Michael Kent, comedian, magician, and host of The Internet Says its True, joins Cliff and Harrison for the penultimate episode of season 1, and boy is it a doozy. First up it's a myth of Titanic proportions that leaves our hosts questioning, "Just what do you mean by suck?"
Then it's into the fish tank and off to the orchestra for two silly myths which might be light on science but heavy on pure WTF – Wacky Testing Fun. Season one is almost over but the explosions just keep getting bigger. Don't miss a minute on this week's new Try This at Home!

Tensions are high as Adam and Jamie tackle the myth of whether marching soldiers can destroy a bridge just by stepping in unison. Then it's off to the bathroom for a gross look at what's really on your toothbrush (hint: it's not just toothpaste).
Last but not least, a sleeper of a myth straight out of Looney Toons sneaks up and delights Cliff and Harrison, despite dark and violent thoughts. It's a romp of an episode on this week's Try This at Home!

Gentlemen, thaw your chickens and get ready for one of the most legendary Mythbusters builds of all time: The Chicken Cannon! This iconic invention of avian expulsion makes its first appearance on the show – and leads to the heaviest war of words we've yet seen between Adam and Jamie.
You wouldn't think an episode of TV could get crazier than, "Guys shooting chickens at an airplane," yet this one does! Back on land, the guys tackle the myth of the deadly washing machine, leaving Harrison in stitches and Cliff shaking his head about what exactly is going on. Finally, the show goes to new places in a myth solved... by talking? It's a strange one, but that's why we love Mythbusters. Relive every moment on this week's new Try This at Home!

It's the most explosive episode of Mythbusters yet as Adam and Jamie find out what it takes to make an airplane decompress in spectactular Hollywood fashion (hint: it's high explosives). Then it's into the swamp for a myth that has less to do with frogs than the name might imply and go back to the Golden Age with a story based on a legendary George Lucas film (no, not that one).
Plus: Cliff and Harrison debate how Jamie Hyneman is going to cause the end of the world. Robots?! Piles of scavenged parts?! Robots made out of piles of scavenged parts?! Nothing would surprise us after this week's episode of Try This at Home!

It's time for a legendary season one episode as Adam and Jamie go behind bars (and into rain coat life rafts) to find out if it's really possible to escape from Alcatraz. The fan-favorite myth is Mythbusters at its mid-2000's best – but a piece of modern-day research might just change everything.
And if that wasn't enough, it's time to "Quack, damn you!" for a surprisingly complex and technology-filled myth about barnyard reverberations, and Cliff and Harrison marvel at the conspiratorial half-life of a different sort of quackery. We can't even hide it, this episode is a classic. Relive every moment on this week's Try This at Home!

Weak stomachs be warned: The grossest episode in Mythbusters history has arrived. It's a gut-wrenching journey into the world of porcine decomposition when Adam and Jamie test the myth of the stinky car, and we meet one of the greatest one-off characters we've seen all season. Then it's good ol' southern-fried fun when the guys see whether or not a blocked drain pipe can become a deadly racoon cannon – y'know, that old chestnut. Listen to Cliff and Harrison break down every moment on this week's Try This at Home!

Lightning may not strike twice, but if you've got a door knob on your face you probably shouldn't be surprised when the electricity comes knocking. That's what's on the (blueprint) table this week as Adam and Jamie tackle the myth of whether facial piercings can attract a deadly lightning strike. Then it's off to the forest and into the clink as the guys see if you make a cannon out of nothing more than a tree trunk (and lots of high-powered tools), then see whether or not it's possible to beat the breathalyzer. It's day drinking, but for science!
Still reeling from last week's case of the buried alive ick, Cliff and Harrison look for signs of life with three new myths – and the biggest explosion we've seen yet. Can season 1 come back from beyond the grave? Find out on this week's Try This at Home!

Well, it had to happen eventually. This week, Cliff and Harrison dive into what might be the first miss in an otherwise dead-on first season of Mythbusters, as the trio of myths leave our hosts shaking their heads – and fearing for Jamie's life.
From six feet below to hundreds of feet up, this episode really has it all. And by all, we mean lots of weird soda myths. It's an odd (and oddly memorable) journey on this week's Try This at Home!
