Mythbusters

This has got to be the best show on cable right now. Discovery Channel, you did something right. Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage are the hosts of Mythbusters, and they have been joined by Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, Scottie Chapman, and Grant Imahara (Depending on the season). This cast test urban legends and myths and render a judgement on whether or not the myth is plausible or not. Now insert coolness, they test lots of sciency things and often blow stuff up.

The coolness of this show is hard to explain in words, but I'll try. They do stuff that every guy would think is awesome to do. Of course they preface each of their shows with a warning not to try anything at home, but you know people do. I prefer to live vicariously through these guys and just watch it on TV.

I gotta imagine that being Adam Savage is just like dressing up for Halloween when you were a kid, and Jamie acts like he's about a week away from telling Adam to get off his lawn. These guys made a guest appearance on CSI last year too. There's just some quality about these guys that exudes cool

Well that wraps it up for Science Week. As an added bit of fan service, I give you Kari Byron:
