I love watching Mythbusters on Discovery Channel. No tigers or whatnot on there. Lots of things being blown up though.

I have to watch all Discovery Channel programmes on Sky plus now because they obviously think all their viewers have the short term memories of goldfish. After the commercial breaks they always spend about 2-3 minutes telling you what they told you 2-3 minutes previously before the commercials started. STOP wasting my life I can remember what happened three minutes ago!! After FFing past the adverts and the first couple of minutes of each section its possible to cut a 1 hr watch down to 45 mins.

iDave, please, Mersey goldfish is the correct vernacular.

Of course I am completely addicted to The First 48 on Crime & Investigation channel.

I agree with uponthedowns - amazing how they can cram a 20 minute program into an hour.

Mythbusters = Kari Byron - any argument against Mythbusters is now irrelevant

Funny how Kari always seems to get to play with the biggest guns. The glee which she shows when cutting a tree down with a Minigun is positively indecent. Which is what most of my fantasies involving Kari generally are...
