    I watch it all the time, but they seem to have answered all the urban legends and myths that I wanted tested, so I really can't think of many more (good ones anyway).

    Great series. I was especially pleased when they tested the old "JATO rocket on a Chev" story...

    Can't think of anything else either, though.
    Maybe they could have a go at debunking a few Hollywood/videogame myths, like the belief that anyone can leap through a glass window unscathed, or that it's possible to land a headshot at 20 yards with a single bullet from a pistol.

    I'm pretty sure they've already tackled the glass window one, D.

    I watch this show every so often, and those two guys are awesome. The best episode is the one where they tried to see whether a duck's quack echoed or not.

    Sounds like the show Brainiac in Britain. They do wacky experiments, often involving beer, and blow up caravans. My favourite one involved caesium and rubidium in a bathtub.

    They show both Brainiac and Mythbusters here in Australia. And Mythbusters pwns Brainiac. The myths are not only better, but more crap gets blown up and in a much much more humourous fashion. Mythbusters also succeeds in appearing more scientific whereas Brainiac is more like "oh look, titties."

    And yes:

    Braniac is okay but Mythbusters is fantastic!

    That show is awesome. I especially liked the episode where they tested that Chinese myth where a philosopher had reached space strapped in a chair equipped with rockets.

    Mythbusters is a rather crappy program.

    I enjoy it. I really like the episode where they flung in the dummy in the catapult to see if it was possible to fling someone 200 yards in order to cross the American border...
