am i the only aspie that likes "dirty jobs" and "mythbusters" on the discovery channel? these two shows are the best things in my opinion, so far. watch "dirty jobs" with mike rowe. his wit and humor are right on que with every filthy, disgusting job he takes on.

"mythbusters" is another discovery channel series that is superior. adam savage and jamie hyneman use their knowledge of science and their banter to tackle urban legends to make it fun.

these two deserve a look, people.

Me Too :)

I find Adam the funniest, Then Mike is second, Jamie is third.
Jamie is only third because he seems very serious at times.

Love Mythbusters, I have to watch it. I always think Jamie has a few little traits about him.

Mythbusters is awesome, problem for me is I rarely watch TV so I usually end up only watching that when I'm out of town for an audit and staying in my hotel room. Dirty Jobs looks interesting but I guess I've just never gotten around to watching it - probably because by the time its on I'm ready to turn out the lights and get some sleep.

I love these shows!! ! I watch them all the time and they are great to do homework, especially when I stay up late doing homework. Its fun learning about all the dirty jobs that are out there and I love how Mike is so cluess sometimes and you can tell the people who do the job don't know what do with him sometimes.

I love Mythbusters too. They seem to be shown rather sporadically over here (in sunny england) so I usually find an episode when I'm flicking through channels and then there's usually 5 back to back. So that's my afternoon sorted. :-) It would appear that the DVDs are only available in American format. I'm wondering if a Playstation would play any region of DVD. I hope yes.

Last night I spent ages watching clips on Youtube. I love Adam and Jamie. And Grant. And Tory. And Cary.

Mythbusters is an awesome show! :) The film The Darwin Awards includes many of the urban legends that Adam and Jamie have debunked over the years, including the rocket strapped to the back of a car. What's more is that Adam and Jamie have a cameo appearance in the film where they are making fun of themselves!

i have the dvd's of both mythbusters and dirty jobs. my mom has a bigger dvd of mythbuster, but i won't complain. two of my favorite segments are the rocket chevy and the diet coke and mentos.

an episode i remember from dirty jobs is the snake lady one, where mike is with this snake researcher at lake mead and he gets bit many times. mike's pain is our pleasure. hehehe

Mythbusters needs to have one season devoted entirely to seeing if any of what MacGuyver did was physically possible.
