Blowed up real good


The end of "Mythbusters" is in sight.

While the show should have ended some years ago, around the time that they starting calling movie stunts "myths," I already miss Adam and Jamie, just as I still miss Tory, Kori and Grant after their unwarranted dismissal.

The Mythbusters made, not quite by accident, a flying torpedo, the most wonderful unexpected contraption ever.

They gloriously created goo and gunk and gratuitous destruction.

Power, harnessed to educate.

One stoic, one manic (but in a good way), exploding their way into rerun history.

If failure was always an option, they never exercised the option.

Amendment re TV commercials selling catheters: They are elsewhere in the cable-TV spectrum, rather than on RetroTV. The creep factor continues, however.
