14
Season-only
The MythBusters go to vertigo-inducing heights to test: Could you bob for an apple when jumping from a 100-foot high bungee cord? And from a viral video, could you really play a match of tennis while both players are standing on top of an airplane's wing?
4 Road Rage
7/31/14
The MythBusters test three car crimes straight from Hollywood: the cliff top push, the two-wheel wipeout, and finally the Corvette barrel roll from "Wanted".
5 Laws of Attraction
8/7/14
The MythBusters use sexy science to tackle five captivating clichés about the laws of attraction including if men really do prefer blondes, if pheromone sprays really work, if bigger boobs equal bigger tips, and does a man's wealth really woo women?
6 Traffic Tricks
8/7/14
The MythBusters tackle congestion questions: testing shockwave jams, if a roundabout is better than a 4-way stop sign, if it's faster to drive than fly when your trip is under 400 miles, and if it's better to change lanes or stay put in heavy traffic.
7 Plane Boarding/Bite the Bullet
8/21/14
Adam and Jamie buckle up and return their seats to the upright position to test what really is the best, most efficient way to board an airplane. Tory, Kari, and Grant find out if a bullet made of teeth or even bone is non-traceable.

About this show

Each episode, the MythBusters, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, two special effects experts with more than 30 years of experience, methodically set out to bust three urban legends. And they don't just explain if something's true or false: through trial and error, they demonstrate it. Sometimes they crash things, sometimes they blow things up -- all in the name of science.

Amazing, just amazing. I really like watching this on Hulu so google play movies PLEASE make it free, it would get rid of the haters who are doing nothing but hating with their life. I just wish that it would go on longer... but just PLEASE MAKE IT FREE! I don't wanna keep on dealing with the haters, so please keep on going with this show! I am now just typing to make my point, so please pardon my insanity at the hater for blaming Mythbusters for cruddy Google Play Movies choices band giving Mythbusters,ONE OF THE ONLY SHOWS I EVER WATCH. But season 11, WOW. JUST WOW. Only 10 episodes...

We have been watching this show from the beginning. The new season doesn't have Grant, Tori, or Kari. And while I have to say I miss Grant and Tori so much, I am more happy that I don't have to deal with pushy Kari anymore. The show was always worth putting up with her but it's nice going back to just the boys. Adam and Jamie have such a great chemistry. And while Grant and Tori shared their love and joy of science and figuring out stuff. I am enjoying watching them do their thing without the drama.
