Each episode, the MythBusters, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, 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.
