Maybe it's just me, but..

Can somebody please slap the "Mythbusters"? I just do not like the cocky "See how stupid you are for thinking this stuff actually works? Loser." attitude they seem to project. Note I said "seem". I acknowledge I've had four hours of sleep and been taking care of a sick Herself all day so my perceptions might not be exactly what one might call particularly acute just now.

i don't know what it is about that show, but if I'm bored and come across it channel surfing, I can't look away, even when I realize I am bored and didn't need to know any of it in the first place!

I don't know, but I want to smack the berret off that one guy's head. Unless you're Max Fischer there is never a reason to wear a berret.

Also, they look a lot alike yet I'm told they're not even related. This unsettles me.

That's one of my FAVORITE shows, you asswipe!

I also love this show but must admit that once they added the "young, attractive interns" it has slipped slightly.

I would love to show both of them who's Mistress, but well, um....I guess that's something else entirely.

I actually like them - its one of the few things I watch.

Then again, I'm sure I hated them when I first watched them. Probably for similar reasons as you are experiencing now.

i hate that show. rarely do they actually "bust a myth". Ark of the Covenant ? Pashaw. Most of the time, its just "lets make a 1 hour long show about blowing shit up". I'd rather watch something I could actually learn from.

I find it pretty amusing myself - and I don't watch much TV. *shrug*
