Awesome show, my favourite was the Tree Cannon that made one helluva bang, this show is so much better than Braniac.

My favourite episode so far is the one when they test the myth that you're safe from bullets fired above the surface if you're under water.

My teacher is trying to get them to do this one experiment that has something to do with electrions and the electric field, so he wants our class to spam them. It's basically how ceramic wrap creates so much charge, that an electric field is formed around it, and some peole say that the field is so strong, it's like an invisible wall.

I've seen some of the episodes and it's intriguing. Some of the results may be wrong and some of the methods could be flawed as well, but you have to give them credit. They are on a budget and time restraint so I'm guessing most of the time they don't have the equipment / time to properly test all variables of the situation.

This is one of the few shows on TV that actually make me wish I had Cable again.

Best episode was the one seeing if dynamite could be used to get dried cement out of a cement mixer. They blew one of the cement mixers up so well, there wasn't really anything left of it.

I liked the Jaws episode of the series. It dispelled a lot of myths surrounding the movie especially the scuba tank explosion.

Mythbusters rocks!

Jaime Hynemann and Adam Savage are my ideal science teachers!

There was one episode where they made an ancient chinese underground invader detector (a large ancient chinese drum) to detect enemy invaders penetrating underground, which, believe it or not, perfectly works!

I never miss an episode of it!

I thought it was very interesting to know that it would take over 35,000 balloons just to get a small-child only a few feet off the ground. Damn you cartoons and totally screwing with reality and thus... my dreams!!!

oh, and knowing that water stops bullets just may come in handy ::rubs chin all suave-like:: what was it? like 5 feet down and bullets are basically harmless?
