I'm having dinner with the Mythbuster tomorrow night... got any questions?
notauser: Can you ask them to watch an episode from the first season, then straight away an episode from the most recent season?I hope that the shock from seeing how much the quality has gone down might prompt them to do something about it. The new ADD friendly format is still better than anything else on television... but that isn't saying a lot. With a bit of luck they might fire the producer who believes in the  myth of appealing to the lowest common denominator.
