What Season 2 of MythBusters
The second season of MythBusters premiered in January 2004 and consists of 20 episodes. Special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman work in Hyneman's workshop with their team to test urban legends, popular beliefs and pop culture claims. Each test builds devices, tests materials or travels to other locations to find out whether the idea is true. Hyneman plays the serious one and Savage the comedian, and together they form a comedy duo. The central conflict in each episode is separating what works from what's just talk. Robert Lee narrates the episodes.
