The Mythbusters
Ok I admit it, I am a fanatic Mythbusters fan. It appeals to that massive inner Nerd which I just can’t deny. And what’s not to love? I’m like a kid in a candy store. Or rather a science geek in a dream. Science, explosions, random information that serves very little purpose? Fantastic! One thing I have found though is that myths make great conversation starters with people I don’t know. If I’m bored at a function filled with strangers I will just bring up a “myth” from mythbusters and before long I’ve got a cluster of people fighting over it. It works brilliantly and it’s entertaining.
The show won’t be back on until May on Discovery (though you can catch lots of reruns), but thankfully they seem to have the budget to try bigger and more complex myths, so I’m expecting big things next season. Overall, season 8 (I think that’s where they are at), should be brilliant, especially with the return of Kari, because while Jessi is great, Kari is the Queen of Mythbusters.
Until then, it’s time for a season 1-6 DVD marathon in this rainy weather.
