The sides of MythBusters
- Two special effects experts testing movie scenes
- Crash test dummies and homemade rigs
- Things blown up to check a rumor
MythBusters is good for you if…

- you want a myth checked with real experiments, not just talk.
- you want an episode you can put on any night, with no stakes but a result.
MythBusters is bad for you if…
- you can't do hundreds of episodes of the same format.
- you want people's stories, and here the experiment is the whole show.
