A really fun programme... But it had some of the best science I've ever seen on TV


People could learn so much about double blinds and controlled trials from Mythbusters..

A rare form a popular  TV that managed to be really highbrow on the sly!
“Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
“Generosity always pays off. Generosity in your effort, in your work, in your kindness, in the way you look after people and take care of people. In the long run, if you are generous with a heart, and with humanity, it always pays off.”

Been reading a bunch of interviews that Adam Savage has been giving and one thing stands out

Jamie and Adam aren't friends. They don't expect to talk or see each other very much after the show ends. Maybe once a year just to catch up. There will be no more collaboration unless they are paid.

That's very interesting.  As I understand it when the show first started it was just going to be Adam, but he brought (or asked to bring) Jamie into the show because Adam thought he would be too dull and dry on his own and figured Jamie would be entertaining as well as educational.

I'm sure we've all seen the out takes of the arguments they could have, but I imagine they see each other as colleagues.  Whilst they may not be friends I doubt they could have held the show together this long if they couldn't stand each other.
I don't always visit Lobster Pot.  But when I do. I sit.

I get on with everyone I work with...
But  I wouldn't really meet up with them if I left.

That's pretty normal I think.

Yeah, and I think it comes across quite well when you're watching the show. They have "fun" working together, but especially in the first few seasons it didn't take a lot for them to have a go at each other...

Personally I would like to see Netflix take them on and go up against Mythbusters at their own game.

Will give it a try, but looks like it might be much like their final stuff on Mythbusters and I wasn't a big fan of that...

Yeah they had a game/reality show to pick the new presenters to host the reboot.

I'll give any show that educates and pushes science but got a feeling this one wont last long
