Funny, irreverent, sarcastic, silly, and also educational. A lot of fun. It doesn't seem to matter what myth they are testing - it always turns out interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not much I can say May 17, 2013
By Patrick Ormerod
Format:Amazon Instant Video
I'm not sure it's possible to produce a bad season of myth busting fun. I wish I had more to say, but I really don't. The team just their usual great job of having fun putting common myths to the test even making it fun to watch.

I have been waiting all day, this is he first time for this season that they have delayed it!! I am hoping it gets up soon. They say it should be up in 24 hours from original air date. So it should be up by 12am PST or sooner, hopefully!!!
