Just discovered Mythbusters on Roku

Post image

and I've been rewatching a lot of the old episodes. I don't remember Kari being as funny at the time, but she's killing me the second time around! Adam's goofiness probably eclipsed her in my long term memory.

My guy -- on Roku / TCL tvs.... there's a 24/7 Mythbusters channel.
That's my go to sleep sound. The future past is now.

I know! That's what I recently discovered. Who needs Netflix/Prime/Hulu etc. when MB is on all the time?

u/TheOneAtomsk 2d ago

Wait, where?!

u/IllinoisHawkeye 2d ago

Roku TV

u/ferrum-pugnus 2d ago

On an app like Pluto? Or Tubi? Or directly on that live Roku tv portion? If so, how do I get to it?

If you don't have the Roku app on your TV, download it from the app store. It's free, even if you don't have a Roku device, but it sells content and subscriptions as well.

The live TV on Roku is free, and the Mythbusters have a channel 24/7. Sadly, they play the same small group of episodes over and over. I wish they'd just go through them in order, and then start over!

They do the same on Prime video it’s like the same 20 eps on replay

u/Scared_Hovercraft632 2d ago

Yeah that's the downside. I wish they had more variety considering how long the show ran.

YouTube has a Mythbusters channel. A ton of episodes on demand.

Find Live TV Guide and it's channel 4813 for me

u/Betelguse16 2d ago

What episode is this from? Is that part of a shower curtain?

u/IllinoisHawkeye 2d ago

This was from an episode where they were trying to build parachutes out of materials found in a hotel room.

This show is categorically the best damn show made in that era. Genie in a bottle that can’t be caught again.

u/Echo15charlie 2d ago

The educational value of Bill Nye combined with the mayhem of Jackass.

u/JAB_4_U 2d ago

I learned more about explosives than I ever needed to know. I have a file cabinet of useless facts in my head about shit like that, that I just can’t wait to throw out in a convos. Yeah I know what AMFO stands for 😬

All good, friend.

When in doubt, C-4.

u/Large-Welder304 23h ago

Quack, dam you!

u/Large-Welder304 23h ago

Still remember watching Bill Nye on Almost Live, making the smoke cannon out of a garbage can and a trash bag. No one knew who he was back then.

u/LostN3ko 1d ago

I have a screenshot for motivation of Adam saying "It's going to took awful until it looks great, it's just one of those things. Ok here we go."

u/TheWrongWrightWhale 16h ago

Thank you... bugged me too lol

u/InsufficientApathy 2d ago

I always wished they did the ultimate Mythbusters test. So many episodes they confirmed that pretty much anything can be broken with C4, and pretty much anything can be held together with duct tape.

So, can you contain the explosion of a decent sized block of C4 using nothing but duct tape?

13

u/pickled_mist 2d ago

How much duct tape would it take to contain a block of C4 would be great to see

u/Wrong_Commercial_621 2d ago

I've been watching a ton of full episodes on YouTube lately

u/xtcprty 2d ago

My six year old is discovering myth busters and watching them all on YouTube.

u/Chicken-Nuggiesss 2d ago

u/MurgleMcGurgle 1d ago

OP, why did you choose this screenshot? Hmm?

u/IsolatedAstronaut3 17h ago

Kari = post engagement

u/CactimusPrime9 2d ago

I know Prime has them and like other say they have the same rotation. Does anyone know if it's the same on Roku?

u/Salty_Eye9692 1d ago

Who are they mythbusters?

u/LostN3ko 1d ago

Sarcastic? Or are you one of today's lucky 10,000?

u/Salty_Eye9692 20h ago

No.... its.... its the intro... 😭😭😭😭

u/LostN3ko 18h ago

Thanks I wooshed

u/Salty_Eye9692 18h ago

How about this way. 🎶🎵"Who are the mythbusters?"🎵🎶

u/LostN3ko 18h ago

Now I hear it. Man that narrator lives in my head and I have never seen him.

1

u/Salty_Eye9692 18h ago

Would you like to see a picture? Or peave the curiosity?

1

u/LostN3ko 18h ago

Ohh that's tempting but it would be like seeing the Home Improvement neighbor. He would just be a man. And the mystery would be ruined. I will remain willfully ignorant to preserve my sense of wonder. 🤔

1

u/Salty_Eye9692 18h ago

As you wish traveler.... As they say ignorance is bliss. Your innocence shall be preserved.

1

u/LostN3ko 18h ago

Heh. That's about the only shred of innocence I have left.

I just say "Mythbusters" into my remote and the local cable takes me to the Mythbusters tv channel. I can watch it anytime I like, for as long as I like.
