New ‘MythBusters’ Season Starts This Week

CNET:

“MythBusters” has now completed production on 134 episodes, and to Hyneman, that much experience has allowed him and Savage to be much more advanced in their approach to busting myths than they were at the beginning.

“The kinds of insights that we’re seeing as far as the physics and the chemistry (and) all the dynamics of what’s going on there,” Hyneman said, “we’re starting out at a much higher level now, and so the results that we’re getting are not quite as basic as they were when we started.”

I like the caption for this photo:

While they have worked together on the show for years, they make a point of explaining that they are not friends off-screen and that any tension that comes across on camera is real.
