Blow Shit Up

Ya don't have to be pre-teen to enjoy it...

Is Mythbusters the Best Science Show on Television? - New York Times:

"Mr. Hyneman and his colleague, Adam Savage, are the hosts of “Mythbusters” on the Discovery Channel. It may be the best science program on television, in no small part because it does not purport to be a science program at all. What “Mythbusters” is best known for, to paraphrase Mr. Hyneman, is blowing stuff up. And banging stuff together. And setting stuff on fire. The two men do it for fun and ratings, of course. But in a subtle and goofily educational way, they commit mayhem for science’s sake. "

I really liked the one about a prop tearing up a parked small plane.
