Overall I think DSTV is 'n bit annoying with all the repeats but at least Mythbusters is cool, I won't miss an episode. I just love it when they make things go "BOOM".![]()
Used to like it, until they brought in all those extra people.
I agree with you guys that Mythbusters went a bit "funny" for a while...
Too predictable... less science... more ridiculousnessness...
but season 8 was actually awesome... the younger Mythbusters toned down their "Over the topness" and began to do some pretty interesting things.
Jamie and Adam actually went back to "more science" with many more interactive explanations (science time-outs if you prefer) which makes you feel as if you're part of the logical process involved in busting myths...
Season 9 has been awesome so far... (9 episodes in)
from seasons 4 through 6, i found that chick soooooo irritating! Trying to "out-man" the 2 guys! But she's toned it down a lot and the 3 younger Mythbusters actually have pretty cool "chemistry" these days.
Jamie and Adam have stopped blowing random things up at every chance... they've taken to more "refined" mythbusting.
I mean... the 2 latest episodes didn't have a single explosion! episode 8 was all about falling into water (if it was the same as concrete if you go high enough)... and whether or not you could dodge a sniper's bullet if he took the shot from far away enough.
then episode 9 (last night's episode) was about whether a fishing reel could catch fire from the fish running with the line and what you could use to in a jam if you get a flat tire and you don't have a spare...
I really enjoy mythbusters... one of the few series I follow religiously.
I enjoy it, my Mom hates Adam Savage
It is probably because of his teeth issue, LOL
