What a bunch of BS!

I wouldn't say that Mythbusters is balanced, they just aren't dealing with the same topics. And frequently (not most of the time but frequently) the methodologies used on Mythbusters are entertaining but not actually of much use in determining results and create a false sense of scientific rigor where they haven't created any.

I prefer Bull**** because they look at more interesting deeper topics. And Mythbusters has mostly run out of good many good myths to examine. That may be true of Bull**** as well. As I said, I've only seen the first two seasons.

I watched the new Mythbusters last week.

The boffo big ticket myth they used for the grand season opener was.... Wait for it.... Can you tenderize steak with explosives.

Wow. Gripping.

The show may have indeed jumped the shark. We'll have to see i things pick up or not.
