Mythbusters
So, who's a fan?
I've liked Mythbusters for quite awhile (along with a bunch of other Discovery Channel shows) and just saw the knew Alaska episode. Sinking the truck was quite interesting. And now we know that cabin fever is indeed possible....:P

Great show. The new episode with them in alaska was great. I loved the cabin fever myth. Adam and Jamie are some funny charaters.

I've been a fan of the show since it started. I'm a bit behind since
i got rid of my satellite, but, my freind tapes them and lets me barrow them so I still see them eventually.

I love this show. It and KP are two of my favorites.
I, probably like many others, come for the science and stay for the explosions. :P I particularly like the experiment they did testing the effect of water on bullet stopping power. You scoff at that action movie-trick for years, but then realize, "Hey, they were right!"

Ever since I saw that episode I've still been amazed that water can stop even the highest powered bullets. I can't really get that through my head. It's just cool!
Adam and Jamie are great, and so are the others on the show. Their personality brings a lot to solving the myths, and is a large part of why I watch, in addition to the cool science and explosions.
I think the first episode I saw was when Adam was testing the myth about ways to get out of a sinking car. It was really informative, actually.

I say I love all the bits (and there are quite a few) on mentos and diet coke.

You're absolutely right; they did flip a car over with the jet blast from a 747 - also a school bus, and a light plane too.

I thought that was a Brainiac episode. Wasn't MB's attempt abortive because they didn't have the right engine?
