Best show EVER!  I don't have a favorite episode...they are all great!  The concrete truck was a cool explosion and so was the train station parachuter....

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Thats every episode!  ;D

A new one:  What is your favorite line?  Its hard to chose one, mine is either the infamous "I reject your reality and substitute my own' or when Adam had the aluminum foil mask on and said "Jamie isn't an evil genious.  I wouldn't say that he's evil or that he is really a genious'

I've only seen two episodes and was unimpressed. One of them was the one with the rockets and the implala, proving that it couldn't take off. Conclusion, it could never have happened because it didn't happen to them. But then, as the rockets were rigged up in a way that provided down force as well as thrust it's not suprising that it didn't fly.

The other one was when they busted the myth about Archemedies mirror. Obviously what a pair of yanks can't do in a weekend the greatest mathmatical genius in history surely couldn't pull off. Yeah right. To top it off a carpenter and an enthusiastic historian on the BBC built a small scale version and suprise suprise, it worked.

So yeah, in conclusion, I don't like it.

Tree cannon, cement truck, RATO car. Any show where they destroy something or use guns. I love Mythbusters!

Mythbusters is the only thing that I miss about having cable. I guess I don't really have a favorite episode either.

Who saw the pirate special last night?  I thought it was hilarious when Adam did the obstacle course the first time, especially the way he was bending over at just the right height to get wacked in the head by the swinging bags ;D
