What Season 10 of MythBusters

The tenth season of MythBusters premiered on March 25, 2012 and consists of 21 episodes. Special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman work in Hyneman's workshop to put urban legends, popular beliefs and pop culture claims to the scientific method. Hyneman plays the serious one, while Savage brings the humor. The eternal conflict remains: separating what works from what is merely said. To do so, they build devices, test materials and, when necessary, travel to other locations. Their tests include a desert island equipped only with duct tape, square wheels and cars crashed into walls like the ones seen in movies. Robert Lee narrates each episode.
