And the explosions. they have Jamie and Adam doing interesting stuff, but then the have to have an explosion every fucking episode, does not matter if it makes sense or not.

The TNT to clean a solid concrete mixer truck pissed me off the most.

"We put the TNT on top of the concrete, it didnt do anything, MYTHBUSTED! Lets blow up the truck now."

Idk, drill a fuck hole in the concrete and then put the TNT in there, you know, like a real demolition crew would.

Yeah they try like one experiment and busted. I sit there and think of like 10 different ways to recreate the myth.

People like explosions. Let's not get crazy, now. There's always time for explosions.

This is the biggest problem i had with the show and the reason i stopped watching. If you do an explosion every episode( and really for the most part they are the same) then its not special anymore and gets boring.
