Mythbusters Now On DVD Thursday, April 10 2008

The Discovery Channel has hit paydirt with their popular reality show Mythbusters. Now the first season is available on DVD called Mythbusters Collection One.

Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage are two scientifically minded fellows who are interested in the validity of some common urban legends. They along with fellow scientists Grant Imahara, Kari Byron and Tory Belleci execute scientific experiments to see what's truth and what's bunk. Can silicone breast impants explode at high alitudes? If you use a tanning bed, will you bake from the inside out like a potato in a microwave? Will the fillings in your teeth really pick up radio transmissions? The Mythbusters handle all those legends and more in this DVD set that offers four discs. Prepare to enjoy yourself and become educated at the same time... edu-tainment!

Mythbusters Collection Two is the second installment from The Discovery Channel's hit show Mythbusters. Hyneman, Savage and friends go through many lengths to give us a good show. Can a hurricane blow off the feathers of a chicken? Let the Mythbusters find out and just be glad that you don't have to be a guinea pig for their experiments!

In this set that boasts three discs, the Mythbusters tackles urban legends that range from the bizarre: Can a certain brand of soda and a certain brand of candy create a powerful bomb? Then they handle some more serious-natured scenarios: yodeling to a avalanche to recreating what it is like to be inside of your car underwater after an accident.

After watching this DVD set, your curiousity about the world around you may deepen. Or in another perspective, it could have you running to the nearest store and buying up the candies and sodas to make a bomb that would make any teenage prankster proud.
