MythBusters in the Times

By Allan Chochinov - November 22, 2006

Core-fave...hell, every designer's fave MythBusters gets their due in yesterday's NYTimes article, The Best Science Show on Television?

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.
