107: Penny Drop / Deadly Microwaves / Radio Tooth Fillings

Adam and Jamie have some 'splaining to do when they tackle a myth from the Queen of Comedy herself, Lucille Ball! Can tooth fillings pick up radio broadcasts? And what does a World War have to do with it?!
Plus, Cliff and Harrison go to new heights as they break down a legendary story about deadly pennies launched from the Empire State Building and get worried about Jamie's future as a super villain when he makes a horrifying mega-microwave. What could be more Mythbusters than that? Join the guys for a deep dive into it all on this week's Try This at Home!

106: Barrel of Bricks / Pissing on the Third Rail / Eel Skin Wallet

Sometimes Mythbusters is mostly about weird ways to die – and this week Adam and Jamie have two (count 'em) two strange tales about shuffling off the mortal coil. But as we know, they don't just tell the myths, they... Pee on the third rail themselves?!
First up, it's a dive into cartoon physics as the guys test the myth of the killer barrel of bricks. Then it's time to get electric (boogie woogie woogie) when high voltage meets low class in two myths about the power of the zap. And somehow wallets have something to do with it? Cliff and Harrison break down a strangely memorable episode in Mythbusting history on this week's Try This at Home!

105: Cell Phone Destruction / Silicone Breasts / CD-ROM Shattering

Adam and Jamie are back in their element this week with kabooms aplenty. Cellphones, implants and CDs are all put through the ringer as the boys try to dispel some of the most pervasive myths around random explosions. Join Cliff and Harrison as they giggle their way through every mention of exploding chests and fiery gas stations on this week's Try This at Home!

104: Ice Bullet / Exploding Toilet / Who Gets Wetter?

When Adam and Jamie test the myth of the magic bullet, it's frozen meat and questionable JFK video game sims galore as they try to find out how a bullet could simply disappear.
The pilots may be over, but Mythbusters is just hitting its stride as Cliff and Harrison stroll into the first episode that really feels like the show they remember and delight at the debut of a true Mythbusting legend: Buster! It's time to sing in the rain and hold onto your toilet for a brand new episode of Try This at Home!

103: Larry's Lawn-Chair Balloon / Goldfinger / Poppy-Seed Drug Test

Season one is just getting started, but already it's the end of an era as Cliff and Harrison watch the final Mythbusters pilot! This week three iconic myths get put to the test in an episode packed full of memorable moments... and questionably open containers of pee. It's time to jump back into montage heaven as Adam and Jamie track down all the helium in the greater Bay area in a not-quite-a-myth that leaves our hosts scratching their heads even while they hang onto their (Sears) seats. But when it looks like Jamie's life might be on the line in one of the most genuinely tense moments of the show so far, a test of Mythbusters' storytelling mettle shows why the series was always going to make it. All this (and did we mention a lot of pee?) on this week's Try This at Home!

102: Vacuum Toilet / Biscuit Bazooka / Leaping Lawyer

Whoever invented the sophomore slump apparently didn't tell Adam or Jamie, because Mythbusters is back with a stellar second episode! This week Cliff and Harrison dive into the second of the show's three original pilots and are amazed to see how quickly it found its feet. But it's not all sunshine and toilet seats, as the guys still grapple with a few strange decisions – not the least of which being Adam's habit of putting everything in his mouth. Come for the butt jokes and stay for the steely tunes of the Stress Razors (that'll make sense later, we promise), but whatever you do don't miss the second episode of Try This at Home!

101: Jet Assisted Chevy / Pop Rocks & Soda

This week Cliff and Harrison go back to where it all began: The world premiere of Mythbusters. First airing in 2003, this episode introduced the world to Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman – two intrepid heroes on a quest. To do what... we're not quite sure yet. It's a pilot episode replete with high explosives and shadowy pig parts drug deals. But in a world before Mythbusting was a household phrase, our hosts discover a show that feels surprisingly different from the classic they remember. Is it a case of nostalgia clouding their memories, or will that unique Mythbusters magic shine through? Find out on the jam-packed debut of Try This at Home!
