[edit] Notes for editing the episode table
This is as a reference for people who are editing sections only and not the entire page (they won't be able to see it). It's referenced to from the source. --hao2lian
NOTE FOR THIS TABLE:
- Busted myths should be marked red
- Confirmed myths should be marked green
- Plausible myths should be marked orange
- Any myths tested with inconclusive results or need to be declared in mixed form (Plausible/Busted) should be marked blue
- Do not leave the note field empty. Add a simple hyphen ("-") to fill the space. Also, always try to fill in any note fields which are empty (the more info, the better).
- Be sure to correctly nest myths which include several different trials (see the example on the cola myth)
- If you'd like to suggest a different format for this list, please do so on the talk page.
[edit] What are the official seasons?
What are the official seasons? Discovery channel seems to be billing the new epsiodes since this January 2006 as the start of a new season, but that is not how the shows are broken up in the articles here. Also, the Discovery Channel store is selling a "Season 2" MythBusters set that features 13 episodes, but according to the articles here season 2 actually has many more episodes.
What is up with this inconsistency? Can anyone help make some sense of this?
[edit] Sea-sickness
Didn't they also test a REAL over the counter oral cure for sea-sickness. I thought I remembered this worked for both Adam and Grant, but I'm not sure. Hoof Hearted 20:24, 17 March 2006 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:MythBusters"
[edit] New episodes
I added new episodes from a press release found here. [1] WP 01:49, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] There is not a fourth season yet
The episodes during August 2006 belong to season 3 not 4. New seasons traditionally start with Revisits. Season 4 should be merged with 3.
- Not according to the production crew -- Dynamite Paint Job was not produced in or near the same time as, say, Finger in a Barrel. We cannot say that revisits begin seasons either, as revisit episodes have been aired in the middle of seasons (eg. Myths Reopened). Another supporting piece of evidence is that Discovery Channel Canada is airing Crimes and Myth-Demeanors as part of its fall season premiere, which would have aired in the summer months if it was part of the third season. kelvSYC 05:06, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Change the part about the fire without matches mythes
The mythes about the fire without matches were never intended to be busted/confirmed like most mythes. They went into the tests knowing it was possible and they directly state it. Adam Y. 16:00, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia on the Skeptic podcast
In this podcast where Adam, Jamie, and Kari are interviewed, parts of this article was quoted word for word (eg. the outcomes to the Five Second Rule myths). kelvSYC 07:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Shredded Plane
After an internet search I discovered this article published by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority. http://www.casa.gov.au/fsa/2001/sep/10-13.pdf
On the last page you will see a article describing the incident that caused the damage. Is this worth adding to the references or links? --202.4.49.207 07:29, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Collision Myth
The car used in the semi-truck myth was infact a Triumph TR7, NOT a Fiat-GeorgeFormby1
