Starring: Adam Savage, Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman

Summary: Did a Medieval Chinese astrologer make it into space by strapping rockets to his chair and setting them off? Just how hard IS it to find a needle in a haystack? Can you in fact go insane by having water drip on your forehead?

These are just a few of the myths, urban legends, and improbable sayings that the Mythbusters try to figure out.Did a Medieval Chinese astrologer make it into space by strapping rockets to his chair and setting them off? Just how hard IS it to find a needle in a haystack? Can you in fact go insane by having water drip on your forehead?

These are just a few of the myths, urban legends, and improbable sayings that the Mythbusters try to figure out. Comprised of special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Heineman - as well as their mottley crew of Mythbuilders, Mythterns, and resident 'crash test dummy' Buster - they don't just tell the myths, they put them to the test to see which ones are possible, and which ones are just plain bunk.

As of 2008, MYTHBUSTERS has tested 600 myths, done over 1,900 experiments and created over 650 explosions to prove these Myths Right or Wrong!

There are 2 reasons that make this show so good. The first one is the host / team. Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage are awesome. Both have multiple talents and worked as special effects designers for the movie industry They were employed by Industrial Light and Magic which is an achievement in this industry. You should look at their Wikipedia articles because its too much to write down here. Their chemistry is amazing because they are nearly their polar opposites. Jamie is more the calm, no nonsense character with dry humour and Adam is more the hyper active, funny and spontaneous guy. The (Build) team consisting of Scottie Chapman, Kari Byron (replacement for the former), Tory Bellecci and Grant Imahara was not shown in season 1 (They started appearing in season 2 if I remember correctly). In this season they started testing myth. It is not as polished and good as the later season but still awesome. One of my favourite myths was tested in this season. The escape from Alcatraz. Based on the real life events they tested if the escape was possible. Other great myths were the penny drop from the Empire state Building (Deadly or not?), can you be electrocuted by urinating on the third rail, can a cell phone ignite a gas station, can a bullet out of ice work (I forgot in which movie this ides was used) and can you build a cannon out of a tree. There are of cause some myths that are uninteresting to some people and awesome for other. It depends on preference. Escape from Alcatraz is the only exception because the event was legendary and it still comes up today (That means I haven't found anyone who thinks it is boring). Overall this is a solid beginning for one of the best show of all time or at least the most entertaining science show in TV.… Expand
