Default Myth Busters.

am i the only one that watches this show? if youve never seen it then check it out at 7.30pm monday nights on SBS (last weeks repeat is on at 5pm).
these guys take myths and try scientifically prove if they are true or false. (ranging from silicon breasts exploding at 30000ft-tree cannons-****ing on the '3rd' rail can kill you-washing machine of death-chicken cannons+heaps more exciting stuff!) oh and they love to see destruction too!! to me this series has to be the highlight of TV every week. these guys have spent 30 years in the special effects industry so they know their shit and they know how to blow shit up good and proper.
seriously take a look and youll want more. some of the things they do is just hilarious, amazing, destructive, and no less than entertaining.
if theres the one 'best job in the world' these guys have it. :

Best show to hit TV ever. I love it so much, Adam is such a cool dude. 90% of the things that come out of his mouth is comedic gold. I invited a friend over to watch it and said to her "I bet you within 5 minutes there'll be an explosion, and Adam will be jumping up and down clapping his hands" - sure enough ;)

I'm hoping someone will buy me Season 1 on DVD for my birthday

Probably not released here yet but just about all dvd players can handle all region and most tv's NTSC playback so,
An online search revealed some dvds (5 available apparently)

You guys see the one how they strapped 3 hobby rockets to the roof of a car? Haven't seen the chicken one yet, I'll have to check the network.
