2 Deadliest Catch Crabtastic Special

5/8/13

Deadliest Catch captains Johnathan and Junior join the MythBusters to test if a crab pot will drag you overboard to the bottom if your foot is caught in a coil, if it's better to work a 30-hr grind with no sleep, and if crab pots truly are indestructible.

3 Down and Dirty/ Earthquake Survival

Watch the ALL NEW season of MythBusters Wednesdays at 9PM E/P. The MythBusters test if using a bathroom's hand dryer is better than a paper towel and which stall is the cleanest. They test if it's better to stand in the doorway during an earthquake.

4 Indy Car Special

5/22/13

The MythBusters burn rubber at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway testing racing myths. Can man beat machine in a 30-ft, standing-start sprint? Can a driver lose 10 lbs during a race? Can a race tire's suction rip loose a manhole cover during a street race?

5 Battle of the Sexes - Round 2

5/29/13

It's Round 2 of Battle of the Sexes and the MythBusters test the cliches: Will lost men really not stop and ask for directions? Are women better multi-taskers? Which sex can parallel park with aplomb? And should "throwing like a girl" really be an insult?

6 Motorcycle Water Ski

6/5/13

Jamie puts his life on the line to test the myth that a motorcycle traveling at highway speeds can drive across the surface of a lake. The MythBusters test whether you can survive a jump from a highrise with a parachute made from a hotel room's contents.

7 Hypermiling/Crash Cusions

6/12/13

Could a guy sandwiched between two big guys in the backseat of a car survive the car being T-boned by a truck? The MythBusters also hit the road to test three more hypermiling myths. Can these simple techniques really double your car's fuel efficiency?

8 Duct Tape Canyon

6/19/13

Lost in the wilderness, Adam and Jamie survive the desert, repel down canyon cliff-faces, and brave Class 5 rapids, all with duct tape and bubble wrap. Guest appearance by Nik Wallenda, famous tightrope walker, who has his own way to traverse the canyon.

9 Painting with Explosives/ Bifurcated Boat

6/26/13

After 7 years, it's back to unsolved Myth-teries: Can Adam's snowflake of death or Jamie's special sphere paint a room with a boom? Then, the fans demand the return to the cursed, bifurcated boat myth to see if it can be split in two by a channel marker.

10 Breaking Bad Special

8/12/13

Things get volatile when the MythBusters meet creator Vince Gilligan and star Aaron Paul to check the chemistry behind the hit TV show "Breaking Bad". The team recreates two iconic, acidic scenes to see if the science truly holds up, melts down, or blows.

11 Zombie Special

10/17/13

WALKING DEAD's Michael Rooker joins the team to test zombie myths. Is an ax or a gun more effective when you're swarmed by zombies? Adam turns un-dead to test if the "might of the living dead" can bust down Jamie's door. Can you outrun--or smart--a horde?

About this show

Each episode, the MythBusters, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, two special effects experts with more than 30 years of experience, methodically set out to bust three urban legends. And they don't just explain if something's true or false: through trial and error, they demonstrate it. Sometimes they crash things, sometimes they blow things up -- all in the name of science.

Though it is sad to say mythbusters is officialy going off, they have been an incredible group of people over the last 14 years. Hats off to you Jamie, Adam, Torie and the other 2 that I for some reason never remember but anyways........its been a great time!

Excellent show! I grew up watching this, and I have no intention of stopping going through a season or two (or 19) every once in a while when I run out of other TV to watch. I would love to see a bundle with all the seasons though, that would make the purchase that much more compelling!!

I have always loved this show but over the last couple years I was sort of losing interest. It seemed a little dumbed down. Well maybe that's not the way to put it. I guess it felt like it was being geared towards a much younger audience. Almost for kids in a way. But this new season rocks! Bringing it back to the roots with just Adam & Jamie is awesome! And the show seems more sophisticated then ever! Hopefully they will stay with the new format and get enough of an audience to continue on into the future.
