but wtf vw infomercial in the middle of the show? less and less actual content every season. i hate how they repeat everything after the commercial break.

I love Mythbusters, but I do have to agree that their stuff is getting less interesting as they go. They are eventually going to run out of stuff to bust.

What really grinds my gears are the shows that try to be Mythbusters.

Yeah, the VW ads are really starting to get annoying but, so far this season has been good. The only show that sucked was the one that aired a week ago today (exploding bumpers and horse archery). I hope they redeem themselves tonight.

I'd kind of prefer it if they solve one myth at a time not have 3 on the go. I mean you can still get 3 an episode but just break them up into actual segments. I mean it gets kind of anti climactic sometimes, and can be annoying to follow. Didn't it use to be that way?

I think they do that in order to give the viewer a sense of time lapse. Obviously, you can't go from M5 in San Francisco to the Alameda County bomb range in a few seconds so they plug another project which is occurring side by side in to fill the hole. They've always done it like that.

Yeah, it can very much be anti-climatic but it reduces confusion as to what order things occurred in.

you'll be interested to know that the version that airs here in the AU is different to what airs in the USA (and possibly EU, dont know)

The USA version has far more repeated scenes, and those bonus clips on their website are aired as part of the show instead, in the aussie versions.
