WE ARE MYTHBUSTERS!!!!!!!!
TV generally sucks. Every fucking channel has caught the reality TV bug. Even most actual TV shows suck. There really are only 4 shows I still watch: Chuck, Sanctuary, Doctor Who, and Mythbusters. Mythbusters, I guess, does fall under "reality" tv but it has something other reality shows DON'T have... science. And Explosions. And more importantly, scientific explosions.
So here's a list of why Mythbusters rules over every other show...even Doctor Who:
1. The Hosts: Jamie Hyneman, The coolest, most scarily calm man on the planet, and Adam Savage, Jamie's diametric opposite, the most excitable man on the planet. These two men have, for the past 9 years, proven or debunked any and every urban myth in existence...often more than once! They will compete with each other, argue incessantly, and revel in the other's discomfort! These men might very well be the most perfect men on the planet, with the best jobs! So, of course, they are both married!
2. The Build Team: Kari Byron, the Goddess of Nerdhood, Grant Imahara, he who loves robots a LITTLE too much, and Tori Bellechi, he who is most likely to DIE on the show! These three are basically the "B" team of Mythbusters, but are as well loved as the "A" team! Kari is the perfect woman: Hot, cheerful, and LOVES to build and destroy stuff! Grant might very well be the single most adorable man alive...albeit with a robot-fetish and sometimes even inadvertently gay...see re: flailing arms screaming (girl like) "Not a Crocadile!" And, finally, he who is closest to my clutzy-ass heart, Tori! Ahh Tori, is there anything you WON'T do on this show? This is the man who flipped his bike, broke a swing, confronted bulls, and just generally was the go-to guy for the dangerous parts of the experiments.
3. The awesomest of awesome quotes from this show! Particularly since they aren't scripted!
"Am I missing an Eyebrow?" Adam
"I reject your reality and substitute my own!" Adam
"Jamie wants big boom!" Jamie
"QUACK! DAMN YOU!" Jamie
"I'm pumping as fast as I can" Grant
"This is beginning to feel like a bad idea." Tori (of course)
"Holy air-cannon, Grant-Man!" Tori
"High explosives and electricity! WHOOOOOOOO!" Kari
4. The explosions. I don't think there needs to be more said than that. When I have had a really fucking bad day, I find that the Mythbusters doing some EPIC explosions will greatly soothe me. I probably should be disturbed by this.
5. And last, but of course, not least, are the myths. They have taken on everything from really fucking old myths like Archimedes's Death-Ray to modern-era myths such as testing how truly versatile duct tape really is...and by the way, its very fucking versatile! They have gone sky-diving, taken on James Bond, Indiana Jones, Super-heroes, and just the plain weird -like will a tongue-ring make you more susceptible to getting hit by lightening? (The answer is no, btw).
I am a devoted fan. And I hope they never run out of myths to test! Goddess bless the Mythbusters!
