MythBusters - The Lost Experiments

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they-should-battle-mr.wizard dept.

theLorax writes "From Discovery: "If you like the MythBusters here are some videos they just posted of some of the out takes and things that didn't appear on the show. Cola bits (cleaning things with cola), water torture, otter ping pong, live power lines, cement build up and plywood flight." Here is the interview we did with these guys in December.

  1. show is crap by zlyoga · · Score: 0, Troll

    I really don't get the appeal of this show. I watched it a couple of times because I'd heard so much about it and it just seemed like complete crap. All of the expiriments I saw had such obvious flaws in the way they were excecuted so that they really didnt do anything that could prove if the myth was true or not.

    You're wrong and Myth busters is awful because it MIS-INFORMS. It would be okay if they didn't present the show as science based. But they abuse the scientific method like there's no tomorrow then the mass of people that watch the "entertainment" and no no better think this is how you do science. Loose controls. Generalisations based on testing 1 specific case etc. You end up with a more arrogant and stupid general public who think they know what science is, when really all they know is how to make special effects that go boom (which is what the show's hosts' backgrounds are in anyway).
