I do watch it from time to time. I prefer Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs though. Mike Rowe is the man. He's all over Discovery. :)

Numbers 14, 15, and 16 on my Tivo are Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and Deadliest Catch, only cause they are well repeated and the Tivo can catch them at other times of the day to prevent overlap with others shows. They are the first shows I will watch though, regardless of what else I have on the Tivo. They are by far my most favorite shows.

Sig became a lot more salty in the second and third seasons, but he's definitely a ton of fun to watch. And I give him a lot of credit for trying to be an innovator in his profession and not just follow what everyone else is doing. He has tried less fished areas (at least the show makes it sound like he does, can't be quite sure because it isn't following every boat out there), waiting well after the beginning of the season to start crabbing because of bad weather (and ultimately cod fishing during that time), and using more than your average number of pots.

Favorite Mythbusters Episode: Mentos in Diet Coke, just cause I had tried it before and was waiting for them to do it. Also the giant flaming column of soap. A pyro ... errr ... ummm ... chemist's dream.

Favorite Dirty Job: Pig Farming in Las Vegas.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble

My son loves this show and Mythbusters. He's only 4. I fear I have a mini nerd on my hands and yet at the same time it warms my heart.

My partner and I watch Deadliest Catch all the time. We've been missing House recently so we could watch it.

I am also a huge fan of MythBusters, which she likes but doesn't need to watch.

>>Anyone see the one where they blew a crater in the ground where a cement truck once parked? From the show where they tested the myth about "cleaning" the tumbler out with a stick of dynamite.

It woulda worked to! If it wasn't for the 4 feet of solid concrete inside of the tumbler...::Chortles::...

Or the episode of fastest gun slinger, or if a Silk Hanky could stop a bullet...in which...to the surprise of all, it did..

Or the myth of the urinating on the third rail...heh...

Or the myth of....I can go on and on, I love that show...lol

We should all find some myths as a team and send it Email to them for them to bust.

The Egg in the radiator one was pretty cool, I would have never thought of that one...

~Dalkin~

The myth where they could extinguish fires with sound. They had a recording of a guy from the 40 (or something) and video where he was able to get his voice so low that he was able to extinguish candle flames with it, even facing away from the candle.

It was neat. At the end they replicated it with a huge amount of speakers on a super super low tone. In earlier tests they got the flame to fluctuate with a tenor singing low into a mic. However I think their tests actually only extinguished the flames cause of the proximity of the flame to the woofer on the speaker. But eh...was neat.

The guy they video taped from the 40's (name escapes me) did it without any mics, out doors, etc. The individual supposedly had the largest known human vocal range. I'll see if I can find more on it.

Yeah he was mostly known for animal, primary bird sounds. He could actually lure species of birds to him by replicating the sounds, duck, cardinal, swallow, yadda yadda. Unfortunately he lived at a time where a talent like that did very little for him other than make him a side show really.

Normally I record the episodes on my computer so we can watch them later.

As long as I don't miss sopranos and entourage I'm good for the week. Aside from Eagles games, those are the only two shows that I know the airing times of or really what channel they are on for that matter.

~Purehand

Never seen, the show, but I DID have to put up with my whole family, friends, aquantances, and pets crapping themselves going 'YOU'RE DOING OFFSHORE WORK!!!!!!!!'

It was very tiresome.

Isn't that all reruns now?

I'm a Hero's and Lost fan, was a big fan of Alias but didn't like the last couple seasons (THANKS BEN AFFLECK)

<<I'm a Hero's and Lost fan>>

Me too, those were the only shows I even watched on TV, no I don't have anything to watch till fall :(

~Birkan Featherhands teh Drunken Prydaen

>>Television is the devil, I don't even own one.

Haha! I don't either. The internet is bad enough by itself. If I had a television I probably wouldn't have time to sleep.

>I don't have anything to watch till fall

I hate to be one of 'those guys', but I honestly don't watch TV. I haven't had anything but open-broadcast in the 5+ years I've been out of the dorms, and all I ever really use the TV for is video games, movies, and occasionally watching Fox (simpons, House, Bones, a few others).

If I could figure out how to hook my Xbox to my computer display I might just get rid of the TV to save room.

>Get a High Def LCD TV then you can hook your computer and everything into 1 screen

I'll get right on that when I have a few thousand dollars to throw at the problem.

There is an adapter for the original Xbox that lets you hook it up to a VGA or DVI connection on a monitor. If you have a either connection option, this would do it for you. The price is around $60 bucks online. I believe Dell sells them too.
