I already saw that episode before, but I watched it anyway because it's one of my favorites. You should have seen them build (and destroy) that giant Lego ball. :lol

Anyway, I checked the TV schedule and there's no new episodes tonight, but I'll be watching the reruns on Sunday afternoon because I like many of those episodes. Of the ones that will be on that day, my favorite would be Viral Hour, in which they test if some viral videos found online could actually be done or if they were faked.

It was almost soul crushingly depressing to see that giant lego ball get destroyed like that. So much work, down the tube. What a waste.

Yes, that's a new Pokemon!
Next week, Duct Tape comes back for even more tests. Just how amazing is this man-made creation?

Lats week's episode was one of my favorites. They revisited the myth of "knock your socks off" because the viewers claimed they didn't use the best-case scenario. The other myth they tested was that a head-on collision at 50 mph would cause the same damage as hitting a wall at 100mph, based on a comment Jamie made during the revisit of the compact compact myth.

I think this week's episode tonight will also be one of my favorites. Based on the commercial I've seen, they're going to use duct tape to build a full-scale bridge and a car-stopping barrier. I can't wait to see how those tests will turn out.

I just saw a re-run, and I STILL don't believe it!

A metal bucket filled with thermite, on top of 10 blocks of ice and it made an explosion when lit. Nothing else was involved.

By EVERY law of physics, this shouldn't have happened, but it did.

On top of that, they did 10 times the amount of the myth and it STILL made an explosion.

Something in the real world that defies physics? WTF!?

Not sure if it defies physics, I'd guess not, but how about chemistry. That has to be taken into account also.

To celebrate it's 25th Anniversary, the Discovery Channel is putting together a week long marathon of it's best episodes. Including a fan picked Top 25 Episode Marathon of the Mythbusters.

Whoa! That's more than a whole day! :wow

This Marathon takes place on the 16th at 9/8c. (7 am where I live. :) ) Let's just see what the fans have picked. :D

Actually, what will be on tonight will be a two hour episode that will highlight the top 25 moments of Mythbusters. I can't wait to see what will be in that episode. :D

Well, the Mythbusters did not disappoint with the Top 25 Moments. Especially with saving the best for last. Explosions! Explosions! EXPLOSIONS! :wow

I doubt they'll ever top this. :)

Well, you can't beat the breathalyzer! In fact, one way makes it look like you're about to die, as .5 is the "You're Dead" area.

Sorry, if you're over the limit, you can't hide it. :)

Very interesting video. It would seem that the urban myths are all wrong.

Remember that episode where they put together this ancient Korean multiple-rocket launcher and made it work? I got another idea they could do. Create a working Roman polybolos, or repeating crossbow ballista. There are no reports of the thing ever used.

It seems that all the new episodes these days are "Buster's Cut" episodes of ones that have already aired. As far as I can tell, the only difference between the original and the "Buster's Cut" is pop-ups of fun facts, and a scene or two that didn't appear in the original. Yes, I'll still watch these episodes, too. Many of these episodes are ones that I like anyway and wouldn't mind seeing them again.

If I hadn't forgotten about this topic, I would have mention over two weeks ago that there are new episodes now airing. Last week's new episode featured the Stormchasers, in which the Mythbusters tested their armored vehicles for wind speeds up to 250 mph.

Does anybody here still watch Mythbusters? Just thought I'd bring up this topic again because tonight's new episode will feature a request from president Barack Obama himself.

Okay, if the president asks, it's got to be important. However, I even begin to think what it could possibly be.

Still, I'll watch it! :)
