This show had the most awesome episodes ever! If you paired Mythbusters with How it’s Made and Modern Marvels it’d make for the best educational engineering TV ever.
It was definitely an awesome show but I hated the interlaced format. Every time they skipped from one section to the next they had to reintroduce it and give a “we got this far” segment; it always felt like the show was at least twice as long as it needed to be.
It’d have been so much better (for me at least) if they just focussed on one thing at a time from start to end, especially when one of the experiments was fairly gruesome exploding bits of dead pig or whatever, you could skip over that in its entirety.
But maybe the show was aimed at people with the attention span of a ferret.
Took a while to get the whole thing, but worth it. Definitely download the Smyths version. A little of the TV showmanship feel is lost, but otherwise it’s excellent.
goodness i remember being a little nerd and getting so excited when a new episode of How it’s Made dropped. i still love it of course, but the child me adored it

People have made edits of mythbusters in chronological order, with all the fluff cut out.
My search-fu lacks at the moment, butt it is out there

We’ve had Mythbusters playing on loop in our office for a couple months now, idk why we hadn’t thought of How It’s Made yet, that’s definitely next
