Mythbusters

POSTED BY | THURSDAY AUGUST 7 AT 7:18 PDT 

If you're the kind of kid that used to watch Bill Nye, then you've probably already been following these two mad scientists blow crap up since the beginning. Mythbusters is the show that's almost single-handedly responsible for Discovery's line-up full of shows where people explode things and justify it by showing some scientific formula. It's a fun watch, even if you hate learning, and since you're reading this site, there's a good chance that you do.

Network: Discovery

Airs: Wednesdays at 9 PM

Hey there, non-believers! It's about that time of year again, time to reject someone else's reality and come up with your own! That is, if you buy into the whole "Mythbusters" tagline (which, we have to admit, is a pretty good one.)  In the upcoming Fall '09 premiere of Discovery's mega-hit "Mythbusters" - airing Wednesday, October 7th at 9pm ET/PT - hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage stir the scientific establishment's pot once again, and if any of the clips below are an indication, they'll cook up quite the batch of chili con carnage.   The first clip challenges the theory that if you take two bullets and drop one from a certain height while shooting the other from a gun at that same height... that they'll hit the ground at the same time.

Episode: "Viral Videos." Everyone made a big deal about it when they tested the Diet Coke and Mentos myth, so I guess it only makes sense that they would devote a whole episode to wacky internet videos. I've posted the original clips of the videos they tested below, just in case you're a total n00b. The car lifted by firehoses: More...

Episode: "Nasa Moon Landing." I try to get into fist fights with conspiracy theorists as often as possible. They're usually fat guys or 15 year olds with studded leather jackets so I win pretty easily.
