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.

I have always loved this show but over the last couple years I was sort of losing interest. It seemed a little dumbed down. Well maybe that's not the way to put it. I guess it felt like it was being geared towards a much younger audience. Almost for kids in a way. But this new season rocks! Bringing it back to the roots with just Adam & Jamie is awesome! And the show seems more sophisticated then ever! Hopefully they will stay with the new format and get enough of an audience to continue on into the future.

Excellent show! I grew up watching this, and I have no intention of stopping going through a season or two (or 19) every once in a while when I run out of other TV to watch. I would love to see a bundle with all the seasons though, that would make the purchase that much more compelling!!

Though it is sad to say mythbusters is officialy going off, they have been an incredible group of people over the last 14 years. Hats off to you Jamie, Adam, Torie and the other 2 that I for some reason never remember but anyways........its been a great time!
