Mythbusters Season Opener!

[furtech]

Tonight was Mythbusters season opener-- Wow!

A whole two hours of debunking or confirming car myths! I'm not sure what was cooler: the re-creation of the car-beating-falling-car-commercial, the two semi's pancaking a compact car or...oh, let's face it: it was the rocket-propelled steel sled pancaking a compact car (the two stages of rockets got the sled-- with a front-sheet of one-inch steel-- up to seven-hundred miles per hour! I would SO love to have one of those high speed video cameras! Still a few decimal points off from being affordable, though.

Bob Edwards interviewed Jamie and Adam on his XM-Sirius show today in honor of their premier: two of my favorite things together-- Mythbusters and Bob Edwards! I think you need to subscribe to listen to episodes online, but they don't ask for much (about $12/month). Edwards is such a good interviewer and he brings out the best in his guests.

D'oh! I missed it. Good thing Discovery repeats shows.

I like that Discovery follows in the fine tradition of PBS with endless repeat showings...and this one is not to be missed! They have finally gotten the huge budget they deserve.

The show can best be described as "The Dukes of Hazzard meet 'Science'."

Yeah, I actually saw the repeat a few hours later that was intended for "west coast viewers". I just happened to up real late.
