    I absolutely loved mythbusters, but honestly I think it ran it’s course. They were kind of running out of things to test towards the end.

    Also search for Streamlined Mythbusters - they’re fan-edits that remove fluff (lots of fluff in the later seasons) and rearranges the shows so each myth is played straight through before going to the next myth in the episode; instead of showing pieces of 3 different myths at a time bouncing between them.

      I’ve tried to rewatch the shows but the TV format mostly just kills it for me now. Thanks that sounds perfect for modern audiences tastes.

      I feel like there were tons of movie related options had they gone back that direction. Easily a whole season’s worth of action hero stunts they could break down.

      Just one episode could be on Commando. Schwarzenegger ripping the seat out of a car, or killing a guy with a thrown saw blade, or impaling another guy with a thrown pipe. Would be interesting to have seen them figure out the actual force requirements.
